I like this track. I think opening the possibility of any genre appearing in one track is exciting and refreshing. This track shows your ability to take a simple cord progression, make it complex and lavish then break it back down and bring it back home.
Thank you!
Actually, i think this is one my most complex works ever despite the mediocre number of applied loops...Only thing made me a little sad the sound quality of a few loops (too noisy). But still one of my fav. I love the sad-funny mood coming out of it. :)
Btw, sorry for the late reply...
People call this sort of track busy. Busy sometimes can gloss over little inconsistencies. Acknowledging the "too much" point of view, I think it is a fine example of using many loops: Putting them together seamlessly. It is always fascinating to me to listen to a track where loops are incorporated together, presenting a feel of a real band playing. Cheers, vic
Thank you for the kind words, Vic!
I can absolutely agree with you - when you work with (mostly random) loops, there will be a lot of inconsistencies, imperfections. Mostly the most i can do against them is to fake them or enhance them ("it's not a bug it's a feature!")... Who can look over these anomalies, will enjoy my tunes (mostly). Who can't... Well, he will not. :)
This tune is one of my best i think, the only thing i sorry is the really different quality of the used loops.
Even if it is quite busy, I don't think it's that horrible. Quite entertaining to listen to haha. The only thing that I find that sounds too out of place - as others have mentioned - is the guitar haha. But besides that, it was a very entertaining listen :)
Wow, this is an ambitious song. My guitar parts sound a bit out of key though a bit flat.lol There are some very cool parts to this song, I really was digging the part about 55 sec where the strings come in, I replayed that part a dozen times.
There is a lot going on here and you seem to have been given some input. I recommend simplifying the song and just picking the best parts out and focusing on those parts. I have to hand it to you though, you used a lot of people's loops, pretty creative on that level alone.
Thanks, Wayne! Yeah, i see your point. Your guitar loop are really out of the tune a bit in this track, and that part are a bit "flat" or "rough" compared with the rest, this is because i find it interesting to leave that part a bit simple, made for a contrast against the more complex other parts.
I think i will make a shortened and "harmonized", less chaotic version of this somewhere the mid-range future, when it's already "out of my ears", but that will be another song i think (like an nitro and outro version for something).
Somethings were just never meant to go together...
Like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole, you can
try to do it all you want but it will still be wrong...
In this case sounding wrong, I use to play a tune with My Friend
George and the Parliament Funkadelic, it was called "If it don't
fit don't force it" a lot of stuff sounds forced here...
Never the less it's a Mammoth project you've taken on here, hope
to hear it again when it's completed...
Thanks for sharing your opinion!
I did not think as a mammoth project for this one, but im happy, because i especially like those tracks where i get contrary opinions (however, i'm always just hope that the positive comments are honest, and not just an gentle "a bit lame song, but why make him sad?" :D).
I think this means that the track is really "craggy", someone can hate or love it too because its features, can generate feelings - which means a lot to me.
Hey, dude, this is very cool! I'm enjoying it very much, and I'm happy to have a loop of mine as a part of it. Silverman's comment seems to stem from a lack of listening to jazz, as often in jazz the different instruments will have their moments throughout a song, which is also a characteristic of much fusion. You're right, those guitar parts are quite cool! Such an upbeat pleasing track! I really like it. Definitely a fave and download (thank you for the DL)!
I think there's to much going on.
Plus a lack of structure which you can get away with often but I don't think you have in this piece.
It seems to go from one instrument to another like every instrument is going to get it's individual turn.
Sorr to be a little negative on this one.
Lol, you dont need to apologise for your opinion. :)
Im always be glad to get any critics (with concretums ofcourse, because i cant do anything with "this is shit" likewise posts), because from those i can learn other people's thoughts about what i made, and sometimes i can learn from them. When i post sometimes for other people's tracks, me too trying to point to the "errors" of the track from my aspect.
And this time I even don't feel your post as a negative one, despite that i don't feel like you about the structure (but true, its very loose even with my standards too :D).
As i write in the track's description, i made this one under the influence of a really cool japanese anime called "Durarara!!" - i finish with the full first season (25 episodes! :D) over the weekend, then start to make this one at the night instead sleep. :)
I can't really explain without the knowledge of the serie but i try. Its all about atmosphere. In this anime, there is not a single lead character, it's about several (about a dozen) very different and really weird people as protagonist, both of them with own individuality and stories (a lot times crossed, ofcourse). I find it simply sensational.
My concept here were especially what you wrote : to go from one instrument (like a person) to another, and bring them his individual turn (story) and to put them (somehow :D) to a loose structure. Originally i designed as a short track around 3 mins and without any repetition of parts (and for a bit more dinamyc sounding), but i find the guitar parts so cool that i can't resist to repeat them. :)
This chaotic style and discurvise structure is very close to me anyways (actually, i find the only difficulty with working loops is to fit very different cool full "parts" together for a structure), but this time i unleasheed it. :)
Still, i can't look at the song with "neutral eyes", to me, the track is really brings back the anime's atmosphere (despite the fact that the show's official music totally other styled - and lot more structured :D) and i'm very happy with the result. I feel it as a very addictive, sweet and easy song. :)
Maybe a few months later me too will find it less impressive (this occurs a lot times with me after 6-12 months) and will see the flaws too.

