on Fire In The Air by Planetjazzbass
I listened to this after hearing Psychotropic's version: your version is more a "song" in the classical sense. MrPC has "spread" some jazzy-feeling over it, which provided a completely different result.
I love both versions!
Well done (but I was expecting nothing less by our MrPJB!)

on Psychotropic Fire with 22 Catch Air by PsychotropicCircle
"understated" jazz works perfectly with this pella.
Well done!
PS: I am a big fun of what Erik Truffaz did with rappers in Bending New Corners, I think your work is at a similar level.
Never understood why we don't have *more* of this! It works so well!
on Poison Of Love by PsychotropicCircle
But I think this is exactly what a musician should always do (or at least try it): giving the song what the song needs.
And this piece of music works beautifully!
Maybe the ending could be improved, but beside that (minor thing) this song is a real masterpiece.
Ciao, Domenico
on Broken Hearts (completed) by PsychotropicCircle
Superb work on the low frequencies, as usual :-)
I am a big fan of your music!
on Get By by PsychotropicCircle
...and the train in the ending, I am sure it is a direct connection to the barbary coast ;-)
Love your bass tone.

The original is still there, but in a totally new rendition.
Thanks!

I don't think I am gonna getting an answer, but I am really curious to know how you got this bass sound?
Synth?
Thanks again for sharing your music with us.

on Broken Bars From Zach´s Soul by PsychotropicCircle
And I fully agree with him: this is pure genius!
I like this song a lot.
Ciao, Domenico
on Farisha - Stay by Enzotic
Excellent job: as somebody already stated, this is radio-ready.
You have shown good taste in keeping the instruments at the right level, creating a nice carpet for Farisha's voice.
And I also liked how your instruments become more "predominant" towards the end.
Very well done!
Ciao, Domenico
on Green Shuffle Aka SCCM by Orlando51
I really like the final piano part; superb sax.
And of course, Ed's guitars are the icing on the cake :-)
The level of your work is always very high.
Thanks for sharing your music with us.
Ciao, Domenico
With much appreciation____Orlando
on Opioid by StaticNomad
on Stay featuring Farisha Haque by RichieWinn
...and this is a real art!
I think this should always the first goal of a musician: give the song exactly what the songs needs, not a single note more!
With that respect, the short guitar solo is a perfect example: it is helping tremendously in creating a "movement" in a point where the song may slip into "repetitiveness".
In short: I loved this song!
Ciao, Domenico
PS: ...forgot to mention...I hate the auto-tune effect and I fully believe that Farisha doesn't need it... but who am I to dictate what others should do?
And the final result is "very enjoyable", this is all that matters.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post your comments. Much appreciated.
I like the "understated" view very much and just about sums up my approach to all of this. I guess my view is "little is more" and sometimes it's what you leave out that is important. Thank you too for the comment on the solo. Again you hit the nail on the head as providing some contrast was indeed the purpose of it. You have a good insight into how I work I think!!
OK I am all auto tuned out so glad you found the overall track enjoyable.
Regards
Richie
on The forgotten symphony by johnnyproducing
Actually it is so good that I think that the piano "alone" would even be better (IMHO).
You have a good touch and lots of good ideas in this one.
Really liked
Ciao, Domenico
PS: I would have downloaded it if it was possible. But no download, so I mark it as favorite for listening again later :)
on fight the fear by DanGoldstein
As already mentioned in other comments, the simplicity is the key and keeping things simple is not as easy as it may sound.
Good work!
Ciao, Domenico
PS: Now I am going to check out the work promenade did with your ideas... I really liked your sentence "music finds its home in spite of us"... I think this holds true for every form of art.
on Noi doi - Behnam Zandi featuring Corina Ruxandra by deciBel
The vocal and guitar parts are really walking hand in hand through the all songs, it makes me thinking of two persons walking closely on a sand beach at sunset.
This song is pure poetry.
And I of course loved the sound of the Romanian language: it is such a musical language.
Loved this track.
Ciao, Domenico
PS: of course I have to join the others and ask you and Corina to start making music again... Benham, the world will become a poorer place without your musical genius.
And I am *NOT* exaggerating. Take care my friend.
ringrazio youy molto molto per l'attenzione e l'ascolto ...
la ringrazio molto per queste parole generose e il vostro valore amicizia, amico ...amico mio ...
..Domenico, Non so circa il mondo fuori di me .. e non mi dispiace se non il mondo mi e la mia musica si sente o no ...
ma la musica era il mio rifugio ... non quello che stavo facendo per rendere il mondo esterno mi sento ricco ....
ja...music has been my shelter my friend ...& the world inside me feels better if I do leave (as I've hard-ly done all these 11months so far ) this shelter ...
....me & music do not like , do not underestand , do not feel eachother any more...and I don't like the world of music any more ....& this virtual show of decibel , this living as a jamming tree , is better to be turned off ..
... I believe the world will never be poor without my trials , until the great musicians like U are still continuing this way ....prendersi cura di te ...
dire a tuo figlio poco che ha uno zio iraniano invisibile..
...many thnx Domenico ....from behalf of Corina & me , both ..I'm really gratefull of yours & kind heart , real friendship & worth perception ...
prendersi cura di te ....mi amico ...

