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!

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 :)

on See what you hear by ronabo

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.

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.

on i STILL want to believe by traz75

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

traz75 replied 11th Feb 2016 - 10 years ago

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. :)

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.

on The wild warrior by joecramer

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

joecramer replied 7th Feb 2016 - 10 years ago

Hey 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.

stay tuned

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

Evisma replied 5th Feb 2016 - 10 years ago

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.

War is hell.

promenade2239 replied 5th Feb 2016 - 10 years ago

Hello 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

Best to you, Alex

Ok, VIC-20! Then you know about programming music, totally different from playing the instrument. Besides Vacuum, Programming music in BASIC must be the hardest way of creating music that I know. :)

If you ever released your tune in any way, demo or something the tune may be on the internet. I've found all of my old tunes even on youtube these days.

Well that's so easy, right next to the LCD Television right behind the love swing and the pantry filled with rhino phalluses. GAWD, it's like you have no sense of space sometimes. Just move the box of retarded aphids 3 milinches to the right and you will see what I am saying. Oh and be careful not to trip over the acid reflux calendar nailed to the Ottoman Empire which might be attacking the persian rug as we speak. Oh shit I forgot about the chandelier. Sia...SIA...SIA..come down from there..SIA!! ahh that stubborn Aussie. She never listens as well as that muted Major Tom urn filled with his ashes.

We could move the love-seat, but then we'll need another end-table, and we won't be able to find one that matches the old one, so the love-seat stays right where IT'S fuckin AT!.

We could try,.... JUST TRY, mind you,..... to put that corner-curio that holds all the miniature glass vaginas into the dining-room. Wild idea, I know, but then the love-seat can be slid down the wall to the corner, eliminating the need for an end-table,.... so,...... yeah, that's what we're gonna fuckin do.

So Now that you have been Gobsmacked by the nomad, let me let you turn the other cheek. Nice intro ;54 builds a nice tension. 1:52 certainly gets your attention. Nice prog synth BTW. 2:27 pulls the old pixies bring it back down trick. 3:16 is back with a vengeance. I think in the second measure of this onslaught you should have added some double bass drums before you went into the Rainforest Café theme. And It ends with me ordering the Galapagos Tortoise feast with a side dish of DoDo wings only to find out they are fresh out of DoDo wings (something about being extinct) so I settle on the dolphin fritters as an appetizer, My wife gets the Rainbow Warrior trout. And we end the meal with some fair trade chocolate that we made some children scurry for in Africa and sell to us .....at a (eye wink) Fair Trade price. ohh wait---the Long Pig is on special...hmmmmnnn.

"I think in the second measure of this onslaught you should have added some double bass drums before you went into the Rainforest Café theme."

Agreed. I always wish I'd added more detailed drums and percussion to all my tracks after I'm done with them.

"Galapagos Tortoise....DoDo.....dolphin fritters....Rainbow Warrior trout.....fair trade chocolate..... Long Pig"

I prefer Spotted Owl Kabobs and Snow Leopard Jerky, though we both know the best dipping sauce is made from a reduction of the tears of those scurrying African children. Mmmmm...... despair.
