Nice filtered intro, :48 sort of a reggae like bass line. so that's where the money went? Into that gorgeous piano lick. 1:30 serious strings. I like this new approach. 1:53 is all serious up in da face! 2:24 nice synths, I like this section. Then you faded it out. no this needs to continue on in like a S.Nomad length song. Waaaayyyy tooo shorrrtt! This is a really cool song that you need to keep at my friend, such potential.

"so that's where the money went? Into that gorgeous piano lick."
About twenty minutes went into it. I'm trying to play all my virtual instruments with the actual keys on my midi controller, instead in finagling with mouse and piano-roll. It means more to me if I actually play it. I just wind up cleaning up the timing.
"2:24 nice synths"
All guitar distortion. No synths. I really don't like the distortions I have because they are all digital. They all break up the same and that is kind of more buzzy than meaty. I've have guitar called synths several times. They do kind of sound like synth buzz.
I've been working with this and it's getting longer. I'll update sometime soon.
Thanks for the listen, kind words and advice. It will be taken.
Way to go Steve, That intro is mysterious and compelling. I wasn't expecting vocals then and that particular type of vocals over a chill beat and chord structure. But it works well. One hand hitting the other in a repetitive motion is the sound your deserve for this work.
Cru
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
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
Cru
"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"
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.

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 -
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.
