Description : OK, I finally managed to find a song name, so here it is. But the genre is still open. WTF is it? World? Trip? Trance? Rock? psychedelic? .
I started this song with the wahwah background track, I think I wanted to go in the triphop direction but when I played with it and tried out things I added some Tabla sounds from the available sound library of the cubase software to it, just to get a feel for it. It sounded right somehow, and so it developed from there. As before, we did the work on wikiloops band section: bhunt1 (Brian) on Bass added his track, and rp3drums (Raymond) on drums (one straight drum track, and one para-diddle track). I then added several more guitar tracks.
So I would be happy to listen to your comments and advice, and if I get a good suggestion for name and genre I will change it. Cheers, TG :D

Great track. Really enjoyed it. I would call it psychedelic funk rock myself. Definitely a funky element, and definitely rocks. You can dance to this and that's vital. I loved the interplay and flow of all the different guitars. Some great wailing, some great bass especially in the section where it's featured. It carried me through to the end bangin' and boppin'. Cool tune and successful collab.
This is real music, I'm working on a project for an album that is yet to be released, the sound is psychedelic R&B with pop elements, and I'm asking for your permission and I'll credit you and you can listen to it and I am interested to use this track for a duet that I'm planning on recording with a friend of mine, I know the album would take a while just wanted to share my ideas.
Sorry it took so long to reply, was busy busy busy. Thanks for listening, and great that you like the track. If someone wants to add to our music, isn't that the biggest compliment? Regarding the other issue, I am sending you a private message in a minute. Thanks, TG
Hey this is pretty sweet, and an intense ride! Since you ask about genre, although I have little experience with music in this specific mutation, it sounds most suited to psychedelic or possible fusion to my ears. It isn't that important of course. Your guitar work is impressive and refreshing to hear, in this time of virtual everything. It was jamming and fun! My cat had an upchuck accident while the song was playing, but I don't how that is relevant... ha ha. I liked hearing this very much! Fave!
LOl I almost had an accident myself reading about your cat, made my day :D :D :D . Thanks for your input, I guess psychedelic is probably right, I mean I grew up on late 60ies music, and I do like to incorporate weird sounding scales... Thanks man :)
Hey there mate, interesting track!...finding a suitable genre category is a complicated process these days, it was way easier 30 years ago! lol anyway I digress, sounds very reminiscent of plenty of jams I was involved with back in the day and possesses that free flowing element you just don't hear in most modern music, it's great to see some actual 'played' music where the variance degree is dialled right up and the predictability level is dialled right down, enjoyed it from start to finish with some cool changes happening....nice one man! cheers Dave
Pete is spot on with the Belew reference with a hint of Fripp. Your work on guitar work is awesome. Then at 2:12 that little melody line, was just exquisite. Loved the ethnic percussion underneath. But the melodies were awesome. Favd for sure. great work and a great listen.
Cru
Hey Cru, see what I wrote to Pete below, both of you are so kind in your comments. I can't deny that Fripp is a great influence, although I can't play any of his stuff. 21st Century Schizoid Man is a song I love, always listen to it, that guitar sound...and the distorted vocals...yes! So thanks for listening and the lovely comments!
Certainly a good blend of genres, funk, rock and world music sound most prevalent to me. The ending is where I hear the ethnic vibe.
The guitars sound great and well played. They carry the feel of the track as it progresses through it's changes. The wah wah has the '70's funk feel, I should get one of those. The world music part at 2:00 the gits are clean and that sound is used a lot in world music.
Are you mic'ing an amp when recording the guitars? Sounds like they are, you get a real good guitar sound.
Hey Wayne, thanks for listening and commenting, much appreciated! If you would see my recording setup you would laugh, it consists of my Fender Strat with probably 2 year old strings, a "Vox Tonlab ST" multieffect (it has a built-in tube to get a warm sound), and from there I go with a simple guitar cable directly into the microphone socket of my 10 year old Acer notebook... and my sofa - where I do all the work :D . So in a way it is very analogue-ish :) ---
I use Cubase 8 to record, but I hardly ever use any of the effects on the guitar, usually it all comes from the Vox. It has a built in Wahwha pedal (or you can configure it to use as an expression pedal etc, , and the great thing about it is that I can save up to 50 settings. So if I were to play live and I wanted any of the sounds on this song, all I need is a "clean" amp, plug the Vox in and I got it. For me the Vox is great, it an do a lot of sounds and effects.
But, I am thinking of getting a mic and record the Vox through a small amp - this would probably add another "live" dimension to it.
You make it sound as I did something on purpose - the truth is I started just riffing with the wahwah, and then I got this 8 bar sequence down, which was a little tricky as I tried to gently squeeze the wah pedal all the way in one direction during the "chackachakcka" bit - (the "instinct" is to go up and down). Then I did the second wahwah loop, and once these were down I built up the song, adding bits and pieces. Then when the drums came in I asked Raymond to do another track of percussion, and gave him a link to some drumming I thought would fit. He did something completely different, but actually much better. Same with the bass. I had something totally different in mind, but Brian insisted on something else - which was not less good by all means - and I just mixed it. So it came out totally different from what I wanted - but I love it - it is better than I could have imagined :)
Thanks for listening, and thanks for your kind remarks, that made MY day :)
Thanks man, appreciate your comments. Yes a lot of things mixed in there, all more or less "happened". You can read how it happened in my reply to Mildperil.
If Frank Zappa went the blaxpotation music route he would have sounded like this.
Despite the use of several sounds from different sources,the track is really well balanced.
Glad i downloaded your track.

