excellent tune, melody rocks, I love how you change the modal structure on the 3rd and 4th measures of every Stanza/ Ask someone to sing (female vox) and the vocaloids could be nice b-ground, but do create some space by adding a touch of verb or shimmer on it and widen that track (relay). good mix , sounds like an even eq spread
Ahh the mysteries of creativity, I have learned a long time ago, that sometimes when it doesn't work, another approach with no criteria or design unlocks the creative mind. I always liked Brian Eno's Oblique strategies can also unglue a stuck muse. Cards that will say write a song with the color blue in mind, can really make you reach deep into your creative mind without added pressure of results. So nice tune my friend.
Cool, I'd never heard of those but I'll look into it! I am a huge fan myself of John Cleese's book & video on creativity. Not there's a specific strategy I wouldn't do, but just to remind me that the frustration we feel is shared even by the greatest creative geniuses.
Maybe Vocaloid could work for you. Or take this vox you created and treat it with Valhalla Supermassive or Fab's Volcano. But I like the idea you are pursuing.
thanks Steven, hope you and the Mrs are good, the intro is epic, the rap had to be good. i done a community track before this, if you get five https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/241088
thanks for the stop and listen mate, its appreciated
I feel the bassline drives this one. I also feel some 70's Quiet Sun ethos as well. Awesome tune mate (as always) Funky vibe, Vox is really good mate! Made my evening!
Yeah it all started from a quick bassline. I recorded the bass loop, added some quick funky drums on the electronic set, some piano, and then the vocals basically wrote themselves and suddenly I had a song. Sometimes life is easy and you don't need that much effort :)
Minunat! I like the complexity in the counterpoint of the composition. When I was 14 I used to try to compose on a commodore vic-20 using basic-language to create sounds. This is a master class in Midi! Thanks
The end is never nye, it's only the doomsayers that believe that. C'mon, I have a world of new sounds for you to make mate!.. It's never over! It's never done!
I think Manuela makes some good points on this one. My suggestion is to take the BPM down 5 to slow it down to a better groove. There is an anxiety about this tune that could be relieved by that. Also some more percussion ideas. like when you drop to the synths only, use a high hat to continue the idea of the rhythm. I would look to some of the techno producers back in 2000 who were played at Tresor. There minimalist style melds with what you are trying to do here. It's very good.
It must be almost christmas getting these great tips and ideas from you and Manuela. I usually set my BPM around 130 and this one is 135 BPM. I like the jumpiness it creates but i definetly agree that overdoing it turns up he level of anxiety. I will go and try to play with the bpm some to see what fits better. Some extra percusion and hats are always a welcome addition if used well. Because i like how the drums turned out I kept some room for them to run almost solo. But again you are right about keeping the groove. I am very happy with your opinion. Love to learn from people like you!
Sometimes the best work we do is when we have an emotional goal, as you have presented to us here. The song is sublime, and the mix is great. I really like your vox treatments on your voice, it fits your style well. I could hear you play this live and extend the instrumental part as a coda at the end, sort of how Roxy does that on "More than this", or Mark Knopfler with "On every street". Otherwise Brilliant and my thoughts are with Cindi's recovery, Your a good friend to her mate!
Thanks Steve!
Yeah you hit the nail on the head as usual. I'll work a bit more on the bridge (wherever we are) and the ending (I'm here for you) but this'll do for now :)
