Very cool, I love the nonchalantness of your arrangement. Almost Bryan Ferry like, but the percussion was strong in this as well. I enjoyed my listen

on Hey hey hey - a meeting with the devil by joecramer
The Chorus is so Teutonic. I liked this one, you really processed Burts guitars, but it works well. I´m humming to myself Hey. Hey. Heyyyy! Teufelwerk indeed.

on Eyes Run Aground by Evisma
Greetings my blue friend.

lovely acoustic intro that builds with Piano. smart arranging and composing. Your bass is mixed perfectly in the rear of the mix. I know it´s there but it´s not overwhelming, nice work. Then we build nicely into the harder heavier section. Again all the elements are working here. I like the time sig changes as well. 2:56 caught my attention, nice reverse into that section. what sounds like claps are interesting. Also nice ending as well, de-constructed well. Evan this is your best work in my opinion. High marks for composition, mixing, arranging, instrument choices. just good all around. fav

Mr. Steve!

Gotta say, I spent so long getting this one done that your comment made my day. Yes, mixing the bass to the background is new for me, but I have to lay off all the bass layers. I can't listen to a lot of my older stuff. Mudville.

"book-a-tick-a, back-a-tick-a" is what you're hearing as claps. I have the mic at the ready all the time, but rarely use it.

Thanks again for the kind words.

on LITTLE DREAD by Planetjazzbass
Sweet. Just nicely tasteful reggae style from the late sixties early seventies sound. I used to go to a reggae night back in the day back in the states and watch this band do covers. There version of ¨Hey Joe¨ kicked ass, and the lead singer could also play a soprano and an alto sax at the same time. quite a feat. What I love about this is the bass work is awesome. The first part of the phrase is traditional reggae and you end the second part of the phrase with scalar jazz, brilliant composition. I did not realize you released a tune with the word Dread in it as I put out an ambient tune called Dread, But ever since Halloween we have been on a mental simpatico that is a bit spooky. My song was about the dread people might be feeling after the US election. Your dread song is much more uplifting and musically equates some hope. Congrats on another great piece of work Dave.

Hey Steve thanks mate!..same track names different inflections, haha when I hear the word dread it's always pronounced with a Rastafarian lilt, no wot I'm talkin about mun (accompanied by sound of big spliff getting lit up in background)....it's kind of sad that Dubstep has replaced what used to be occupied by reggae but that's life, a cousin of mine recently spent two years working in the Seychelles and sent me heaps and heaps of their local music which is very reggae based but way more pop oriented, sort of reggae without the ganja! lol...ah me no partake of de erb dees dayz mun doze rastas wud tink I'ma crazy mon mun!...cheers mate Dave :)

Steve! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a listen. I am happy to know you enjoyed the 'pella. I had to actually YouTube Junior Vasquez. That would be awesome! At the point when it's finished I will definitely contact you. I have to check to see whether I will need an additional mechanical license. I believe you might have my contact info? If not, send my a PM so that we can touch base via email.

LovePeace&Light,

on Fist Bumps Of Fury by StaticNomad
Greetings Septic Hebomad:
¨Fisting the night away!!!! As Chubby Checker never sang it as ehh? Song Feels a little like a tantrum one of those little snowflakes might have at university nowadays because the wrong pronoun was used on someone. Seriously Intense therapy session of the primal nature. :Neomorpheous said: ¨Way too brutal for young ears, as well as dead Grandmothers ears!¨ Well I can tell you my Dead Grandmother loved this. It sparked her creative streak to decompose something....(drum hit). As for the young ears, let em learn how hard life really is. BTW 3.25 reminded me of something New Wave or Van Halen like with the drum tom solos. I was Banging my head by the end of this and I loved the ending. I´ĺl be by later to dissect this one, but this was my general listening review.

ExCruciatingly brutal greetings.

Good point about the snowflakes and pronouns. We've never talked about it but I actually think about that annoying subject quite a lot and have been following the case of your fellow Crunadian Professor Jordan Peterson with great interest. See him defending his refusal to capitulate and be forced to use made up pronouns here (and in many other videos):

Genders, Rights and Freedom of Speech
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kasiov0ytEc

Chubby Checker may well have fisted the night away but perhaps just didn't sing about it. I don't think Elton John was singing "Yeah, I'm totally gay" when he was married to a woman in the 70s.

