on JUST LET IT GO by CitizenMofo
So.... a big wow, musically and artistically. You were able to bring across the pain and confusion brilliantly in the music. So the strings were developing and becoming more and more dissonant, I kept thinking I hope he clarifies it with a defined key towards the end (A happy ending I guess), but what you did was to minimize it again around 1:48 and bring it back down to the string plucks, which works just as well. It tells me musically your not over this one, but your trying desperately to break free from the pain that your relationship had caused you. And so musically your not ready to let go in a joyful way yet.
great work. Awesome vox and harmonies.

Thanks, Cru, your reading of the song is actually more brilliant than the song, and it taught me some things about the song, which is way cool. We don't know really know why we do these things, I guess, when we do them, so your insight is very helpful for me to hear the song more objectively. Also, as a writer, I'm highly trained, but in making music, I'm totally intuitive. So thank you for your thoughtful comment!

Thanks for the nice comment. I must say Minor2go has some extremely good piano loops. Very happy he is sharing them to us.

on Mellow Upbeat by xKemistryx
Very nice track.
I would say there are some elements of Reggaeton as well as some Breakbeat and early Dub-Step characteristics. you have combined some cool genre elements to make a fusion of sound that just is awesome.

on The Streets Are Ours by silverman
So it starts out with a NIN sound, and then moves into this otherworldly zone. I get the Donna Summer Reference in this and think you should re-name it ¨Love to medicate you baby¨!;-) it is a compelling listen though, and I will return to listen after a few more beers (since I am off tomorrow) to give a more randy description!

Yo Cru.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I'm really not sure what to make of this other than there's something I really like about it but have no idea just now where to take it or if it can actually be taken anywhere!
I think I'm going to try and put a poem over it I did forty years ago.
It'd be called a rap these days.
Maybe I'll be called the second rapper ... Bob Dylan being the first.

on BRAIN WAVES1 -Original Mix-instrumental by lechina
Happy I got to hear this one from yah. I can hear the South African influences in the drum patterns, but you deliver it with a minimalist style which is very cool. The organ is interesting as well. It´s hot (28) today in Ottawa and I am enjoying a nice beer listening to this one as the breeze filters into my listening area. perfect accompaniments for my day mate!
cheers Cru

on Pavement Hitter by Spivkurl
So I´m listening to this piece while reading the others comments, and at the end, at 3:02, one of your synths sounded like a damn harmonica, neat effect. This is sort of walking music. Nice use of white noise. Your control over these analogue instruments has become masterful. But it´s the delicate touch of the bleeps juxtaposed over a cool moving baseline, that is not predictable in any stretch of the imagination. But also you use your synths to sound slightly ambient as well in your arrangement of this work.
This is the point where I don´t compare your work to someone else's and I can say , ¨This sounds like Spivkurl¨ I did not want it to end. Great job

Hey Steve! Happy to see you here at this track!

It is true, this is entirely walking music, at least at the pace I try to keep. I believe that you hear what the music is saying, and I am thankful.

Any white noise in this design is pretty incidental. It was not abused on my modular or monotribe. I don't always remember where my sounds came from though.

My recent patching sessions have been very enjoyable, and more focused than before. Most of my patch bay is largely disconnected since my last rearrangement, so I have been choosing my instruments carefully, and only connecting what I need via midi and audio. Finally got some cable nests untangled this week, so that helps!

I like the swing of the analog parts, which give a weave to walking the straight line. True to life for me lately. Timing has been an utter nightmare since FL studio 12 came out, but I am battling through it, and I think I have learned much in the process. The application could be considered broken at this point, but I think that I am growing used to broken equipment.

I am happy that you can not associate this with anything, since it means I'm doing my job as an artist. I can't think of anything which directly reminds me of this either, ha ha.

Thanks for the great and enjoyable comment. Hope that you are well. No tornadoes, right?

on Mirage by Orlando51
Leon, another winner. I love how your production brings a different value to Ed´s melody. 1:42 the heart of the emotion of the piece shines through. The strings (as zacoos pointed out ) bring a melancholic feel to the piece. The rhythm is definitely Ed. I like the use of SFX as well, creates a nice ambience, even some reverse sounds. A lot of good production went into this one. great work.

