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
Cru
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.
Cru
A whole note B quarter C quarter D quarter D quarter
C Quar D Quar F whole E quar D quar C quar D half_Quar E quar is your melody for the chorus.
Nice tune.
Vocals would be nice on this one.
Steve
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.
Cru
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.
Thank you Crucethus for your comments..I am working on a Chillout track with percussion in it hope you will like it when I upload it..This track at this time is done for me..Thank you for your nice comments..
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.
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.
Cru
Thank you man your opinion means a lot to me man as I also listen a good deal to your toons to. I think it's my fav track as well. This track gave me that. "Aha" moment, I learned a lot making it and hopefully from here out my track will be better sounding.
Sweet Sweet Jazz.....Perfect compliment to my glass of Cidre de glace this evening, enchanting, acidic and bubbly yet refined. Am I describing music or a riesling? Damn fine listening in these old Bose speakers tonight. Great work guys!
Cru
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.
Cru
I feel infected. ;-) The mix is very nice, I like the distortion, it adds to the ambiance. The phone ring samples are a nice touch. You have described this and executed this perfectly. Nice Job Monsieur
Cru
Thanks god someone did write a comment here !I was kinda losing hope.
"I feel infected" :)
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.
let me be the first to congratulate you on a job well done, and you should be proud. This mix is well balanced and a very good listen. Downloaded (tks) and fav'd
Cru
Pet shop Boys meets High N er G movement of the eighties. Nice work, good use of vocals. awesome stereo mix of the synth stabs. Myself I have been awash in eighties nostalgia listening to early Dead or Alive lately. So this is a welcomed listen.
good work.
Steve
Ahh that piano loop. I have used it as well and it's just brilliant. You have made a beautiful interpretation to lead to dubstep. good work. I agree the end needs to be fixed. Awesome production BTW.
Cru
Somebody had a little too much time today ehh? It gets breathtakingly scary in the second half in a brilliant way. Those synth stabs and orchestra hits mon dieu! This is what nations need to play too each others militaries at the front line to discourage them from fighting.
great creativity, I think you have found the trouble you have been looking for!
Cru
Thanks dear Cruce, hope you know why I put this on weird XD
the Stabs sounds is from Mortal kombat and the stab melody is from a deep place in my brain I have to admit this is pretty confusing having those persistent stabs and the Nyan cat melody in background.
I think this will be the most overpowered weapon to force them to listen this days and nights could make them crazy.
And I was a bit raging about Razing Time concept so I made that one to relax XD.
So I played this last night and needed a few hours to absorb what I just listened too. Fantastic work. The arrangement, the instruments the production, the composition itself, the instrument choices all brilliant in there execution. The sustained low piano notes lend a nice ominous effect on the tune. I liked that as well as the space (rotary?) Hammond organ. Reverse guitars reminded me a bit of Phil Manzanera and your Bass was sublime and funky. Fav'd and downloaded (TY)
Steve
Hey Steve thanks man!..I'm not sure exactly what vst's Zappo uses with his midi keyboard,though I'm thinking your spot on with the Hammond rotary....I always really dig his instrumentation especially the horn parts he plays,you'd be stretching to improve on them with a real horn section!...thanks again for your kind words mate..cheers Dave and Detlef. :)
There is an almost zeppelin (acoustic) like quality to the opening of this. Then it goes into "riverdance" territory...not that's a bad thing. It certainly got my Irish blood boiling for a fight. I like the guitar treatments at 2:00 on. Good use of delay as well. 3:00 on has a repeating synth sound that is cool and dominates the extro until the flanged guitar sayonara!
Nice work overall. made me want to eat some Lucky charms but dammit, I live in Canada and they are not in my local grocery!
Peace
Crudirection
That is one of the finest things ever said about one of my measly tracks. Thank you. It's not mandolin, but it's some pretty high acoustic stuff.
"3:00 on has a repeating synth sound"
Those are guitar notes that are processed on my pedal, doubled, then one double was lowered an octave. I like how it worked. I also liked how it sounded reversed in the outro.
No Lucky Charms?!?! That is criminal! Not a huge fan, but liked them when I was a kid. I buy "Total" now, but if I do want something sweet from the kids section, I get "Honeycombs". Loved them since I was a kid,(Thanks to my Great-Grandmother).
Awesome...You captured the ethos of a traffic jam perfectly. Back in the U.K. in the late seventies, Many of the early synth pioneers doing music like this were drawn to themes of Cars and dystopian urban features in there music. Many read a book or two from the author J.G Ballard. http://www.jgballard.ca/
He predicted in the future people would get so bored with technology and the dystopian environment that they would get sexual satisfaction from participating in car crashes. This struck a chord with those early Synth Pioneers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo7ONZlN5Zg&html5=1
Awesome Work Pat.
Steve
Hey Steve, thank you for the kind in inspirational comment! You have made me curious to experience JG Ballard books, though my book reading back log is a far more serious situation than my songs or my electronic projects... haven't even finished my father's book yet! It's interesting to me that many people are hearing vehicular traffic in this song. There was absolutely no conscious effort in this direction when working on the song, and in fact the title was the last thing to appear, as was I believe the sample in the outro referring to a traffic jam. It's more about the two sides of the idea; people getting in eachothers' way; and people stepping aside to allow for advancement and progress. I'm sure you understand what I mean. Thank you for that song link as well, I think I may have heard this a while back. Cool stuff. I don't think I'm bored of technology, but I am sick to the heart at what people do with it. People no longer need to think or lift a finger, people don't need to learn. If their phone can't do something for them, it doesn't get done. That's how it seems around here now. I can see the appeal of a car crash, but I'd rather cause one than be in one... ha ha. Thanks for reminding me of this performance... Love Peter Murphy, and of course Reznor! Talk to you soon!
