on industrial sleigh ride by DanGoldstein

Clearly has an industrial vibe to it. Very trippy then comes a very dissonant funk sound. your choice of chords structure is most interesting. I liked this one.

i am really glad you had a chance to check out the track, cru. it is about as deep as I have gone so far with the percs. the "industrial" genre designation was pretty much after the fact as i still have no clue about genres, let alone control over writing in them. thanks VERY much for the positive review.

on Nu Jack Acid by FreeRadical

Perfect in every way fav'd and downloaded (TY) awesome beats and a sound that reminded me of the summer of love (U.K.Version)
Great job
Cru

FreeRadical replied 2nd Jan 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks. I think I need to adjust some of the levels in the second part but other than that I was pretty pleased with how this turned out.
Thanks as always for your support.

on Falling Ft Chaucie aka BoleteSoup by SeriouslyJoking

Love the phased synth sounds with the vocals. You have come such a long way from when you first started. I think you have more eclectic tendencies in you then I do now...and it does you well. This is Brilliant. its futuristic and retro at the same time. It is Lagom.
Awesome work. I hope you win the challenge.

on WHATS RIGHT by OPENMINDSDB

This is my style. I am a huge fan of Bryan Ferry's work. On his last album Olympia he had a tune remixed called "You can Dance".
Tim Roe, and DJ Hell had the best ones.
here are the links.

on Stringor by Byleth

After my first listen it reminded me so much of a really retro synth sound that was pioneered in the 70's. Almost like Ultravox! (with John Foxx) not (Midge Ure) But with a psychedelic twist like the band mushroom performs.
links will follow.

Very different and creative.
I enjoyed it a lot.

Byleth replied 20th Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

Hi Steve,thanks about this comments and those links.I always love to discover few elements of my track are already on some great professional songs like Ultravox or the band mushroom performs. That means for me im in the right road to be better than I am at this moment.

Just for fun there are the link of Stringer:
https://soundcloud.com/anthony-grenier-5/stringer

please take note im way better now XD. Hope you undersant why I do not uploaded this on looperman (could ruin my popularity if I have one).

on Ghosts Of Glencloy by Orlando51

Intro Blends into the main theme extraordinarily well my friend. This is just an awesome collaboration. I had a DVD from a few years ago called True North, and it was spectacular scenes of the north wilderness with amazing new-age music in the background. This track my friend would belong on that DVD no problem whatsoever.
Great work my friend.

on Unholy Revenge Of The Fallen by alexisescalona

"This track teleport you to an age where many people were governed by unholy kings"

Not much has changed then has it? I think the emphasis needs to move away from Holy and onto Human. Then and only Then will be understand how we should treat each other. Musically this is very good.

Very cool bro-step

on Soft Panorama ft planetjazzbass midisparks by promenade2239

first part is awesome. Bass line is awesome and the solo is fun. solid presentation. I would agree that it's weather report territory.
Second song is good as well. nice bass line work at the end to finish it.
Solid Work Alex.
Steve

promenade2239 replied 18th Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

Thanks a lot Steve.
It was great to discover Brian Ferry! I love music from 80's (I'm 30).
The combination of PinkFloyd 'echoing' and funk-disco synth sequencing on the 'Limbo' is excellent.

Thank you again for the inspiration and your interest in my music. Alex

on Daddy Was A Thug by NuriB

I have always wondered how many hip hop artists know the true meaning of the word Thug and where it comes from, and how sinister it is beyond what you may think? Nice work BTW

Ett språk är aldrig nog

Hej!

Ursäkta! This is such a nice tune, it has such minimalist elements and yet such a cool riff almost like a guitarist would compose.
great work.
Tusen Tack!
Ett språk är aldrig nog ;-)
Skål!

aelmen replied 14th Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

Hej!

Tack så mycket! Helt rätt! Ett språk är aldrig nog.

You are so right! I have my old acoustic guitar in the corner of my "studio". I really need to get myself an electric guitar and plug it in and start composing "real" music :)

Thanks for your comment!

on Update3 Dance With You Ft Noemi by SeriouslyJoking

you did a fine job arranging this one. vocal filter is interesting on the pella, sort of a distorted feel. I might want to back the vox down in the mix just slightly and bring up your wonderful arrangement. Also later in the mix I would think about adding some more complex percussion. But truly a nice piece of work you have here.
Steve

SeriouslyJoking replied 9th Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

Hi Steve!
I'm still holding on to my new me and working strictly on this track to get it finished.
And I did just the thing with the vocal you suggested and turned it down a bit so it's not as much in your face as before...but is it too quiet now?

I still have to redo the vocal line from start and try to EQ out the distortion and get back all the power in her voice and all the other great stuff which are now drowning because of the poor vocal mix.

Also missing a proper bass line here but is it really needed when the guitar takes all the space?
About the more complex percussion - yes, I'll look into that also.

Just redid the intro and created an outro.

So I guess I'm almost finished with the first stages now!!!

YEY.