Nice mixing and placement of instruments. Reminded me slightly of Bran Van 3000 (James Di Salvio) in the way you created this laid back feel and groove. nice work.

It's because of that electric guitar xD
I don't even know how to make the electric guitar be more realistic without having it to be "mono-ish" sound

Anyways, thanks!

on Not Yet - Vocal Mix C by Spivkurl
Hey Spiv, another artistic winner. as always love the voice and the suggestions you followed seem to separate the sounds much better. I can even hear a remix of this one in my mind. The melody lingers long after I stopped listening so thatś another good sign (The old Grey whistle test). A most pleasant experience you have brought forth this evening kind sir.

Spivkurl replied 9th Jun 2017 - 8 years ago
Hey friend! It is always a pleasure to receive a listen and comment from you! I feel that we do not always agree on things publicly, and I appreciate the fact that neither of us actively carries that into our appreciation of art.

I though about the idea behind this song for a good while, possibly too long, until the compulsion to record it became unbearable.... until nearly everything I experienced was in harmony with this idea. Have I done this to us? I can't say, but I don't think that I have that kind of power or control.

This is the sort of song which desperately begs for a remix, or remake. I resisted the urge, all the way through, to avoid destroying the initial instrumental inspiration from the contest. This probably was detrimental to the final concept. The sounds bite, and it could be way more potent.

I've been trying to work on songs and project more "one at a time" lately, and one result seems to be that I hear the musical work repeatedly in my head. It creeps into my sleep and my reverie. It disrupts my listening to other items.

I'm very pleased that you enjoyed that song, and I thank you for leaving your words here!

on The Face Of Last Place by MOONLYTE
This is good. awesome production on the vocals. You have been really improving over the last year ehh? Myself, not a fan of the hip hop genre, but I can appreciate the best of it. I know you do metal. I could hear in the chorus a full on metal explosion vocally and instrumentally. good tune.! Fav´d

I think I've been approving quite a bit as well. And I also thought about doing some screams in the chorus but thought it would be too much as the music has a lot going on that area already. Might get drowned out or have too much going at once. Maybe I will try in the future. Thanks for the listen!

on Can You Feel My Pain Feat WithoutMyArmor by zacvoos
Well, I just want to say Wow!, great job. What I loved is the verses. They were freaking perfect professional sounding segments. What I did not like was the first chorus. the second chorus however captured what you should do with this song and his voice. make it minimal to bring the emotion of his voice in, and then smash us with that verse again. keep on this one you are so close to perfection.

on Back 2 Life feat Nick StoneStreet by Zivonmusic
I do like this, it´s a nice chord progression. The vocals need to come up in the mix. They are still buried in the back of the song. Also might I suggest dropping a little cash on buying Valhalla VST. It is the most amazing reverb, digital echo you will ever work with, and it´s not that expensive. If your going to mix vocals, you will need it. overall it´s progressing lovely.
carry on

on The Demon and The Piano by Tinka0
I may have just pooped my pants. Lets just say that was intense. The Whispering voices juxtaposed with the tourette´s like whup´s made me think this is what Schizophrenia might just feel like. You sir are taking D & B somewhere else this evening. and keep on expanding it.

on Empty Vessels by Evisma
Greetings O´ Smiter of the orange haired despotic one!
Nice dynamics. 2:00 was uplifting as all get out. Loved that progression. I could almost hear lyrics for this one. 3:02 is another sound that I am enjoying greatly.
¨some taken advice from a guy with VD.¨ I have heard that syphilis + gonorrhoea X Chlamydia leads to enhanced hearing, and a really painful itch in the nether regions, or even possibly industrial music. ;-)
This one was ¨Rad¨ ¨ Mint¨ ¨Groovy¨ ¨Dope¨ copacetic¨ ¨ The bees Knees¨ ¨Bad¨ ¨Fu Shizzle¨ ¨I creamed in my jeans¨ good! to name a few timely euphemisms

keep it up! (sponsored by Cialis )
