Brilliant intro, lovely ambient sounds. like metallic and pad;like at the same time. Then a dissonant string hangs above the metalicpad swirl, interluded with bass clangs. You sir have not only understood what ambient is really about, you have added to the fine small distinction of ambient artists who get it right! hats off to you! Oh and I may have crapped my pants.....:-(
holy cow! crucethus - thou praisest too much! LOL. really appreciate your enthusiasm for this one. ambient is fun. i guess this creepshow worked out pretty well. thanks again very much. see you round the cyberhood. Dan
Freaky good, some dark disco going on here. Maybe we could name this genre Litho-Disco. As usual your vox shine for me, nice bass line. The synth line at 2:20 is nice. Love the ending. Great work Spiv. Studio is almost finished here in my new location so I can remix again. will be contacting you soon.
Steve
Hey, thanks so much my friend! Means a lot to me! As I said to MYXD, I wasn't thinking about offering a remix kit, but since two of my Looperbuddies are interested I will probably be giving it a try. I was trying to impart a little disco vibe, Litho-Disco...that's funny! I appreciate the supportive comment on the vocals, I found my vocal chords were a little weak on this one, but I just kept on keepin on. I can't take too much credit for the bass line, save for the arrangement and mixing of it. Took me a few tries to get the ending sounding right, it needed to be balanced. Thank you very much for the listen and comment! I will contact you when the remix kit is ready!
I like the percussion and the moving bass-line. I must agree that the synth sounds might not completely fit this tune, But it's a real interesting song nonetheless. And I enjoyed it just the same.
Ok right at the 30 second mark. Go into Acid and make the measure margins to 64th or 128th notes. there you can manipulate the vocal loop to be just a hare forward. I hear the vocals starting just a little bit soon. Play with that and you will see (hear) what works for this track. It's a great track, just needs the sync of the vox. I think the tempo is ok for the vox, just needs to fit the beat. Your gonna get it right soon, I believe that!
Steve
Mate thank you so much for your help with this one, myself I'm so over it now, was liking track when first started on it, but now welllllllllll.....Ok I have lined up vocal as much as I could so now should sound better then before, should now be in sync, MASSIVE RESPECT FOR YOUR HELP STEVE...Peace Mosaic...
Ok now that you have synched.. there is still a disjoint. try delaying the vox slightly to to the beats as it still sounds just a hare off. what loop program are you using? FL or Acid. The vocals sound almost a slight bit rushed to these ancient ears and I think if you adjust with just a hare trigger to the future they would match better. Please let me know...this is good work and has great potential.
Steve
Thanks again for giving feedback one again, really appreciated, I use acid pro7 for my works, because of my lack of loops for this type of genre, struggled to get loops all at same tempo, guessing that is why you are picking up what you are, used a total of 9 loops to make the piece, that's including both sets of vocals, so as I said a simple track, will try and add delay when not working to see if that helps, guessing still sounds okies, but like you said could even be better, thank you again for feedback, that is what makes us grow and become hopefully better at what we do...Any thoughts on anything else...you can contact me via tab...Again many thanks for your help Steve...Peace Mosaic...
This is like a Scottish anthem from a bass perspective. Nice work. Always moving providing some interesting bagpipes to add to the flavour, and then it ends. too short.
A Scottish anthem? But I'm Dutch/Irish!? What do I do now?
The "Too short" thing is an issue I've had lately. I get something recorded that I consider good, then get nervous about adding something to it in fear of marring it.
I really like what you are doing here. But My spider sense tells me that at some points the rhythm is hurried in comparison to the vocals. Maybe you would want to re visit the timing of the vocals to the beats.
But I like where you are going with this. It has great potential.
Steve
Thank you so much firstly for the feed back, and review, track has been a right royal pain in A to do, struggled to get sound was after, in the process forgot to adjust tempo of track, so thank you so much...had track at 120bpm when should have been at 128bpm...So should sound heaps better speed wise now, would appreciate if give your thoughts now mate...Peace n much Respect...Mosaic...
I would be interested in listening to a version of this with out the male vocals. And maybe with a synth or guitar lead over this sound. The chord progressions are nice. The choices of synths are excellent. reminds me a bit of a throwa away song from Roxy Music called Always Unknowing. the vocals are not needed for this tune at all.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w2SHKuEwJs&html5=1
BTW I make these comments as a fellow colleague. You have done an amazing job at refining your looping abilities and I am impressed at how much you have improved since I first heard your early work. Don't ever stop!!
Steve
I like the contrast of piano to stuttering sound at 1:45, that’s a real nice play on sounds. Good tune overall. Very Midi instrument oriented. You have used Midi to it's extreme indeed.
Steve
Just for the record, I didn't use Midi to record this, I would have gone mad then with the amount of editing I constantly would have to do with this slow pc not keeping up hahaha
Percussion and vox reminds me of Bear McCreary and Richard Gibbs work on B. Galactica with there usage of percussion and leitmotif for each character or situation.
I'm not sure if your familiar with early eighties rock like (Pat Benatar, Quarterflash and Spider) This song reminds me a bit of all 3 groups. Good work. I like the disjointed rhythm with the guitars interplaying with the vocals.
Steve
Thank you for the review and comment, yes an old fart so know then well lol...glad you enjoyed piece...Just sent you mail via contact...Peace n Respect man...Mosaic...
Amazing sound you have going on here. I love the craziness and all the changes, keeps the listener intrigued the whole time. Great stereo separation and production. I just picture some underground party in Bangalore where this is being played.
keep on
