Description : Sounds somehow familiar? It should!! One of the most talented musicians on Looperman (not to mention how great person he is), well known as Tumbleweed, was kind enough to let me toy with his recent masterpiece "Memories And Ghosts" which I instantly fell in love with. The original track is basicaly intact...there was no editing of any kind. I only added a good portion of violins to the arrangement as well as some very discreet piano and synth sounds .If anyone would like to know how to ruin a masterpiece, here's the ultimate recipe!^^....All thanks to Ed! This should be called "With The Kind Permission Of" but that's already a title of some Jethro Tull track and I really wouldn't like to mess with Ian Anderson! According to what people say, he must be far less generous than Ed is!^^

Got goose bumps when this started, wow, not often that happens when listen to piece's here, and that was just the intro...Man this is so beautiful and haunting at the same time, excellent guitar work, loving the string pad...actually totally loving this whole piece, can not fault in any form...I know I'm always going to hear something amazing when coming to your profile...Brilliance with yourself and Ed combining...Impressive work...FAV big time...Peace n Respect matey...Mosaic...
Wow...what a pleasant surprise! This is relatively old one so I didn't expect any more noteworthy comments any more, but I was wrong and sometimes is nice to be wrong!:)
Thank you so much for this generous feedback!
Of course we are all familiar with Ed's talent so i thought i'd tune in to this one. I can instantly hear tumbleweeds guitar sounds shining through. His stuff always reminds me a little of Chris Issak.
What you've done with the atmosphere is great. Those pad sounds really compliment the guitar and give it your own flavours. It's kind of Pink Floydish in it's trippyness.
A very good track to kick back and relax to.
Absolutely brilliant mate.

Taking one of Ed's works and feeling the need to add to it. That's a bold move, my friend. You executed it well, and stuck a perfect landing. I believe we all benefit from this. You, Ed, and each of us that have had the pleasure of listening. Good work.
It wasn't just a need...it was like falling in love with a piece of art, followed by desire to make something out of that love. I'm glad that the result is pleasing to many people. Thx alot for your positive feedback...much appreciated:)
I love seeing 2 members of looper-man touching each other with there musical abilities. Your violin is haunting and I love the dissonant layers you add. Ed is a consummate musician and you could choose no better than than him to add to his beautiful melodic compositions. Kudos to both of you
Steve
Thx alot Steve! I think I'm simply plugged in Ed's way of musical thinking, which is pretty rare situation in my life. A precious coincidence I would say:)
Great work Orlando!
Impressed how you enriched and respected the work of such great guitar player. Hats off!
And I totally agree with you: "dubious spots" are required in a masterpiece :-)
Ciao, Domenico
You have been "touched" by the production of Ed, and You have complied the "theme first", of this track .... and this accompaniment is all at your honor .... This is a very neat design and quality, as we would like to hear more often.
You are here in excellence ....
I have heard the original and your version. You added in a good way to the masterpiece. For travelers like me the additions you carefully introduced share another side of the scene we first saw but the story continues. It sounded natural on your end with this mix kept the original speaking strong. Good work and thanks for sharing. Peace.
If there was any objectivity in music,or art in general,(but there isn't), and if we would assume your words to reflect that objectivity, then I could have said that my goal was reached.:)^^
Thx alot for listening and posting a positive comment!
never heard the original but everything on this mix is beautifully balanced. the synths are warm and the violin line really enhances with a counterpoint on top of the mix. it's a nice concept. i'm about 2:58 in now. i like how you take the mix down here for a little bit - some transperency - some breath. very rich beautiful sounds. nice mellow licks. thoroughly enjoying it! crazy piano lick at the end! congrats to both of y'all!
Ah Orlando....you have raised the haunting chill 100% with that smooth violin that you play so well and with feeling...great job and many thanks for your good company on this little musical journey...couldn`t be better.....Ed
Ed,Ed,Ed...that percentage of yours..ahhh...I will say nothing on this one...I just know you are the only genius behind this chill...and I think it can always be better...we are just humans, yet with the potential to improve ourselves day by day...
Anyway, 100x thanks for having you on my musical journey!:)
Hi Orlando,
Have listened three times now, and nailed, well and truly are the words that spring to mind, you have not compromised the original track in any way, and the violins and piano sit and blend so well, if any critique, just the change at 2.37 is maybe a bit sharp, but that is fleeting and probably just me and it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the track at all. Great job Orlando and can I have your recipe!! oh and no need to worry about the great Ian Anderson, I believe he is a pussycat these days!!
Very best wishes,
Mark/Larry!
Hi Mark,
I always look forward reading your honest comments, so welcome again mate:) You have very good ear, but you will have to talk to Ed about 2.37 sharpness over left chanel. It didn't disturb me personaly, on the contrary, I pretty much liked it, so I took no steps to possibly lower it in the mix as is the case with entire original.Everything is intact and the basic track is presented within it's original mix. Maybe the only critical point to me is at around 1:42 (that one goes on my account),where the change appears to be a bit clumsy. I was tempting to correct it, quite a few times, but in the end of the day I kinda liked it and I said to myself that every decent artwork has to have it's dubious spot.:)I think even Ian Anderson would agree, about whom you might be right...he must have become more humble in his ageing times.:)
So, thanks alot again for positive thoughts, my friend, and see you around soon..
Well, sorry Orlando - your recipe doesn't work - it's not ruined at all. :)
On the contrary, t's even more of a masterpiece after you added your ingredients in to this piece of art!
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 : This improv recorded a few years ago powered my interest even further than I expected.....recorded using tc electronics pedal and tascam studio recorder and a Fender Squier tele electric....
Description : This description comes with a bit of delay due to some mysterious purposes..hehe..but so it happened, boys and girls, that this is my second colab work with no other than Mr. Tumbleweed The Great (Ed Cunningham). He sent me a piece of music in a raw and unfinished condition, based on acoustic guitar work, supported with splendid percussion and some tasteful orchestral pads. So my task here was to add some of my own trumpery (haha) and to wrap all up into something what could be called a "finished product". As in the previous offer I granted my strings the dominant role, with viola taking the primary spotlight instead of usual violin which dominated in some of my previous works. Next I included some more piano parts than I usualy do (making Ed happy), some brass for the intro section, and even some bass and electric guitar touches. Sax has also been considered, but just didn't happen (lazy guy ^) , but I deliberately left out any kind of distinct synthesized sounds, wanting it to sound as classical as possible. I hope it turned out nicely in the end, so have a listen and any kind of comment would be appreciated.:)
Also, hat's off to Bear for snuffing the Celtic influences (but probably not knowing who is behind this) and all my thanks to dear Ed for sharing his treasure with me !
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 : This track describes a magical state that I experienced a long time ago. Maybe you also know the feeling that you can't describe something like this with words ... luckily we have the music for it!
Description : So this is my first Chill Outish track. I was just trying something new and then suddenly this was a thing. Everything you hear is home made. I hope you enjoy. - Mr. Spook'd
Description : That's something i worked out lately
a swing 3/4 hip hop Chill ?? Don't know how to describe this kind of music.
Anyway VOICE NEEDED
So if your interested to try something contact me
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...
