Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : An easy listening tune I guess which is another collab with maestro Tumbleewed....Thank you Ed..:)
Description : A test drive..:)
UPDATE - 20th Apr 2017...Not anymore..-:)
Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...
Description : Another collab work with maestro Tumbleweed is here. It's a bit special this time in multiple ways. I guess this is the very first time when I didn't use any of my usual instrumentation when collabs are in question. As you probably know I'm talking about strings and piano. No matter how you prick up your ears you won't find them here. Instead , you will be witnessing the bold move of mine, which was simply joining Ed in his otherwise "untouchable" teritory....playing guitars, Yes you got that right..:) By untouchable I mean his most high standards he sets with playing his tour de force instruments. I'm just a humble servant here, playing mostly melody lines (plus some embelishments) which I composed for this piece. It's also the first time when music comes very close to a dancing style of music....this time in classical spanish/latino fashion, but not exclusively...there will be always mixed ingredients when a naughty lad like me is on board. In spite of phletora of acoustic guitars this might sound pretty minimalistic and I hope it's for the better. My sincere and special thanks to Ed for letting me contribute this way on yet another exciting journey.
Description : Many of you know well that Tumbleweed & Orlando collabs are pretty much well established tradition within LM society by now, and here is the newest example to reinforce that tradition. It's probably the last this year (yet never take it for granted) and I think it has (although not particularly intended) a bit of that seasonal celebrative nature, thus fitting quite well into this festive feel of December. Despite providing it's share of melancholic tones (you can bet who is responsible...haha...) it's a quite happy tune overall...and it doesn't bite, so you're all most welcome to listen and comment !... As always my sincere thanks to Ed !
Description : Dear folks...to put it short and simple...this is essentially Ed's (Tumbleweeds's) tune thrown into dangerous waters of me noodling on this time slightly distorted piano ! Hate it or love it...we love you all the same !:)
Description : Intro hits hard. Heavy guitars and lots of different parts. Guitar, bass, 3 MIDI kits, a few loops, and a stretched outro that brings everything back down at the end. No synths, samples or anything not played by my fingers. Lots of quad-tracking heavy rhythm guitars. Peaks and valleys throughout, with a middle section that is very swampy in atmosphere. Over-driven bass guitars and cymbal-bells sprinkled hither and yon. Could add more,... could move on. I'm pretty happy with this one. Had to upload at 192. I invite your honest opinion and critique.
Description : OK, I finally managed to find a song name, so here it is. But the genre is still open. WTF is it? World? Trip? Trance? Rock? psychedelic? .
I started this song with the wahwah background track, I think I wanted to go in the triphop direction but when I played with it and tried out things I added some Tabla sounds from the available sound library of the cubase software to it, just to get a feel for it. It sounded right somehow, and so it developed from there. As before, we did the work on wikiloops band section: bhunt1 (Brian) on Bass added his track, and rp3drums (Raymond) on drums (one straight drum track, and one para-diddle track). I then added several more guitar tracks.
So I would be happy to listen to your comments and advice, and if I get a good suggestion for name and genre I will change it. Cheers, TG :D
Description : Piano and viola played by denyjanuary of looperman and vocals "written" and performed by myself. This has very limited post editing and mastering, and is mostly ad-libbed. Not much of an idea of what genre it would fit in, so I've just chosen Cinematic.
Effects on the voice are supplied by Izotope Nectar 2, and specifically the 'Airy Lead' setting with a touch of harmony.
Description : cubase 5, sample, loop mash, groove agent, mpd 18, strum electric, trillian....leave comments please
Description : It's a rock composition I wrote many years ago on Guitar Pro 5.2
Recorded the guitars and bass there and brought it to ableton live and joined drums and other samples.
It's a 120bpm agressive triphop beat with jazz elements.
Description : A fat groove journey incorporating hip hop, jazz, rock and more. Chilled out and rocking, with some big riffs and basslines. The main instruments are saxophone, piano and cello plus some resonator guitar and banjo. Sax is the only instrument not played by me as the parts here were contributed a few years ago by a guy I know. Anything that sounds like distorted guitar is actually distorted cello. Loads of that, including solos, in the second half. No electric guitar or bass guitar. Not much synth work but there are two synth basses and an organ. Otherwise, it's quite an acoustic "played instruments" kind of sound. Lots of drums, including loops, multiple programmed acoustic kits and drum hits. I know Radiohead have an excellent song called Everything In Its Right Place but I still like my title and there's a story behind it (nothing to do with music). Interesting feedback appreciated. Do you have any favourite or least favourite sections? Details are appreciated...
Description : Here is my new genre and I call it 'electrocellometallo', or just 'cellometallo' though this is also a dance track. My aim was to make some dirty groove metal without using any guitar. Instead, all of what sounds like heavy guitar is actually distorted, bowed cello (yes, it's my cello playing). There are also no bass instruments (eg bass guitar, synth bass) as that's cello, yet again. I only played one proper cello bassline - the rest of the bass is incorporated within the dirty cello riffage. Other instruments: Fender Rhodes (clean and then distorted) a few synth arps, a synth pad and soaring, sample-based strings. Lots of fat beat drum loops and two programmed hard rock kits. I enjoyed making this but let me know what you think. Interesting and intelligent analysis appreciated. Humour is also permitted...

Not usually the style of music I tend to create, but what's a producer if he/she doesn't branch out in terms of music. It actually came out really nice though! I'd assume the genre is EDM, but I didn't really have on in my mind while making this. It also has a story that I pictured while listening to this, but I'll let you guys create your own stories :D Heavily influenced by the glitch mob and their crazy electronic vibe. Anywho, hope you enjoy! Much love! Oh. P.S: if you think you could add vocals to this be my guest! Just let me know in the comments :D
Description : A special one. Smooth and haunting. I hope it can make you feel something (: Much love guys!
Also collab portion of this is mainly looking for singers or what not that could go over this :D Thanks!
Description : Looper combo consisting off tumbleweed,jacobcorey, lendylen and danke. Enjoy.

Description : A track i just created tonight. now I gotta go spend time with my love. :)
Description : The spring is in full motion over here and I guess it helped me quite a bit to complete my part of the job on yet another exciting collab with maestro Tumbleweed. Most of our collab works contain at least some aspect which demonstrates something out of ordinary one or another way. This time we got a peculiar combination of mysticism and merciless attacks of soapiness (my bad....haha)....So let's listen to hear whether I'm right or not!....:) As always on such occasions, all my thanks to Ed !
Description : This is my first production in a couple of years good to be back on Looperman. This is a smooth jazz, chill, thinking song that features acoustic piano as the backbone and I have constructed 3 synthesizer riff and solos to reflex the Thinking aspect. So if you have had a bad or a great day take 3:43 seconds to relax, reflect and when someone ask what you are doing say "Just Thinking"

Description : A new light rock song that I wrote and recorded, nothing fancy. I played everything but the drums and sang on the track. Could probably still use a little work but I thought I would share it since I am sick of messing with it. If you like it feel free to download it. Thanks, Kyle