Anyway, back to the fist bumps, which are much more fun.

Good decomposing grandmother joke. For that you get as many drum hits as there are in this brutal track. So, about 10,000.

"BTW 3.25 reminded me of something New Wave or Van Halen like with the drum tom solos. "

Perhaps though that section probably is a bit too open and needs a little something else (bass?) to go over the top, as pointed out by The Evanator.

"I was Banging my head by the end of this and I loved the ending. "

Good as it deserved that extreme ending. I had to take it even heavier than before and I managed it.

Brutal Primal Nomad, brutalising Crunadian ears primarily for the fun of it.

on The lost Darkness-The Devils cure by FrozenStick
Love the beginning 7th progressions. Then we get dissonant.....nice. 1:03 is a foreboding pad. Then a dissonant piano section. Then back to the mighty pads 3:12 has an atonal Piano-bass line, cool. Then a vibrato synthoid instrument to express emotion. This one is all over the emotional map. 4:19 sounds like you coming to terms with the music and your psyche as it has a positive vibe. but wait...you end on a sinister minor note....curses for making me emotional invested...lol. this is a great work. i enjoyed my listen.

on If It Were So by BlueSkyLook
Hey Blue Sky. First off congratulations on some really nice acoustic guitar playing with an awesome melody. What I hear here is a need to fix the mix a little bit and to add a bit more percussion. Also I would like to hear the bass more in the mix as that will enhance the awesome acoustic guitar playing. If you have the stems available I would love to work on this one as it made me sit up in my studio chair tonight. PM me if your interested as I saw your collab request.
Cru

There is no bass in my track, only low brass line :)

A colabo would be great, I have the individual stems in my DAW and can send them to you (wav or mp3).

on Forgotten spirit by mindhiest
Dude, again a strong piece of work from you. can you PM me your Antares auto tune settings if you would be so kind? I have some ideas as well of expanding that vocal sound to make it wider in the mix and even more compelling. to me that vocal effect reminds me of a human cello. The cello is the most expressive string instrument and can convey emotion. This is awesome cinematic work. favd.

Thanks Cru! this week end, i went to hear a friend reggae / dub band. So after the concert, i gave us all my dub tracks. They listened to them and they told how they were surprised by the mixing: Only the kick should be more present.

i think i'm going to ask help near a friend who's job is sound engineer :)

Thanks again!

on Highland Homecoming by Orlando51
Ahh, late night back from work. I make a nice gin and tonic (perfect mix of gin, lime and tonic water.) then I sit back and listen too this. I think my blood pressure has fallen to an acceptable level, and I can finally relax. mate this is some fine work weaving Ed´s guitars and composition with the beauty of your Piano playing. We have reached Nirvana! Only Gabriel, and Ferry and maybe Gilmour have reached this level of intimacy in there arrangements. Bravo...Bravo

on VOLKANO DANCE MIX by Timmons2
Nice Mix, Alexx Marie´s vox reminds me of the Canadian artist Allie X just a bit. My only critique is that the beat is more like a 2 step and so might be harder to dance too. (unless you developed a volcano line dance?) I was almost waiting for a section where you drop a 4 to the floor beat with the same rhythm and bass structure. But technically the mix is great.
Cru
Timmons2
Timmons2 replied 7th Nov 2016 - 9 years ago
Thanks for commenting. Believe it or not, I hardly ever do records like this because I know there are other producers who live and breathe this genre of music. I actually tried the 4 to the floor beat but it didn't work the way I wanted so I stuck with a 2 step as you descibed it. Normally, I just make more Pop/R&B and Rap records when I feel froggy. I've even tried my hands in a couple of Rock records that I have on my page but Dance/EDM or Electro have not really been my expertise. I tried to do some things outside my comfort zone but sometimes it doesn't translate well. But thank you for the feedback, I'll take your words for consideration if i decide to tackle this genre again.
