Yes the guitar is good, but that bass is phenomenal as well. I do love those guitar harmonies you produced. A very liquid song to listen too. Slightly Trippy at points but I think it belongs in Chill and not cinematic. Fantastic artistry though, very impressed congratulations on a fine job! Gets a fav on this end. Oh and congrats on the name change!
Cru
Thankyou Cru,those words mean a lot coming from you,glad you appreciate my efforts on this one.Yes I believe chill is where it should be actually,it's amazing how difficult it is to understand ones work as it developes sometimes don't you think?
Welcome back, I think this is a great summer-like tune. great use of the pella and good overall mix. Bro step lite with electro tendencies and very radio friendly.
good work
good luck with it!
Cru
Brilliant in it's execution and your vocal delivery amazes me, you take on a few diffrernt voices. You have successfully translated Paranoid schizoid tendencies to synth based analogue sounding music. well done
Steve
Hey Steve, thank you for your kind words regarding this song! It was an important one to me for sure. The vocal delivery is maybe not as spectacular as it could have been if I'd had more time to spend, but I am happy with it. I did not want the unfinished album sitting there waiting if I ended up in jail... fortunately that did not happen. Since one cannot predict the future (in many cases), it is best not to count on "luck" to smile upon us. The song does sound rather schizoid in it's focus shifting, and I guess it's appropriate that way. I really appreciate you listening!
Nice Intro.....Dark beats, ;53 seconds to start to hear that Oort cloud jazzy sound and Kuiper belt guitar. dreamy dare I say Celestial. 2:40 is a small breakdown in the chord structure and nicely welcomed by greys on the planet Nibiru. Nice ambient effects from the planet of Eno! Keys sound like the asteroids gently caressing Gaia to create diaplectic glass like sounds. Well done!
enjoyed that ride!
Cru
Hey Cru..thanks for listening man! It never ceases to amaze me that cinematographers always give objects moving in space sounds of their passage...I guess I'm no different! lol though this track was created while envisioning floating in a tin can and thinking there was something that I could do....glad you liked it mate, cheers Dave :)
First off you are correct, that is a cool drum lick. Second, that is some fine tasty piano chords (nice key change in the middle you gave us as well) that you have given us. I was having some fun jammin a piano solo over this while listening. good work.
Cru
Hey Cru... thanks for listening. Man, I would love to hear your piano solo on top of this track. I certainly left a lot of room for other instruments. I need to find a vocalist to sing to it.
Wow this one goes all over the place but it fits nicely in a sort of acid trip. Nicely mixed and very Avant Garde. What are your musical influences?
Cru
Thank you! I had some problems with the mix (clippings, clippings evrywhere :D), but the result is fair i think, despite i'm total dumb for it. :)
My musical influences? Really dunno. A bit everything what i hear.
David Bowie for sure. I don't really like his voice. I don't really like his music. He had some really crazy tracks with horrible disharmony what gives me unpleasant feelings and want him to stop it. But still, when i hear them, still listening from the intro to the outro, and i can remind them several years later too.
Other ones are the good old C-64 chiptunes, which means my whole youth to me.
And offcourse, the loopers on the site. Using only loops, its unavoidable. :)
Logo gone all dark again, cool...
I love the dissonance and atonality in this song and the thought you have put in the arrangement to tell a story. The piano @ 5:04 is both hopeful and ominous. Brilliant work. Gets a Fav
Cru
well... that logo is the cover of my digital album, I found that funny to put it as my avatar. glad you liked the change
Dissonance and atonality seems all my life XD. Also you can consider the entire track as hopeful and ominous.
like at 1:33 min you can feel the hope until 1.45 min.
Not a huge fan of country rock, but I am truly impressed with the sound quality you achieved in this recording. The guitars sound awesome. nice work
Cru
Thank you cru for a nice review!
I am glad you enjoyed listening to this recording. I had some difficulties with velocities of the virtual instrument but I am happy with the results.
Alex
Very good creative hypnotic tune. My only suggestion is to take the reverb off of the voice and bring it up in the mix with a bit of compression. and maybe a slight bouncing ball delay. and I think it will really shine.
I liked it
Cru
I am not realy sure how the vocals will sound at the end but i know that i will change them for sure. I realy realy hate the way they sound right now. Me system was so fucked up when i made them and my mic worked so bad that i had done the vocals in 10 little parts. You can hear that if you listen closely and they where so noisy that i could vomit :) ....
