"Omniscient and omnipresent god who created "everything" would take away evil and unjustness when that very God created all of that in the first place."

It is believed in Christian tradition that evil first entered creation when Satan, once known as Lucifer (the greatest of all angels) decided he would rebel against God and His plan for the human race.

Maybe it would have been more concise to say God created "all things good" since God, being perfect cannot create evil. We through our own decisions can do evil(just like the angels), but that's a whole other story.

What this song is saying is that God will one day return to eliminate all the dischord caused by us and Satan.

I'll try and explain more later! Off to Nashville!

hello Steve.

thank you so much for your kind words. you can't imagine how much time and energy I put to reach out some excellent musicians from the site personally these last months. this one is simply a result of the work I am doing with ferryterry for quite a long time now. Indeed I started with only mixing his loops few months ago but this one is an entirely new and original project. I gave him backing track and he made great guitar recordings so I could produce this track. I am really happy you liked my keyboard work (I played bass guitar from the keys as well), drums are EZdrummer performances.

Thank you again for such a nice review.

All the best, Alex

You're absolutely right...for most people Ultravox is Midge Ure and the lads who were in the band at that time. I first heard of them when they released Vienna, but I was soon aware of the earlier lineup cause I took some interest in them. Great band they were in all of their incarnations...I'm really curious how many people on Looperman are familiar with them...I'm glad you're one of them:)

Thanks alot for this lovely feedback!

With much appreciation_____Orlando

Aw cool never heard that track before, thanks for the feedback.

:)

"Carnegiea gigantea"

Never heard that botanical name. Missouri has zero cacti, besides the prickley pear. We have a lot of Yucca, but they don't really earn their keep.

"how far you have come and how diverse your song-writing is becoming"

I started here a few months before getting my own DAW, and only then was I able to do stuff myself. My friend Jeff had Cubase, and then Garageband, wanted to play music and record, but our styles didn't really mesh well. I was more dark/melodic, he was more bouncy/bluesy. He is good at what he does, we just weren't the right mix, so when I could, I broke off. Turns out I was doing nearly all of the writing, and he was adding guitar. There is an unfinished project that he started a long time ago called "Smokestack Hero" that is still sitting in Dropbox, waiting for him to do some kind of update.

Anyway, I wish I had found a way, back in the day, to record myself. I would probably be quite a ways ahead of where I am now. Looperman has been a part of every bit of it. There are some tracks still on here from when I was playing with Jeff. You can tell I wrote them, for the most part.

Thanks for the listen, it means so much to have people like what I make. I'm pretty alone at nights, and the music is what gets me through each one. Your kindness means a lot.

Thank you, Steve...you're always welcome!:)

Cheers_____Orlando

Hello, Mr. C-Word.

I appreciate the kind words. I've been trying to spend more time with each track and not be too repetitive. More parts and layers.

I'm slowly learning how to integrate the six-string into what I do, along with the virtual instruments. I've been creating about 95 percent of the drum patterns lately, with only maybe one loop or midi pattern used in each track.

"complicated and simple all in one tune."

Yes, each line is simple, but it's finding several lead lines that work together that is tough. I'm not 'chords' guy, nor a rhythm guitarist. A "leadist" I be.

I hope all is well up north!

Evan

Yes I am haha! I very much thank you for your encouraging words. I appreciate it!

Thank you a lot Steve! I truly appreciate the nice words.
I want to be able to play keys in a more organized way some day - lot of work ahead! The new synth is very easy to play but there's also still so much of new regions to explore for me regading to synths and electronic synthesis in general. The 'underwater feel' at the end was achieved by manipulating the cutoff/resonance filtering on the main synth lead.

Thank you for some great inspiration on synths!
Alex

THANK YOU, Steve! I'm very happy to know you enjoyed the track. Your suggestion to add a "subtle gospel choir" is interesting. I'll bounce the idea off my co-conspirator. Thanks again!

Love & Light,

Mykael

Hi Steve

Mate thank you for reviewing this version, pleased you like the changes so far, will check out your link shortly, and try to see what you are saying about this one that would help...Don't know if I will do anymore just yet mate, have a tendency to screw up tracks lately when going back to change them, which I don't want to happen here, but will do more to it for sure, suppose helps when your head is in a good place, which mine hasn't been of late, so will definitely look again soon...Peace n much Respect friend...Mos...

I have trouble with chords and open, anchoring notes, so I wind up doing layered melodies and try to find interesting things that are different, but rub each other right.

Thank you for the kind words. They are appreciated.

Evan

Wow i should check my other tracks for comments too lol cheers mate :)

Steve

Thank you a lot Steve.

I much appreciate your comment on this one! Yes, in a sense it's quite experimental track but I experimented only with that slight reverb addition - I had to use it because I think that basically all very common ambient/surrounding daily sounds definitely appear as quite boring to the 'average listener' (but in fact they are far too underrated - they always stay moment by moment unnoticed and constantly ignored by average audience). Therefore I love them even more!

I believe that John Cage was somehow a very spititual guy, like Tarkovsky. His epic highway scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rswYl7RLRNE was a main inspiration for creating this recording.

I really like your current green avatar by the way. I had a green version of mine's as well (but sadly lost it). Everything is really turning green now (in a good sense) haha.

Thank you again and all the best greetings to you,

Aleksander

Yep....Already came to that conclusion, 12 different sounds
out of 4 pickups is not bad at all...A keeper for sure...

Glad you enjoyed it...

Peace...TG.

Hey Crucethus hello....

First of all in the "This Sound Bad On Tv" you know he used few of the sounds from my track so " I don't like the synths (orchestral melody)" I let you imagine my feelings

Second of all, thanks for this feedback For some reason I do not find the word to continue so i will stop this reply right now.

Peace

hi cru - that's true about genre. changed it. stretched this one out a bit since you last heard it. so you know this myth apparently! very cool. thanks for stopping by. need you right now at the site. peace.

Thanks...I will keep that in mind
