on whatsGoing by Spivkurl and promenade by promenade2239
Very Minimal and haunting but I could also feel at times this song could build into something chill-jazz. I like the processing on Pat's vocals and overall this is a cool tune Nice work Alex.

Hello Steve
Thank you so much for listening to my music and reviewing. I much appreciate the nice words!
This is one from 3 songs in total with Spivkurl over last few weeks. The basic idea contained almost everything: drums, bassline, vocals, synth solo even. I transformed it adding piano layer ('Prova' vst plugin) and entirely re-arranged it. You're right, it is sort of minimal music, not evolvoing that much melodically or harmonically - I am mostly only looping and repeating elements here.
I managed to upload other version for this song on sc for you to see my first take or original Spivkurl's project stems https://soundcloud.com/promenade2239/whatsgoing1-with-spivkurl-first-version - I removed delayed piano and the main focus is on percussions and lead vocal on the last version. There are different reverbs applied - I tried to create as much space as possible.
Thank you again. I am happy you liked the song.
Best greetings, Alex

on The Hellquake by Byleth
Dissonance is nice. Not a fan of the basic brass Midi instruments. The chorus is nice but needs some processing to give it a less MIDI feel. Drums are epic though. And this is very cinematic, strings and percussion are also perfect as well as that organ at the end. Nice modal scale you use to give us that Sino-Hellenic sound. Over all a very nice choice to listen too this evening

"but needs some processing to give it a less MIDI feel"
can you explain me that part in more details ? the fact about the chorus turn around the same thing is to create a adventure feelings maybe I failed that part :(

Im agree with you the outro is neat and was a idea of asidRn.

Finally thanks for this constructive feedback I did use all my dark force to make this one and I glad even with minor problem you liked it.

Since The Hellquake is my baby I might try to fix those minor problem about the chorus and "making less midi feel"

Peace from Byleth to you dear cruce :)

on Resinous by Evisma
First and foremost I loved "your" percussion work on this particular track. @ 1:45 that high freq guitar chorused sound sits nicely with the acoustic sounds. I think the tonal quality is just fine on this one. I did a simple homage to you and Ed (Tumbleweed) in what I found reminded me of both of "your" styles. I called it Generation Swallowed. But it's working title was called "Irregardless, you're not their there" but I didn't want to make you bleed from the nose and ears before you listened to it..only after you listened to it. (Tongue is now firmly planted in cheek.)

on bicycles in love by DanGoldstein
what an experiment. Sounds like you could build a tune off of that drone like sound and beats.
Curious to see how it evolves.

DanGoldstein replied 14th Sep 2015 - 10 years ago
That is good idea, cru. I think there is something to be said about developing fewer elements in different ways than adding more and more elements. KISS - you know what that stands for?! regards -

Good Work

Spivkurl replied 25th Oct 2015 - 10 years ago
Hey man, thanks for checking this one out! Definitely one of my best cover tracks. Skinny Puppy is definitely worth giving time to. Alas, this will be the second year in a row that I will miss their Minneapolis show. Last year they stopped plowing the highway, and this year we are just too broke to risk it. I really dig Ohgr's solo stuff though, every album has been excellent. I find that this version resembles some of the live versions of this song. For a synth based rhythm guitar section, I think this turned out pretty good... I'm proud that it wasn't just a guitar rompler. Thanks much for leaving your words!

Awesome kick ass intro, but the breakdown at 1:05 was amazing. Like an Electro Processional piece. 1:49 solidified this as an electro tune. Great Work

on Waves by LuigiCWB
This is nice, but it doesn't belong in ambient, more like R&B as it reminds me of late eighties early nineties. I could see vocals or a rap over it.

on Drop Like This featuring Laer by mudhoen
Very smooth D&B I liked this one. 1:33 is my favourite part as those pads are gorgeous in the mix. The arps create the melody in this part quite nicely. you could add a counterpoint melody as this section continues and that would be nice I think.

on undergroundsound dance by joecramer
I love the snap on the snare. good mix. Reminds me of the old mantra used "Rap music all night long" that was spoken in some dance tunes in the early nineties. Though this comes across as a much creepier version. Very Dark tune and I agree with you it's cool.

joecramer replied 10th Sep 2015 - 10 years ago
Nice to read that you think it´s cool. And yes, you are right this is a little bit dark, but in a way everything i made is a little dark ..... mmmmmm ......
There are a few "bad" things in the mix but nothing that cant be changed, it´s still in progress and some of the problems are just a result of makeing a downmix from all steems and all efects in one go :) tomuch for my old computer.

Thanks for your nice words Cru

stay tuned

hello Steve. Sorry for late reply!

Thank you for nice words and your continous interest in my looperman music. I truly appreciate that.

Glass of Żubrówka would be very nice. However, at the moment I am avoiding strong drinks as possible. I use mostly beer (a lot) and vine (sometimes). I am curious which Żubrówka - that one with grass maybe? That's cool. I must have tried it once or twice over 10 ears ago, unfortunately I am not very familiar with the newest Żubrówka products especially those exported abroad. Anyway I must say lately I had a unique chance to enjoy some very exceptional and powerful drinks based on traditional destilled alcohol made by my friend and that was very fine too.

Thank you again,
Alex

on MOVE ME by Livingsoulsdie
I love the first minutes shuffle sound. The production is grand and then we have the breakdown , with some killer bass build up to more step like sound. Then 2:15 comes at you like a pile-driver. nice. nicely arranged and thoughtful progression. 2:45 is a pseudo shuffle arp and bass with percussion, whip sounding. arp leads then just driving percussion until 3:43 it all comes together. This might be my favourite work of yours so far. you should be very proud.

on Jahjah and Rainso -Triple Double -Rainso Remix- by zacvoos
I like the fact that you took a simple electro dance music phrase and created many sonic variations of this one simple theme. There were elements of Dub-step, electro and just creative sounds and mixing. Sometimes it's cool to limit yourself to one chord or two or one musical phrase and just explore what you can get out of that sound. Bach did it, Mozart did it as well.

Thanks for that feedback I really like it.

Im also happy about your distortion opinion.
At least now im not alone !

Also, im happy to see than my description didn't freak you out from playing this im kinda sure some ppl thinks what the description says is true.

The phone samples are too realistic since I got prank myself when I play that music with my phone if I start when the ring ring is here I think I got a call XD.
