Description : Update: Adjusted some volumes and remastered.

I had to respond to the 4-track challenge and here's my entry – a Transatlantic Experience tune called Music man. I wrote the music in Sweden and Jim Byrd wrote the lyrics and sang in in Philly PA.

track 1: Drums – apple loops
track 2: Bass – Kikajon (precision through a Marshall)
track 3: guitar – Kikajon (strat through an Orange–stack)
track 4: vocals – Tacatta

There's a full version of this new Transatlantic tune on the TransatlanticExp page here on looper. Have fun.

If you have time take a listen and give Kikajon some feedback.

Love this one....very simple but very powerful sounding. Great all around sound. Mix is perfect as well.

Thank you for the kind review. I actually think this simple version turned out better than the full version.

Thank you very much, I'm really glad you like it. There is a full version of the song on TransatlanticExp page here at looper, but this scaled down version came out nicely. Again, thank you very much for the kind review.

Hi Kikajon,

Very nice guitar sound. I like that particular sound for rock. The vocals were done very well too. Good vocalist and words.
I think another harmony vocal(s) singing along in the chorus would have been really nice and made a great addition. Altho I do realize a person is lucky to have even one good vocalist.

Perhaps a unit or a software pgm. that does vocal harmony's would work ....might be fun to try and see what happens.
Anyways, just rambling here, the song does sound very good as is.

Thanks for sharing,
Randy

Hi Randall. This track was made for a four track challenge, there is actually a full blown version with backing vocals on Transatlanticexp page here at looperman, the only thing to be completed is Allen's rockin' lead guitar. Thanks you for the kind words and feedback.

Great tones, love the crunch on the guitar. Really like some of those lyrics. I really liked the opening, you know really early on where the tune is going. I do think the bass could use a little more definition. It could be my head phones but it sounds a little washy? Great track.

"lets rock this joint till the dream comes true" - nice

Thanks for the kind words. The washiness can be the result of several things – the track is mixed with new headphones but I guess that the true reason is that I play the fretless bass with my fingers and frankly I'm a better on my guitar than on the bass. :D
Cheers

I think ZZ Top proved a long time ago that you don't need some big band to pull off great rock and roll. This track proves that point once again. Outstanding track. It has all of the essentials, great bass, great guitar, great vox, great drums, and a great mix.

Wonderful effort.

Thanks Bear, I'm glad you like it. The tune just came to me and Jim was exited and came up with the words and vocals in a blink. I appreciate your kind words and will pass them on to Jim.

A really outstanding 4-track attempt. I keep thinking with Rock n Roll, is more really necessary? Sometimes, yes - but to get to the foundations, less really is more.

This is great work!

Kikajon replied Unknown
Thanks for the kind words and I think you're right - sometimes fewer tracks lets you come closer to the core. But then again I really like the freedom that multitracks offer. :)

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 : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.

Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