Thanks for listening, Steve and take care!
Cheers/ SJ =)

on human 80s remix by larrybarrow31

Well that brought back some memories.
First of all nice work. I like the gospel version with a touch of rap. great job.
The Human League is is one of the reasons I got into synthesisers "Don't you Want Me"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPudE8nDog0&html5=1
After there next EP and Album they were floundering and were looking for a hit song.
2 former Members of the Time (MInneapolis based and Prince related), Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis had formed Flyte-tyme music and had been shopping there song Human around the music world for about a year and had quite a good reception to it. The Human League management contacted them and they agreed to produce the Album, include this song and write two others for the album that would be called Crash. The Album is very different from any in the Huma Leagues catalogue but to this day they all credit this one song Human for saving there careers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1ysoohV_zA&html5=1 (Human)
Human was the first song that introduced me to the concept of 9th chords which are like a Minor-Major 5 note hybrid chord that sounds so lush when used.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jBwWP0YMws&html5=1 (Love is all that matters)
The twelve inch singles of these songs had instrumentals, dub versions and accapellas. I remember using the beats by splicing together tape so I could use the drums for my own early songs.
These guys along with Prince, Roxy Music, Queen and David Bowie are my early mentors in how to write a song.
This last link is a mashup of Human and a Madonna tune.
thanks again for the great memories this Saturday.

on Limitless - Eighteen ft Courtney Hyan by Eighteen

Welcome to the upload section of Looperman. All art from artists is appreciated. Kind of Haunting Vocals. reminds me of Sixousie Sioux in some ways. This is good though different and i enjoyed my listen.
Cru

Eighteen replied 30th Nov 2014 - 11 years ago

Thank you :)
I've taken a quick listen to Sixousie Sioux, and indeed the vocals seem a bit alike.

Thanks for the feedback :)

on The Ultimate Age of EDM by cg5music

I feel like I am being whipped by my speakers as I listen too this. Not that that's a bad thing (or is it..very confused at the moment) . The production is Grande and you captured this element of EDM very well. I could see this being very big on the dance floor. But myself as an eclectic musician I would want to think about how I could keep that element of bass & drum and add some melodic element that is different from all the rest of the crowd to either stand out, or lead the pack in musical innovation.
Nice Work Overall.
Cru

on Stay featuring Farisha Haque by RichieWinn

Richie, this is kick #####. I agree with Planetjazzbass on this one. When Auto tune (not a fav of mine) is used right woith a good singer the sounds can be very creative. Par Example Soshy with Timbaland and Nelly Furtado with "The Morning after".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25LBTSUEU0A&html5=1
And Soshy without Autotune.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnvJA_BlgC0&html5=1
When Auto tune is used with a great singer in a good arrangement to me it's like a good use of a Vocoder. This tune has all those elements and I am very impressed with everything about this one.
great work
Steve

RichieWinn replied 29th Nov 2014 - 11 years ago

Hi Steve

Thanks for the comments and the links. If you have read the other comments posted here you will have noticed I appear to have opened a can of worms with the auto tune thing!! Thanks for your support. Glad yo liked the track.

on fusion7 ft ferryterry Janis71 by promenade2239

Like the distorted Rhodes in a rotary cabinet sound at the intro. Very smooth sounding . Did you play the keys on this one? The time thing is weird on my browser as well? I liked it very much Alex smooth and velvety yet with that distortion it has an edge. nice work.
Steve

promenade2239 replied 29th Nov 2014 - 11 years ago

Thanks Steve. The Rhodes sound is from 'MrRay22' plugin (as always) with some effects (lots of compression and some distortion, a bit of the modulation effect as well). All the keyboards are performed by me on my tracks indeed. Not really good so far - I just started to develop some more stylistic playing recently. Still not there. It's because I do not have enough time for practising.
The other synth lead is from 'MinimogueVA' plugin - I like the sharp lines it does. It is probaby that sound you are referring to.

Really glad you liked my work - I was inspired by the bassline from some StaticNomad's song that popped up the other day and the entire composition was developed from that.

Thanks again for your time and nice words, Alex

on Waiting by Jeffiedillard

Beautiful song and vocals reminded me a bit of an old Heaven 17 song (chord progression) Geisha Boys and Temple Girls.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edgjl5zPW6g&html5=1
These boys who arose from the Ashes of the Original Human League created a bi-polar album that had synth songs like this and soul like songs called (White Boy Soul, @ the Time)
You have managed to synthesise both styles in an amazing tune.

on Go With Me ft The Starring Creeps by RealProblemShuckers

Sort of like..how can I put this eloquently. Restrained insanity.
So put together sounds with that subtly mixed screaming vox is so perfect that perfection has overtook the bounds of the sane. Creating an Insanatriptasticlymodalthang.

Nice work, pop from an older era where music like this would be better appreciated for good song-writing and arranging.
I liked it. But alas I am old and the POP world has become about eh eh eh ah ah ahh and no solos....sigh.
good work my friend.
