crucethus

Thanks for listening Crucethus. I've only recently started listening to Kate Bush. Although I remember seeing the video for Experiment IV as a kid and having nightmares for weeks. Anyways, I love how every song she makes has it's own unique signature. They're always engaging, but never sound like Pop from a can :P
I think I may put this track aside for a while and re-evaluate it at a later date. Otherwise I may end up making it worse and I'll lose it anyway. Thanks again.

Thanks cru! Keep it real brother!

Brado

Thankyou for the listen and those inspired words.

Take care.

OK, Cruminator, you crunch that grenouille and its little jambes.

I like the idea of a Crobocop.

Instead of a #####, he bashes criminals with a Crobar.

Oh, thanks a lot Cru. I ##### that Burt will be same happy then me to read this nice and friendly comment.
Good to hear that this little track compelled you to give us the favor of a fav.
And you are right, in a way it IS a afterparty song :)

stay tuned

Hello Steve. I listened many times to the track and I think there is nothing really that 'weird' about this version. I buy it entirely and I love it!
Some of your other works were much more fragmented or eclectic in my opinion being kind of sound-collages of electronic dance music elements, so to speak. This one is incredibly coherent to me and it is morphing very very gently. Especially it the middle area of the track with it's dancing power. Extremly pleasant music to listen to me.

I was inspired by electronic works of german artist Pete Namlook and Blofeld is a perfect synth to make music like this. I will be exploring further the synthesis and posting more tracks in the future. Hope we can make something together again.
Thank you for making such a nice tune! Alex

hello Steve
I am really glad you liked my current synthesizer explorations! Not a fan of a soccer myself either (I am not quite sure what you mean - is that maybe something language-related regarding certain expressions(?). It will be great if you can take it and turn it into something more proper house-sounding. Thanks for that! I know you can make some really progressive music. I have stems ready to go to you and am just about to write you a pm.
Thanks again for your nice comments and the idea of developing the track.
Till then, Alex

Thanks mate, appreciate your comments. U2/the Edge - absolutely, that's the sound I wanted for this song.
Got to admit that I did not know the other names you mentioned, but I will check them out.

Regarding the vocals, it's not me that is singing, it's HEMANIFEZT - but same as you said, I too appreciate his sentiment and his manners. So thanks again for listening! TG

hello Cru
Thank you so much for playing my music and writing such a nice comments! I have to go through some hard times at the moment and your words really helped me to stay sane today. Not sure when I will return with something new regarding my music-making - for now I keep uploading some loops on this site only.

Vocal is by TaraToxic http://www.looperman.com/acapellas?mid=TaraToxic Those are 2 tunes I made with a german guy who skilfully programmed that guitar solo. The drumming is a midi performance of EZdrummer with some single additions of mine. I was aware of the 'different key' thing of the vocal part and I am glad you liked my vision - it surely might appear as something obviously unusual for some other people. I much appreciate your opinions and am happy that you like that special airy musical style I am doing.

Mentioning 'I wish I could fly' brings some nice memories - I really liked some of your older tunes I came across the moment when joining this site - especially 'Bedroom Games'. I think I might be able to make some better 're-orchestrations' as I progress with my arranging work (still learning a lot) in the future. Some themes from your songs are great - your synth work was really inspiring to me as well.
Truly I am doing all this stuff only because of this site - in 'a real life' I sometimes take a chance to play and record church organs (as it is a part of my work by actually restoring them). The music became a hobby to me but I plan to do something more with it at some point. We will see...

Thank you once again for your support and very nice comment. I much appreciate that.
Best to you, Alex

Awesome dropped you a comment on it :)

"I will send a private message with my e-mail"

awesome, ill send you it over mon-tue ish. working this weekend so wont have a ton of time.

"one of my favourite loopmasters on the site at the moment!
cheers cru :D that means alot to me

Regreetings, Crumagnon Man.

It took me quite a while to work out what I think you might be suggesting.

So, instead of me making the track longer by adding in lots of extended craziness, you want me to not return to the chill stuff on 2:36 but instead extend the heavy middle madness.

But I like the return to the chill!

"keep making it chaotic and mayhem and massive walls of sound and energy as far as you can go"

I could fairly easily do that but I've done it loads of times before eg in

The Bigger The Fatter The Better
http://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/155188

The obvious thing to do here would be to also take the drums double time in the heavy middle and then see if I can manage some fast kind of widdling leads. Shredding, as some might say.

2:17 I do quite a nice, simple bluesy mostly two note short solo but I could probably manage more of that.

Overall, I quite like the track this length and structure and enjoy the ambient chill mixed with the balls out heaviness. Thanks anyway for the suggestion. I will bear it in mind, as I do with all (sensible) suggestions.

"I believe there is a certain restraint button you have deep in you that prevents you from doing that"

Yes and no. Of course you should always exercise restraint in music making otherwise things will get too extreme and ridiculous and lack finesse and skill. I have to use the restraint control to not make things too ridiculously long, heavy, layered, bizarre and so on.

"Crueactious period!"

No idea what that means.

Tastefully restrained, Concise Nomad.

thank you! yeah really tried not to be too repetitive on this one

Thanks, cru :) I will get to this one very soon! Will have the software soon!

Brado

He's doing pretty well right now, thankfully. Constant battle but we're always looking up. And thank you so much! It was a special track to do, for sure. And definitely some things to think about for the next version, I like that idea about the ending. Glad it resonated with you! Thanks again!

Thanks Cru, looking at your and Silverman's comments, I've gotta feeling I'll have to start from scratch and take a new approach like I did with rising nuclear sun. The original version rising nuclear sun was in development hell for months and extending north of 6 minutes long. Will look into LMMS and Audacity a bit more to see if I can add more effects. This is the first time I used both Garageband V6 and V10 together and apologies if the sound is worse than previous due to messing with the equalizers, mp3 bitrate and compressors. Will change the text. I know it looks like the work of an amateur but versions change in quality as new suggestions are applied and new attempts are made. I've been in this game almost two years now. Once again thanks for the suggestions and constructive advice. -Dave

Cheers Crucethus :)

yeah your welcome to remix it if you want, you want me to send you the stems? :)
thanks for listening

Geez, I just listened to this song again after being away for a while and it makes me want to record again :( Alas, patience is a virtue. Loved the song by the way!

Brado

Actually I recorded some phrases for his tune, but he only took the humms...
His song, his rules.
Thanks for listen!
