Description : I'm not an expert on gospel music, but this track reminded me of the Blues Brother's movie where Belushi was in the church. It's very energetic with lots of things going on and of course, lots of drums! Jazz fans will also like this track. Give it a listen and PRAISE THE LORD!

Superb!
The stop sections starting around 1:45 it's my favorite spot.
Great bass (the sound is a bit too "even", almost midi but I totally love the licks), super piano.

What to say on the drums: they drive a lot! And we have also some "short solo" moments to show us who the boss is ;-)
Outstanding! You are a real professional drummer and a complete musician. Hats off

Thanks again for sharing your music with us.
Ciao, Domenico

PS: hard to believe, coming from a guy who always mixes the bass too high, but the "bass-phrase" at 4:10 is a bit too loud (and a bit too "midi-sh"); only that segment.

Hey, Domenico,

Thanks for your kind words. This one was fun and it lent itself to lots-o-drums, which you know I like! On the bass volume at 4:10, I purposely boosted the level because it was a bass solo. If you notice, I did the same with the other sections with solos.

Cheers,
Scott

Great description of the track, I totally agree. I feel like I just went to Vegas and saw a cabaret show. Damn this is pretty creative and so much fun to listen to. Great job on the mix, lots going on and everything sounds nice and clear. Excellent job Scott!

Scott excuse me for this qustion , buT how should I recognize gospel music ( good to know so these are called gospel..thnX ) from these southern sound ?
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 13th Jan 2014 - 10 years ago
Behnam,

Please don't recognize this as gospel music. I don't want to give you the wrong impression. It is more a musical style, rather than a sacred music form. it is in no way intended as music to worship God!

Wow...How do I answer a question like this?!?

My apologies for this confusion,

Scott

ScottB55 replied 13th Jan 2014 - 10 years ago
Dear Behnam,

I'm not quite sure how to answer your question, since our worlds are so different. I don't really want to get into our individual theologies, since I'm sure we cannot agree, but I'm sure we both believe in God. In our country, gospel takes on many styles. In this track I wasn't actually trying to present an actual 'gospel' but more of a style of music that is reminiscent in a gospel sound. It's very hard to explain, but the southern Baptist and the African American churches have an up-beat style of gospel music.

If any member can help me out here, please do, since I am lost!

Cheers,
Scott

Bass line and tone is fantastic, as well as the guitars. This is like Prog Gospel. Drums are very Portnoy. Snare sound is a bit muffled sounding. If Liquid Tension Experiment did a gospel it would be close to this. Love the ending. Very nice.

ScottB55 replied 10th Jan 2014 - 10 years ago
Hey, thanks allot, Evan. That's a good description for it, Prog Gospel! Thanks for the Mike Portnoy reference. Quite high praise. He's one of the greatest. Yeah, the snare could be stronger, but it was already peaking at this level, so didn't want to push it to overdrive.

Cheers,
Scott

Work of a real musician - the details are so crazy. Real uplifting funny bluesbrother - good job, not my music, but makes me smile (and i dont smile that often if u watch my avatar, hehe). That transition around 3:20 is great built up. And the mix is real outstanding!
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 5th Jan 2014 - 10 years ago
Glad I could bring a smile to you. Actually, it's not really my style either. I'm more of a jazz and funk guy, but my training in music is quite genre extensive, that sometimes earlier training just kinda makes it's way into something I'm working on, so I just go for it.

Anyway, appreciate your comment and kind words.

Cheers,
Scott

You ended my evening with a smile!

Well this is a crazy bit of gospel-jazz Blues Brothers madness that would go nicely in that film. Extremely energetic and good for some silly dancing and for soundtracking some farce scenes.

They're mostly not my kind of sounds but I totally appreciate all the work that's gone into it. Also, very impressive for one guy doing it all(just you, right?) as it has a lot of very natural, unsequenced feel.

Actually, this is so damn energetic that it's probably too long (haha, that's coming from a guy who makes 18 minute tracks) so this is definitely one to completely tire people out on the dancefloor.

When are you going to do some more spaghetti Western?
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 4th Jan 2014 - 10 years ago
Thanks, SN. I appreciate your listen and comment. I did use some loops with this one, so not all me. To be honest, when I do a track I don't usually have a particular genre in mind. I'll get about half of it done, than it begins to take direction of where it's going. Than when I determine what it's sounding like, I further that direction. This one started sounding like a gospel holy roller type sound, so I said, 'who am I to argue' than took it there! Even when I work with Franco, Ferryterry, I'll hear something he didn't and take it the way I hear it, and it usually works out to both our liking...but I digress.

If fate takes me towards another spaghetti western track, I'll do another...Who knows.

Cheers,
Scott

Description : Do not freak out just because this is jazz! There's also blues, rock, funk and a little hip hop in it to break up the deep, chillout jazz sections - gets particularly rocking then funky at the end. Main bassline (the track's foundation) is recycled leftover slide resonator guitar parts detuned one octave to make a slide bass sound. Also features: piano, violin, hammered dulcimer, organ, ethereal pad guitar, bass guitar, jazz/blues/rock electric guitar and multiple programmed acoustic drumkits. This was difficult to make at times as I thought I needed more leads parts eg from sax or trumpet. But I'm happyish with the end result. I expect very little interest in this as it's both jazz and long jazz. But it's also an unusual type of genre-mixing jazz. So, leave your thoughts, good or bad, if you like...

Description : This track contains only free loops from Stayonbeat.com and several loops from Looperman artists (listed below). I "made a promise" that my next track will be use a lot of jazzy loops - well, i done with this track, for the great sadness of jazz lovers or experts i think - i fear they will never forgive me. :) While my ISP launches my internet out of the Earth system for a long time, i had to face the fact that i dont have too much downloaded jazz loops on my computer, so i think no wonder that this one is sounds like if i smoke some marihuana while making it. But hey, who cares, i like the result - it reminds me the (maybe only) really funny episode of "Breaking Bad", where Pinkman uses some heroin and flyes up with an idiotic smile on his face - that chapter is priceless. :D
I dont think this one needs a vocal, but ofcourse you can use it if you want, and as always, just write and i will give any support as i can. Any feedback welcomed too as always. Enjoy! UPDATE 2015.10.24.: improved audio quality - lower lows, higher highs. Now in 256kbps!

Description : I created a hip hop groove in Logic and decided to duel some Saxophones. I am playing the Baritone sax on the left pan and the Tenor Sax on the right pan.
I added some bells like a boxing match bell to give it a fight drama feel. The hip hop track itself is dope to me. The duel is cool too. Who won?