ps : sorry for the WOT. :)

==============
Inspired by a track of Pseudoble. I was noodling along to his track "I wish I didn't know" (which is awesome) and had the words "Snow in Athens" in my head. This with the smooth jazz/fusion atmosphere led me to this track with a sort of Steely Dan feel.
Description : This track is built around the repetitive lead guitar line which I have previously incorporated as an intro for the rocker track "Sweetheart Runner" by LM user TinyFinger whom I have helped in arranging, mixing and producing his song. This extended session was a good oportunity to test some new equipment....Thanks to Tiny for not being mad about it...:)^^
Description : I had to go in on this track. This is a future bass, electrofusion song. I posted the full version here full the Looperfam because you guys give me sooooo much support. I can never thank you all enough.
Description : Psychedelic blues hip hop with lead banjo and acoustic resonator slide guitar. Acoustic drum kits, fat basslines, soaring filtered strings, some strong Eastern elements (from guitar and strings), some dub and funk from the bass and drums and a bit of rocking electric guitar. Very unusual piece of music and a trip like no other I've heard. Some of it is like a dark, deep Southern delta blues track over a hip hop and dub backing. All played and programmed by me, no loops used.
After a quite turbulent long travel we’ve reached a totally unknown planet which is mostly covered with clouds. As we pass over it we can see parts of rivers through the clouds that come out of the dark rocky surface in some places. So the whole scene is alternating textures of white, dark gray and silver flashes. Unfortunately there’s no chance to land anywhere so we just pass, wonder and travel on …
Description : A spoopy song, early for Halloween. This was a collaboration with Micky, who did most of the work.
A musical realization of a poem by Thomas Hardy
Idea: Spearcarrier
Voices: Spearcarrier & Micky
Music: Micky
Genre: We don't know yet. Suggestions welcome. LOL
Description : Real acoustic, electric and bass guitars played by me. Drums are loops and programmed MIDI. Played piano and synths. Lots of layers and delay. A gated moog, organ, my recorded finger-snaps and a reversed bass guitar effect that sounds like throat-singing. Three movements, divided by moments of calm. Thoughts and feedback are welcome.
Description : Return To Forever was a group that started my love of fusion jazz and this is my attempt to cover their 1976 track, “The Romantic Warrior. I know I wore out several inceptions of this album from LP, cassette and 8 track. The original track was over 10 minutes long, so I abridged it some. Hope you like and download.
Description : A moroccan traditional song from 70s titled "Toudart" which means "Life" in Moroccan berber/Tamazight, revived and composed in a modern way, I used minor2go's piano loop which you can hear on the background, everything elese is from me.

That guitar part is intentionally such as it, like a flick. :)

This is a very good track with a hint of jazzy feel.
Very good
Well done.

My only heartache is that, one of the guitar loops are mono...