Right now i have a little better system and a better mic and a pre amp and so on, so that the vocals can be recorded in one go and with much less noise. And then i haven't to use all this EQ and reverb and stuff to let them sound at least a little good.
So i am 100% at you when you say that they need some work.
Good to know that you think that the rest of the song is something good and maybe will be something special when the vocals where worked out a little better.
Thanks for the listen and the nice words and for your suggestion on how i should use the vocals when they are made new.
Always nice to get some ideas from someone like you.
Reminds me slightly of a more modern Utah Saints. Very good. Nice mix and stereo seperation with just a hint of chup tune at the end. I enjoyed that.
Cru
OK so Ed McMahon is being a total dillwad about putting the box there. He is saying something like " My Scrotum Sails need space" or some BS like that. Angela is no better she says her rectum is full of gas by now and there is no space in the inn. So I moseyed on over to the manger that lies adjacent to the Motel 6, moved the box of Myrrh and the Vial of Frankincense, and lo and behold I saw the most whacked out Meth lab. I cried out "Jesus" like 5 times and I swear I got a reply of yes? 5 times, each time growing deeper and deeper with anger with me. So Jesus (Heh-zeus) asked me (not so politely what I was doing here and why I was holding a box of developmentally challenged Aphids. I said to him I was trying to find a "special"place for them. So Jesus took his bottle of water and made a place for the mentally challenged aphids. and he passed me the bottle. But as I looked at the Bottle it had changed to a Box merlot, and couple of fish sticks and a pepperidge farm loaf of pumpernickel bread. Neat Trick I replied. Jesus looked at me puzzled as I was still holding the Kirkland brand bottle of water and said, get away from the Meth fumes ... there making you talk stoopid. So I took his advice and started walking..noo skipping down the street towards the nearest Tim Hortens. But I could find no Tim Hortens as I was in America. And so I became sad. And the sadness lingered causing me to emote dark songs that sloedirt would feed off of the dark energy to resurrect himself from the shadows of the looperman site. At this point I longed for my igloo and all of it's frigid warmth, but I was stuck in middle america. I clicked my snowshoes together and shouted, "there's no place like Ottawa, There's no place like Ottawa", and I was instantly transported back to Gatineau...Quebec is better ;-) ...... and that's how the Legend of the American Aphid is told every year by campfire in small towns in Canada ,always.
Cruilliad and the Crodyessy
Ahhh,... the old American Aphid legend. Yes, my Grandfather spoke of it. His eyes would get misty and stare far off into the distance, and he would always rub the scar on his arm from where he fought off a well trained and heavily armed aphid horde back in WWII, (you know, the big one.)
He says they came just before dawn, during shift-change. Twitchy Tony went first. Quarter-million aphids, right to the neck. Their sheer number muffled the sound of cracking vertibre. Second was Tuggs, (a name earned from chronic masturbatory issues). He was taking a leak over by the abatis, when a whole aphid platoon rode up his piss-stream, entering the body. They lost several more, till my Grandfather was alone, cornered, welding only a bayonet and a can of clam chowder. Seeing that the can could do the most harm, they lunged at the left arm first, causing serious damage and skidding the can across the floor. "So this is it", he said, knowing he was about to be nibbled down to nothing. With a bayonet raised and a primal scream, he charged,.... but was blown back by the wing-wind from a billion Ladybugs that inundated the encampment. The aphids were incredulous, and they died incredulous. "Fuck'em" he said, lighting a cigarette that came from nowhere, and walked in slo-mo to a waiting chopper, that also came out of nowhere.
Nice mix of analogue synths and jazz sensibilities. It made some sweet background music as well. It's chill and avante-garde. takes the best of the boys from sheffield in the seventies and the brilliance of modern chill-jazz. good work.
Steve
Thank you for your nice words!
This is a track I made last Sunday afternoon playing with 'colors' trying to expand the sound sonically so to speak (acoustically, electronically or whatever). Nothing much of a true melodic substance or a solid, evolving, dynamic-oriented song-writing work in here (but I am still struggling going definitely into that direction so do not worry). No metric modulations - just few jazzy chords and some basic drumming and simple structure alternating the elements.
Thanks for pointing some connections to older music - I absolutely love classic recordings.
Glad you enjoyed some of musical illusions I created intentionally or not
I had an epiphany the other day. Your voice sounds so much like the lead singer (twin brothers) in the eighties UK band Hue & Cry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONc3OMOb98I
Nice rendition of Adele BTW.\