Thanks for sharing
Man, I love the Zappa comment, you made my day :D. Big fan of his, I wish I had the talent of the tip of his mustache :D . Thanks for listening and commenting, and glad you enjoyed it. TG
Thought have a listen and see if can help with what your not sure abouts :) first off nice clean mix, from listening it nearly fits the rock genre, but does seem like a couple of genre's blended further into the track funk being one of them, so maybe the fusion genre? Title wise MAYBE (Long Day At The Office)??? Anyways mate nice work on this one, enjoyed the listen very much...Fav...mosaic...PS Hope helped a little...
I dont know what genre to place it in but it sounds very good. A lot of funky sounds and very solid grooves. Love the electric guitar in it. The break is very warm and welcome. Great stuff!
Description : My actual track for X-mas. Too late again, as usual... But now just with a few days only instead months. :D It's enough stodgy, need some mood for enjoy, that's sure. Dunno where to put it. Fusion? Cinematic? Weird? Trash? :)

Description : Break up song of sorts lol. Vox, guitars and keys by Zootman. Beats and bass free Loopmasters demo. Words are (mostly) what I thought Damo Suzuki was singing on One More Night by Can. Instrumental or stems avail if anyone wants to play with it.
Description : Full Moon energy blasted through me big time. This track encompasses all those emotions about feeling lunarly de-railed. The lyric 'can't do it, won't do it' reflects the desire to step away from the norm, due to overwhelm.
The scream speaks for itself!

Saw this track on looperman and I had to make something.Please feel free to let me know what you think.
Open to suggestions. Thanks all :) I hope you enjoy!
Description : Psychedelic, Eastern, dark dance/jazz/fusion based around my cello playing plus minimal other instrumentation. Two sections of electric guitar, one of Fender Rhodes, one synth pad, some swirling female vocal samples and one sub synth bass. Apart from multiple drum loops and programmed acoustic drumkits, everything else is cello, including most of the weird sounds.

Description : Everyone seems to be using acapella recently. I ran across some "spoken word" that was inspiring so... That's what this is. I don't know if it would still be considered "acapella". most of the drums are Laurentwirz my fav drummer on LM
PEACE...
Description : sup! decided to make some cyberpunk songs, I dunno why. This one turned out awesome though! It sounds exactly as I wanted :D
Anyways,
I´ve used an acapella for the intro:
