So I just listened to this FINAL version. I never got a chance to hear the original as you pulled yesterday. I really like this. It's dissonant and atonal in some parts and that sounds awesome to my ears. I think it's perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. the levels of piano are perfect, the synth washes in the beginning and gently spread out throughout the mix are nice. I just had my wife listen as well and she was impressed too. Your developing an ear for the dissonant and in-congruent in music and it's making your musical choice sound more and more sophisticated each song you produce. But in this it's also the less is more approach in the beginning that makes this interesting. well done bravo.

Thank you Steve!!
Really nice to read this, I don't think you missed much having not heard the first version - I only added some piano (after the encouraging words from Ed) and repitched some of the guitar/bass and flute sounds. Oh, and added some percussion in the very poor first drum line in the beginning (thanks to Behnam! ;)). And took away some of Kyle's vocal. Hey...that maybe was a bunch of things in the end anyway.
That track from Talk Talk - now I'm stuck! I 've been listening to it over and over and over again since yesterday, don't Think I ever heard that one before. What a tune!
My music is nothing like that but I'm hearing some minor similarity with those songs from Brian Ferry though.
Say hello and thanks for the listen to your wife too and have a good day!

Excellent job. I was thinking about one of Ed's comments about listening to Sade and I was thinking about there song "Cherish the day" what I love about that song is that the bass drops in the second verse. I think that’s what this tune needs. a cool moving bassline from the second verse forward. I love how the percussion in the beginning fools the listener into thinking that song will be something else and then you bring in the mellow 7th chord pads that make this song sweet. Great job
Steve
Love the trance work..the complextro side is well done as well. My only suggestion is the reverse cymbal lead in could be made a little more interesting to keep the flow of the seperate sections.
Ok so I finally figured out something for this piece. https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/153099
La Chant De La Solitude.
It's sort of trippy and very different from what I thought I wanted to do, but that’s creativity. I may also do a simpler version with just piano and make it sound lonelier.
I am interested in Bears rendition as he is a great musician on this site, we have a great respect for each others work.
ciao
Steve
thank you Steve .
i can't wait to hear what you've done.
sorry for delay .
i'm going to listen track.
yes , Bear is one of greatest musicians here.
and one of my fav composers beside you , Behnam
and Tumbleweed .
nice to see your underestanding and prof attitude and respect for him .
i really appreciate you .

Love the Rhodes intro. The bass is nasty and dirty on this one. I see you have centered the drums in the mix the piano is a nice accompaniment and then becomes an electro piano. then the Mix widens perfectly with Sax and Piano (Grande) Nice stereo effects (white noise) (2:38) Sax and Pad end this nicely with some percussive effects. With a fading Piano.. Well done song evokes a nice mood.
Steve
I'm Listening to this (BTW great job) and I am thinking this is all in one key and one chord structure (Cminor).. If you could learn to create a chorus.That utilizes minor 7ths pads you would appeal to a larger audience. Like from CMinor to Ab major to Bb major and back to Cminor. BTW I love to solo in Cminor and Fminor so I may just record a wah wah g-tar solo for you one of these days if you like.
Steve
I am originally from Long Island and used to do pop electronic music until I had a colleague who used to frequent the seediest most debauched clubs in NYC and gave me a mix-tape of that music. changed my out-look on music. I moved with my Wife to her home-town of Montréal 4 years ago but still carry that deep-house attitude to my music and mixes and love it!
Glad you are apart of looperman
Steve
Wow I hope you realize what a breath of fresh air you are to this site because no one on here has done the re-creation of tribal house from NYC from the late nineties like you have done. Bravo
Most appreciated
Steve
And to all the people saying this is not rock. this pulls back to the early days of rock-pop sounds of the fifties and the revival in the seventies. Ahh I love nostalgia songs like this. The influence is definitely rock & Roll. Great Job Bear
Steve.
Love the Intro! I agree with you Patrick..The Deep of the song is the emotive qualities invoked by the minimalist sounds of analogue synths..that's the trick and the secret to a good deep house tune (classical sense)
good work !

i really apppreciate your attempt , but as i told you it was by far different with what i meant to be composed for my song.
anyway thank you very much again .
What a voice(Best kept secret in C&C music factory),(reminds me of the days of youth) great mix. Such an old school feel and minimalistic approach I really liked this!
Steve
Tres Bien, I love how it builds on itself. Nobody uses those chorused guitar sounds any-more, and that's such a shame because they are hauntingly beautiful. As this song is beautiful especially at the piano break at 2:38 that is nice. Put me in a great mood this morning. Great Work Steve!

I apologize if I seem rude, But Imagine If I wrote a song for this site and I claimed it had Thors's Personal electric approval, Or Yahwehs' special blessing, Or Allahs intimate Fatawah, Or Mother Natures oblique platitude...or.. or it Resonates the earth’s Frequency. It might seem a bit much (arrogant) and a bit over the top. So I just point out the obvious flaws in logic (maybe to correct you in thinking you might have all the answers for us)..that is all...as I said. good chillout music...Nice musical composition...not vibrating any special energetic resonances that you can't measure my friend.
Peace and good meaning.
Ahh that You-Tube video made me laugh... so your a conspiricy-nut case then instead of a New-Age Nutcase.(or both) I am a rationalist and a science lover. show me evidence..not circumstantial and fantasy and paranoid delusion. Oh BTW the earths frequency would be lower than human ears perception. http://science1.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2001/ast19jan_1/
Peace
Is it chill...yes
is it a nice composition...yes
does it resonate the earth's frequency...no
As a music piece..it's very nice.
As a piece of new age propaganda..well...it's just that.
Steve
Hey you.
Just an Update. Struggling with your first song for a nice mix. But found a Muse in the second song. Will be uploading later this evening and will call the song Fesaga förspel. Which mixes your voice and string sounds over a massive Swedish house style mix with loops from Misgote and many more. It really kicks and I think you will like this.
Steve
Steve i'm thankfull for your attempt but to be honest they both were by far different with what i expect from your musical level and class !
i hope you don't mind if i'm honestly saying that i didn't underestand your music composed for my acapella s .
of course probably that's my problem .
anyway I'm a composer bymyself too , and i tried to compose something by myself and soon you'll hear what i have composed for that song of mine .
i really appreciate your attempt Steve .
thank you very much .
