Description : I was playing around with some beautiful sax samples by Slap Johnson for a track I wanted to use in a contest of the Dutch Synth Forum. Added some sounds from Lush 101 and Nexus and it resulted in a down-tempo track (88 bpm, I don't believe I have ever done a track that slow :-)) about a specific recent victory.

I hope you like the result. Feedback about the production or arrangement is very welcome.

Thanks, Doc

Doc, this is really, really well done. If this is your first foray into down-tempo, and the result is this good, perhaps you should consider doing more :)

There is nothing to critique here, simply an amazing soundscape that blends the wonderful sax of Slap Johnson and the spoken words of Obama, with these wonderful synth sounds you created. Flawless!!

A big 10 out of 10 on this one. Beautiful work.

Hi Bear,

Many, many thanks for your beautiful comments. I am not sure however if I will be doning more stuff on 88 bpm :-).

You know, sometimes everything just falls in the right place. That's at least what I experienced producing this track. And of course with help of Slap, Obama and the synths :-).

I will print your comment and hang it over my bed!

well, I am not a friend of politics so I ignore the samples.

Away from those: That track 's smooth, the beginning reminds me a bit on a video game were ya walk through' some kind of (magical) cave. Later it is a really chilled track... also gotta love that distant sax.

thumbs up for shure...

so far~

Thanks for your feedback Ishimizu!

It was never my intention to make a political statement and of course I do not want to offend anyone with this track. For me it was just fascinating to see how some people are able to gave a speech that so many other are inspired by.

Haha, I understand your video game comment and take it is a big compliment :-). The sax I have to thank Slap Johnson for. Listen to his samples if you have the time (and if you have not done so so far).

Thanks for the thumbs up! It is appreciated.

Doc

Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.

Description : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.

Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.

Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."

Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice

Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...

Description : An older track from me (2008). In this new version I improved mixing, added more bass and reworked the piano ...

The title is Dora. Looperman does not allow titles with 4 chars so I inserted a space
