I'm hearing some StaticNomad in this! Good job in putting some Static flavour in to your work. I probably couldn't do it.

Take care Alex!

Thanks SJ! Actually I am using the same drum software (EZdrummer), that's why it may sound quite similar. Also I tried to use drum kits fully but of course it is still a track freely inspired by his music.

I have new track - a cover of crucethus' 'Bedroom Games' http://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/164702 which is also a piece 'in the style of another looper'.

Thanks again for nice words. All the best, Alex

:) first i believed it could go into something StaticNomad stuff, then i changed to Mr. Funktastic makes a StaticNomad track, then it goes, for me, into something just groove that sounded very well.

You done a good job here. And i dont think that it sounds like someone else stuff. So you did a real good job.

stay tuned

haha. yes, it is really a track inspired by StaticNomad's music. you're right, it's not a copy nor a parody but just music incorporating maybe some other, new elements for me and also my another try to make a challenge track...

Thanks a lot for listening and your nice comment! alex

Idk why but it reminds me of a scene from an old CSI episode haha. I feel like some of the sounds could use a little more EQ to crisp them up a bit, but overall, I'm liking what I'm hearing.

thanks for the advice. Im using a lot of eq effect but my productions are not commercially-oriented at all, unlike yours. this composition is intentionally way too complex to become ok-commetcially-sounding just by tweaking some eq's. but I'll keep that concept in mind anyway when working on future songs.
the nice thing about this track is that you can listen to it very loud and still enjoy the natural dynamics of the instruments. basically the track presents the way I listen at the moment.
try work in reverse, whatever that means.

btw care to elaborate which sounds 'could use more EQ to crisp them a bit'? Otherwise your comment will sound generic, kind of very annoying looperman every-day comment.

thanks a lot for listening and some nice comments. A.

This is wicked cool. To be played at a small get together amongst good friends to vibe out to. Great work! Love the drums!

Hi MrA,
Good track: you have a nice touch for soft atmospheres.
We see some elements of MrNomad here, but you really need to go for the full 17 minutes :-)
I like a lot this "make a track in the style of another" thing: when a great musician like you joins this type of games, very interesting results come out.
We can clearly see the aspects of the "reference" musician's style which resonate best for you and how they get "digested" and "processed" by the musical side of your brain.
Beside the "game" comments: this is a superb rock track.
Liked.
Ciao, Domenico

Great work on the drum and bass

and sometimes tunes don't have genre yet ... maybe you just created one let's say "nothing rock" :)

"Does 'rock' mean only fast and loud?" ha ha, that's pretty much what I thought when reading the comment by SN! I grew up on mellow groovy psychedelic rock like this. Reminds me of some earlier live recordings from the likes of the doors or zeppelin and similar groups. Nothing wrong with that. I really wish you were more open to the possibilities of digital processing, as your songs could be taken to a very different level. I know you are going for specific vibe though, so I won't obsess over it... :) I enjoyed listening!

haha. yes there's some literal quotation here from one of your earlier comments on my other 'rock' track. sorry for not giving you the full credits! I really liked that comment. haha. but seriously I only tried something new here - my 'drumwork' here was inspired by SN but I do not think I was going intentionally for any specific 'classic rock' sound-image (I like that 'sound-image' term). there's some long, quasi-melodic delays and it is about 86 bpm and eb flat minor...
thanks a lot for your nice comment and listening to my music. A.

Thanks for being inspired to do this. It's never too late to make a track in the style of another looper.

Unfortunately I'm at work right now so can't listen to this now but very much look forward to checking it out when I get home.

So, for now, all I have to go on is the waveform. You've put it under 'rock' but I have a strong feeling it's probably quite chilled out, as is almost all of your stuff. The waveform doesn't look like a loud track with banging drums or guitars. More like a chilled out thing with good dynamic range.

Anyway, I won't have to guess when I finally hear it so a better review is coming soon.

Thanks again.

Thanks!

I decided to put always a 'rock' label on all of my upcoming looperman tracks anyway. just for fun.

waveform does not make any sound. any sound perception is very relative.

the drums here are much more realistic, with all the harmonics preserved. not so 'compressed'. it makes them sound more powerful.
that may be also the reason for the waveform shape. I love that kind of waveform, it's just pretty.

'do nothing' is a refference to 'non-duality' stuff I was exploring for almost 2 years. something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ6cdIaUZCA

I can't play guitars anyway. Does 'rock' mean only fast and loud? lol

Thanks again for your message.

Description : "This Is the Reason" is a heartfelt gospel praise song about God's unfailing mercy, Christ's sacrifice, and the transforming power of grace. The song reflects on the many times God has rescued us from the world and reminds us that Jesus' death on the cross is the reason we praise and honour His name in every season. At its heart, it is a testimony of gratitude, redemption, peace, and hope.

Description : Scally Milano type beat
dark trap C minor 130 BPM 1:52

Hard-hitting kick, meaty overloaded 808 pushed straight into
the red, and a dark lead synth doubled an octave higher on the hook.

Inspired by the night vibes of Scally Milano and the gloomy,
dark panel apartment blocks of the Leningrad Region, Russia.