You never disappoint guys.

Always a pleasure to hear from you.

on That Magical Place by StaticNomad
Thanks for the new track. Something different this times: the synth sounds here are more "impulsive". Interesting.
Few notes around...
~0:40 I like the "paml muted" notes, they create an interesting rhythmic pattern. Good.
~1:20 Nice "crescendo" with "strange sounds"... one of them seems almost a human voice.
~2:00 I didn't like too much the "bell" sound, but it worked fine to introduce the next section.
~2:30 the drummer goes crazy for few seconds... the first time you listen to the track it sounds strange, but later I recognized this is just an appetizer of what will come later.... funny. Liked it.
~3:00 I won't say much about the guitar here. I think this is one of your trade marks. You have many, you are a lucky guy ;-)
Only one remark: I think the initial volume is a bit too high. Only for the first few notes.
~4:30 the thing that I like most in this fast section is the end. I like how it resolves into a new "chilly section".
From now on, no big surprises.
Well done.
All in all, probably not a "memorable" song but a very good one.
I started to like your music some months ago, even if I think your are not really "writing songs": your tracks are more layer of sounds one on top of the other used to provoke feelings.
But whatever, who cares: the important thing is that I like it. Period.
Ciao, Domenico
Not sure what you mean by the synth sounds being more impulsive.
"0:40 I like the "paml muted" notes"
Yes, well noticed. I am doing palm muting because I'm playing triplets with fingers and want the notes to be very staccato so the muting is for the close control to make the notes staccato.
1:20 human voice.
Maybe. I have lots of synth sounds in my tracks that sound a little like voices - sometimes human, sometimes animal.
"2:00 I didn't like too much the "bell" sound"
I guess the bell sound you're taking about is the synth instrument that has a bell sound to it. I like it and the melody it's playing.
2:30 yes you're right about the double time drum fill making more sense when you hear the heavier, faster stuff later. However, even without the later drums changes, I still think it sounds good. Double/half time is cool - just as long as it's in time!
3:00 my signature resonator guitar. Hope it's not boring. I use it in many tracks but play it over so many genres that I hope it's presented in a new, interesting way.
I hope I have lots of trademark sounds. Can't say I really invented any but maybe it's just the way I use them that stands out.
Yes, fast section drop back down to the regular tempo chill is good.
"I think your are not really "writing songs": your tracks are more layer of sounds one on top of the other used to provoke feelings."
I agree. They're definitely not songs. Just me being creative with sounds and instrument playing and arranging etc. I'm just exploring things I haven't heard people do before and enjoying and celebrating some of the great sounds I'm able to use and combine in new, strange ways.
I hope it is a memorable track for some people. I try to make every track like that. DOn't want to make simple, easy pop music that sounds like too many other people.
New music coming soon...
on The Sting by DESTERO
I am not sure how much "room for changes" you have on the vocal part: if possible, you should try to get it a bit cleaner (like proposed by Evan).
A possible approach would be to have the same vocal part on two tracks: one of them will stay "almost dry" and the other can get the effects you need (and you can also apply a subtle detune to this latter one).
Also, what I often do, instead of applying the delay to the whole vocal part, I cut the bits I want to get delayed and I put them on a separate track: so the delay effect is only on a special vocal track. This is all to keep the original vocals so "intelligible" as possible.
You did a wonderful job with the guitar sound: simply beautiful! Both clean and distorted sounds work incredibly well.
So, please let me join the others in faving this song: this is one of the greatest songs on looperman ever (top 10? maybe...I need to think about it, but top 50 for sure)
Looking forward to hearing your new songs, but be aware: you set the bar very high ;-)
Ciao, Domenico
thanks for that much praise glad you like,fixed the vocals ,hope it sounds a bit cleaner :)thanks again for turn in and have a listen, by the way the bar is very high and there is a lot a work to do for my next rock project i´ll try to set the bar a little higher,(possibly) we´ll see, nice review

