Description : After spending all of my 2 days off of work recording vocals for this track I have finally given up and decided just to post it without them. I just can't seem to sing the pitches I want to consistently, and I am very obsessive about quality in art works that I take seriously. It was meant to be a song about addiction and the chorus was going to start with "This is our last date my poisonous friend". I decided just to use the idea for the title, even though it doesn't have the vocals. If anyone is interested in trying to sing it, I would be happy to give the lyrics to you to give it a shot. Just ask in a review and I will put them as a reply. I chopped up and edited a drum loop off of an old Data Becker sample CD I bought from Comp USA, 8 years ago, when I first thought about trying to make music but just didn't take the time to learn to do it. It has the record player static in the loop, it is meant to be there, I liked how it sounded for this song. Other then that I did everything else in FL Studio 8. I hope you enjoy it, and sorry for failing at vocals for this one, it would have been spectacular with them.

Sure, be my guest. I am not sure if the lyrics work well, or if they are very good. It was one of my first attempts writing lyrics.

Here is a link to the lyrics:

Best of luck to you. I would love to hear it if you can make them work.

My favourite track of yours with "Parasomnia".Think this one has a Depeche Mode feel to it which,I hope,is not an insult for you.My fellow loopers said everything:great prod,clever arrangements and inventive melodies.I might give a try for vocals
Cheers

Even though "U" might not have completed this work the way "U" wanted2... It'z still a very dramatic sounding track that getz your point across !!! Dig the cascading chordal melody line !!! Soundz "Great" !!! Kelley K

Thanks for the review Kelley. I am glad that you thought it conveyed a message even without the vocals. I wish singing was an easy thing to master, because most of the tracks I have made would be so much more complete with vocals. I will keep trying though.

I'm an obsessive high quality kinda guy as well so i know exactly what you mean. This does sound like it has vocals in it, and I'm sure someone will one day come to you and sing the lyrics for you and it'll be a hit. Just be patient.
There's a lot of potential with this, so just let it play!
Keep it up!

Thanks a lot Gsusfrk. I am working on getting better at singing, plus I have a couple tuning programs to cheat a little. I may actually be putting some real vocals to something before long, I hope. Thanks for the review.

Your music is great! I know that's a generic understatement, but its how it goes... Depth, cycle, rhythm... (and just the right amount of spookiness.. :S )
Definitely a fave. ... I hope you put the lyrics out sometime soon.

I really enjoyed all of the pieces of this song. There is a soft crackling as if the track is burning as it plays, the grinding bass line keeps it tech'ish yet the ambience is calm with a slight hint of something lurking around the corner! A great mixture, not many songs do this well but you have pulled it off nicely!
RayKoefoed
RayKoefoed replied Unknown
Thanks UnconciousPilot! Now you know why I enjoyed your that latest ambient track you posted. We seem to have kind of the same taste for ominous sounds.

wow ... another work of art!!!
a flawless track with a strange but beautiful and calm atmosphere ...
reminds me of the work of Bill Laswell or the Grassy Knoll sometimes ...
excellent!!!!

peace, rei

oh, only one thing: it's not techno at all ...

RayKoefoed replied Unknown
Thanks very much rei. I definitely trust your knowledge about the different music genres. What genre would you suggest for it?

I believe that most of my influences since I was a kid have been primarily alternative music. I would probably think most of what I do would be of that category, but oddly, it isn't one to choose from.

Description : Ok...here it is! Another colab with maestro Tumbleweed! Ed provided the unfinished, basic track...I composed and recorded the long intro using different synths and then added piano (well to the fore) and some brass arrangements along the rest of the track (no violin this time...hehe) and then did the final mixing to wrap it up as it is presented now. I hope you will enjoy it and we both appreciate your listening time and your valuable comments:) Otherwise all thanks to Ed!

Description : Dark, slow, ambient, cinematic jazz with funereal piano turning into something much funkier, psychedelic and beautiful in the second half. Out of the darkness and into the light, you could say. Instruments: electric guitar + bass, lots of synth sounds, including a horn, double bass, another big legato bass, pizzicato strings, two types of piano, a heavily delayed slide guitar instrument, zither, synth arp, one brushy drum loop, kettle drum rolls and 4 programmed acoustic drum kits. This is quite a special track for me and is only the second I've put in the cinematic genre. The more you listen, the more it changes (it even has key changes) and the last three minutes are really quite far out and should probably be longer. Best track I've made for a few months. Interesting thoughts and reflections appreciated. Free sex for the best reviews...

Description : So a new track for everyone. Im pretty impressed by this one, and would even place it higher than one of my best tracks, Angel And A Demon. However, I'm trying to decide whether or not I should put vocals to it. I have some in mjnd, but idk if itd be better to leave as is and keep it instrumental or not. Take a listen and let me know! Also, let me know if anything is too loud, still working on my mastering.
