Description : [Used to be "motherDrug"]

this is a cover of a burt bacharach/elvis costello tune. it was written for an amazing movie about songwriting called grace of my heart. my producer loves the song and thought i could kill it.
...jurys still out on that...but ive really grown to love it. its the first time i ever heard myself belt something out since i did musical theatre in highschool and college.
it felt good.

hope you enjoy!

Kill it? You OWN the song. Flawless delivery very nicely controlled. In a word moving and that has to be the goal with music, to elicit an emotional response. That's a favourite from me :)

Your producer was right....

you killed it..........

He's got great taste in song choices and you could sing street names and make them sound good.

Your control, inflection, dynamics, perfect pitch and that buttery tone....well, simply sensational. Not sure why you aren't famous, but if you ever need a Bus and a Bear to drive it, just give me a holler :)

Absolutely stunning performance OD. I'll shut up now and hit the replay button. Hope the holidays were great for you, and here's to someone discovering your amazing skills in 2013. All my best.

Hey there stranger!! for starters,your hats are super crispy, and I love that, but that wobble takes the cake....i love how you experimented with it on a hip hop track...the melody gives you this dark demented slightly middle eastern feel...but that wobble is what i find intoxicating, almost hypnotic...Im diggn this one....

im actually in a state of no production right now... i have been putting up older pieces for feedback in the hopes i can tweak them a bit more to my [and everyone's] liking. i think my ecclectic library speaks for itself; i dont stick to only one genre. i do, however, like them all and love trying to learn the ins and outs of each of them.
i would suggest listening to other types of hip hop [especially those without lyrics lol] before leaving behind the entire genre, but you seem to be pretty set in your likes and dislikes of more popular forms of music. and thats ok. i just think you might be missing out on some really talented artists.
as always, your opinions and listens are greatly appreciated!

Description : I first discovered the iconic singer Ella Fitzgerald through my parents, my mother who was a renowned vocalist herself had a deep appreciation for the music of legendary artists. I was too young but captivated by the soulful jazz melodies that filled our home on lazy Sunday afternoons. "Summertime" Exudes a timeless touch of elegance it has a special place in my heart.

Description : Every instrument is performed and recorder live. Piano, double bass, drums.

Instruments Used:
-"WELTMEISTER" upright piano (MADE IN GERMANY in 1938)
-"KAY" upright bass (MADE IN GERMANY somwhere in 1950th)
-TAMA Imperial Star + Pearl OMAR HAKIM snare + Various Ziljian cymbals.

I just put together some old ideas to see if it will work. Some vocals and brass, or guitars is clearly needed. Let me know what you think about it. Tnx

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?

Description : I wrote this track about two years ago. I remember at the time I wrote it I was having conversations with BofD and Mark about oddball time signatures so,
I played all the instruments in different time signatures from time to time 3/4 4/4 5,6 &7/8 etc. I wanted this track to be a track where time sigs went to die.