on Technical Time Ft FarM by Spivkurl
Another good one! You know I like when you sing :-)
A lot of good words have already been spent on this one, so I won't say much.
I completely second the comment of MrValveDriver.
If we're looking for "comparisons", definitely the TalkingHeads brought up by MrPJB are one possibility but I won't forget about Devo as well.
That said... I will now download and re-listen to this many times ^_^
Ciao, Domenico
on Midiman007 and My05-My03 VS Toto Childs Anthem by midiman007
Your version is very close to the original.
Very very very good.
Ciao, Domenico
Thanks for the nioce compliment on this track. We tried very hard to make it sound like the orginal. I guess it paid off.
on Phantom by jsyoung83
And some echoes of KC can be heard here... not too much though. But that's good. This is an original work.
The start is good.
I enjoyed a lot the next section, nice bass work ;-)
And a good usage of the keyboards. Liked.
Then we have a section with a marked rhythm that will accompany us for a while. Good.
Then some good riffs, with a good ratio "strange" to "bluesy" scales. Liked as well.
Ciao, Domenico
on Gumble by jsyoung83
It has groove: liked the bass work here.
Superb guitar work: a lot of little things "running in the background"
The key-change works fine: it kind of breaks the track in two sections and keeps the hear awake (...and as you mentioned in your comment, probably you need it to join two other songs)
The final "unisono" scale is tasty: liked!
Ciao, Domenico
PS: at 1:53 you have a "noise" on one of the guitar tracks (plectrum noise?) ... nothing disturbing by the way
on Priest - Vampire Slayer by Billydragon1
It was time for me to listen again to one of your songs... thanks for providing this one! I enjoyed it. Very good track, as usual man.
I like a lot the initial piano part, very dreamy. And I like contrasts, so it was a pleasant surprise to hear the next section with the "short-synth" notes.
On top of all this, your voice, powerful and "interesting" as usual.
Thanks!
Ciao, Domenico
It was a surprise to hear from you. Thanks for listening and commenting. Always appreciated, yes the piano intro was meant to be like that to set the scene of the movie(in my head) before the contrasts kick in. I was also experimenting on chopping my voice and adding different filters.
Anyway well done Germany(your country) on the soccer world cup thrashing Brazil - was unbelievable their skills, very clinical. Stay strong Wolfman. Achtung! - Mr.Dragon
on Jason Only Gets Two Hits by Evisma
This is a good song. Very good.
Your bass is more in the background this time, but the melodies you play on the acoustic guitar are working very well. At 1:08 we have some very "bassish" lines though ;-)
The section starting at 1:42 is my favorite moment: I like how it gets introduced and here everything is "perfect". A wonderful moment.
What I did not like is the synth sounds that follows (starts at 2:14) ... I think this melody is a bit too "simple", which wouldn't be a problem per se but doesn't work with the "fat dance lead" synth sound (IMVHO).
One suggestion: I like the ending piano, but it would be nice to repeat it a couple of times more, adding a delay (with fade in, not all at once).
Just an idea...
Again: thanks for sharing this track with us! Very good level as usual from you (actually no, it's even better than your usual stuff...)
Ciao, Domenico
I take your comments very seriously, and they are appreciated. My only bass player friend.
Take care Domenico.
Evan
