on Midnight Sun by StaticNomad
Glad to see you brought Mr. Iommi back to the studio for another go around. It's not dark but sort of a determined message feel that the music brings to the table, and boy does it have a groove to it. I (just as for shits and giggles) would love you to keep doing those epic builds but don't bring it back down, just keep going as hard and heavy as you possibly can until our ears bleed. but having said that when you do bring it down and just expose some soft pads and percussion with that tasteful guitar lines you provide it is well done and reminds me of some of the "pad-downs" I have been doing like in "catatonia".
Nice expansion on a theme from the last tune.

Greetings, Crumidnight.

Yes, I brought Iommi back. In the end, he mostly just sat at the back of the studio watching me riff it up. He was a bit in awe of my badass riffage and so is coming back next week for a lesson or two. Free of charge cos I'm a nice guy.

Just as well I had the sense to identify that this was much better suited to being its own interesting track rather than being only 2.5 mins long at the end of a 9 min chill/groove track. Neomorpheus suggested I do it but I'd already thought of it.

"boy does it have a groove to it."

It is indeed one groovy mothafucka. Very simple and sparse, with lots of space for extra drum fills and bits of riffage and strings and pads inbetween some guitar parts.

"just keep going as hard and heavy as you possibly can until our ears bleed."

I think you're saying you want it to be longer. Yes - there's loads of music in this genre that goes on and on, seemingly forever. I guess the idea is you get really stoned and headnod along for ages.

It's tempting and I could easily extend this considerably but I'm trying hard to operate as a more Concise Nomad when possible. However I've got a new mega shuffle blues coming up in the next 2 weeks. 8.5 mins so far and I feel it should be more like 12. So, Lengthy Overblown Nomad is still alive and kicking. He will probably never die.

""pad-downs"

Is that like a beat down but gentler and more soothing?

Some damn nice stringy stuff in here. Mostly the sort of patches I've used many times before but still effective in context.

Take care,

Static Doommad

on Observe Feat DJ Phil - Pass the Cup by Observe
Production is great, lyrics are consonantly spot on, but what else is going to happen in this tune, a chorus?, it will just blend in with the rest of the Hip Hop magma unless you have something special hidden.

Awesome! Love the drops, love the very modern EDM sound. You understand it very well. The only thing is how do we make this over the top so people go crazy for a memorable melody.

on Hold On by austinmusic
First question above and beyond the music. How is your Pop doing. Is he OK now? What a great thing you have shared together...the creation of music. The Bonds of Art shared. This tune brought a tear to my eye this evening. Thanks for sharing this one and don't change a thing about this one. The rawness makes it more powerful. That being said and removing myself from the emotion for a minute to talk music.

The only thing I would do different is maybe clean up the individual tracks with eq and compression and panning and maybe end with an acoustic guitar coda from the beginning opening bars so we don't have such an abrupt ending shouting "hold on". that coda will give the listener a moment to reflect on the emotion of the piece and add some hope instead of hanging on fear and desperation.
Truly a great listen this evening. I am glad I clicked on it

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!

on Touch Of The Irish Aka One For Ed by Orlando51
Played this one for the wife for St Patrick's day as My heritage is 50% Irish. I wanted to hear the feedback of a classically trained opera singer. She liked it found it melancholy but pleasant. I still enjoy this one.

on Here It Goes- by DaveThorne555
So Dave, Welcome to music making. My advice to you is to be more assertive in your descriptive area when presenting this to the public. people feed off of the confidence and will more than likely listen. You could say. I'm new to this and I just made a fun tune that I like I was looking for your feedback from some of the experienced members to let me know what I can more with it.
As for the song, it has some nice chord changes and completely reminds me of this tune.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvbkMpssrjU
I put on the extended version so you hear how Giorgio Moroder builds this tune in the studio from an arrangers point of view.
Keep making tunes, keep practicing and you will get better and better. This one has a lot of promise.
Cru

DaveThorne555 replied 18th Mar 2016 - 10 years ago
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

on Tang Butterfly World by DanGoldstein
The bass line and awkward time signature makes this seem like a "Sinister march of the Insects". Don't get me wrong it's a brilliant idea and sounds awesome but scared the living shit out of me when I listened to it. I hate bugs!

Good work though

yea - I can rarely post loops because they are banned for not being in straight 4/4 time. I like the odd-meter stuff can't deny it. I was going for ambient effect mostly but I ended up with a couple of pretty scary sounds. Hope you are better now! Thanks for the listen and positive comment. Dan

on Back Again by Fl4zh
Very good, like a mix of future house and big house (without the annoying elements of that genre). I can see the floor absolutely going nuts for this one. great job. The percussion builds perfectly. And your drops are great as well. Really good job executing the arrangement of this one. Not sure about the drum fill at the end unless your just making sure were paying attention..;-)

on Virtuals by skwishfish
Just peeked in to have a listen. Yeah.... the future is in good hands, you are moving house and dance in to what I think the future of it will be. Bright shiny sounds that are smooth production wise with a hint of chip tune sounds to give a nice homage to the video game set of yesteryear.
I will be paying attention.

on Touch Of The Irish Aka One For Ed by Orlando51
Orlando....Bravo...a masterpiece.

This song is graceful, haunting, sentimental and touching with just a slight air of detachment. A Beautiful work of art.

It reminded me of three different artists songs that you may or may not be aware of as they were never truly mainstream artists but nevertheless there are elements in those three songs that you captured in one song which struck me.
The first is from Ultravox and is an instrumental called Astradyne which starts there colossal album Vienna.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-kVZsO1GCk
The second is an African artist from senegal named Babba Maal and his song playing the guitar like instrument called a Kora and acoustic guitar. I find his music has an irish like tone similar in some of the works. Especially in his song Souka Naya.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqPFQGF-sRM&;index=32&list=PLF9F9ll40VBF6lJdPJhRqkbUx5Ep6XaDl
And the last song is from Phil Manzanera, the guitarist of Roxy Music in his solo work made this extrodinary synth based ambient song called Europe 70-1, which starts out a bright and hopeful and cheery but becomes ambient and sentimental. it was the first time I heard analogue synths convey emotion . As you have done in your own work my friend.

on The red velvet hat song by joecramer
To me this is an interesting juxtaposition of american blues and european accordion that would make an awesome intro to a heavy thrash metal tune. If you keep going with the chord changes as heavy guitar riffs and add some blast drums this could become a very interesting song.

joecramer replied 14th Mar 2016 - 10 years ago
I am not a real good guitar payer and i dont know why but i dont think that i could change it cause i love it like it is. But feel free to do so and if you need i will send you the accordion steem

on Everyting awaits ft Bluniery by aelmen
nice chord structure in the intro.good solo start not too intricate, starts to create a melody. That is some extreme wah, but not to be undersold the drums are very stong. this needs some vocals indeed....as I am writing that, we get some spoken words.. nice, but not enough. 3:02 needs an ass kicking guitar solo. This is a perfect example of a good song that needs the screaming vocalist and the lead guitarist in action too complete it.\good work.

4 stars from me. I love the groove. But the stutter vox is excellent and gives the track it's moments of minimalism as you build with a lot of staccato sounds. I would love to hear a long drawn out remix of this one for the deep club set. Great work though!

on Crying in Tune feat Katie Bregman by mrwolf14
Love that rhodes piano, then we get hit with that bass line. then the spaceman dirty blues guitar. I love the usage of this pella. So different from what I used in "House Witch" (which was a partial usage of the opening phrase. You bring out the emotion in a blues-psychedelic way with the voice in your arrangement. The sax and guitar answer session at 2:16 is momentous. I didn't want it to end so soon!
