Description : inspired by art of Susana Boettner which reminds me of the three kings story of this time of year. three motives in the track vaguely allude to three characters, sometimes in monologue, sometimes dialogue. http://www.susanaboettner.com/losvisitantes/05.jpg
Genre is always tricky and I don't know genres very well so I usually go with weird. But I think I write in an orchestral style, albeit I have mostly abandoned traditional orchestral instruments.
The track is loosely cinematic, insofar as it describes a journey, with mystery, adventure, celebration along the way.

great job dan. weird? mabe. sounds like electronic. reminds me a little like Jean michele Jerre. there used to be in the 80's a genre called new age. this is great stuff.
Yea - I think I could start just going with electronic I agree. I remember new age but that was a little less 'weird' and more about ambience, possibly a kind of 'therapeutic' genre also. Glad you liked this buddy. Thanks.
You gotta be about the most..to hell with convention...creative guy on the loop Dan..I`m glad you are not paying much attention to genres..they are totally unhelpful in the creative process unless you are trying to conform to something thats been done before.....I like the freedom of the cinematic genre...good excuse to play to whatever picture is in the mind...very creative..abstract...quite unusual....well done, much respect to you....Ed
Hey Ed. Well I always joke that I was sleeping during theory class so had to invent my own system when I started writing. But yea - I don't try to tie in with genre for most part. Having said that, I am thinking about a few steps back for next track into something more conventional with more emphasis on sweet sounds, blends, and listener's experience. Thanks very much for awesome comment. Regards - Dan
Another awesome track midisparks! The atmosphere you have created here is great. And it does remind me of flying drones too. I'm glad to see you are still creating these intriguing tracks. Truly nice work.
Hey Shatner - glad you had a chance to check this. There were quite a few 'personalities' to manage in this track but I was pretty happy with the result. Irony is that with less one can sometimes do more and I think I may back off to fewer voices, ideas, etc., and more emphasis on the ultimate sonic experience for the user. Looking forward to checking out your latest. Regards - Dan
Yea, you got it right. The idea is to model some music for abstract art and hopefully motivate some interest in current Winter Contest on the site.
I guess this piece is avant garde. I always joke that I was half asleep every morning in music theory class so now, when I want to compose, I have to make up my own systems! Well - despite my bad behavior in music school there is a lot of classical influence.
anyway - I'm very happy you had a chance to check this one out and thank you for the comment.
Thanks for checking it out Jamid. I liked the idea of a strong statement at the very outset before getting into the groove of it. Thanks for responding to my message also! Talk to you later. Dan
Whats good Dan! Cool stuff going on in this track...a lot of nice elements...your very creative like "Spivkurl"...it would be so Kool to see you guys do a Collab...also I think you would be good at doing some Cinematic stuff.....Anyway keep creating and stay original.
hey jody! yea - spiv and i are buds and he has contributed some loops to a few of my tracks. can't say a true collab cause he was just giving me something for my concept as opposed to a joint concept but anyway. . . I am glad you found something interesting in this. There is a new mix posted and one more probably in the morning then onward and upward. thanks very much for visiting. Dan
I think someone added a little something to the fruitcake! The pic definitely reminds me of the the three kings story, and that looks like an abstract baby in the red at the bottom. What kind of gifts were they bringing anyway?! Merry Christmas Dan :D
I don't know FSOL but will check it out. The 'weird' genre is a catch-all, of course, but it seems to be mine more often than not. Appreciate your stopping by. Later. Dan
i'm scared of those drones, but gotta get over that. yea - i'm hoping to expand this, refine a bit more. glad you were liking it though. appreciate it very much. regards.
Hi, Kinmadi. I am famous for writing music that sounds like it belongs in video games. I have speculated that it is partly that I am about 30 years behind with the synths and the electronic production techniques, so my music is unavoidably old school sounding. But at the same time I have this music conservatory background so I write this inscrutable esoteric stuff that does sometimes manage to sound original. I am glad you liked it kingmadi. Thanks very much for the comment. Dan
I am not sure what the morphing is but I'm glad you liked it, Michael. I will hopefully continue to refine this one, to expand it, balance it out musically. I was in a hurry to have something 'finished' to share out. Great to have you stop by. Later. Dan
This is an enjoyable experiment! I've been experimenting with more ambient things as well lately... just trying to get free I guess. There are a lot of barriers to artistic fulfillment, and the decision has to be made. Very happy to hear you still breaking through barriers, and it is especially evident with songs like this. I'm looking forward to hearing you take this further! Fave!
Thank you for the Fave! Much appreciated. I was dead set on understanding sampling in FL Studio better and I think I got a bit further down the road with that goal in this project. I hope I can scrub this one, but who knows. The demands of online promotion compete with creative work. Hard to strike the balance. Thanks for the positive feedback Pat.
Hey Burt thanks. yea - I'm gonna keep working to expand this for sure. I am doing a short video with the art that inspires this, hence the short version for now.

Description : working on a more rock heavy metal crossover. I try to get it working. I got lots of insparation from here on LM, looking for any advice that would help me to get closer. I left the beat in the end open, so you can try it out. guit, synth or vox, etc....
Chords:
I B I D I E I F# I
Description : Every instrument is performed and recorder live. Piano, double bass, drums.
Another try from my horror jazz collective.
Instruments Used:
-"LIRA" upright piano (MADE IN USSR 1973)
-"BLAST CULT" upright bass (MADE IN USA 2016)
-TAMA Imperial Star + Pearl OMAR HAKIM snare + Various Ziljian cymbals.
Description : One of those tracks you put your headphones on and your off too fantasy land for bit.Its all over the music spectrum on this track.*no foul language but does have lyrics that contain adult language
Description : Many of strangeness here ....
A link between two musical worlds quite different but united in this message of harmony.
"Silverpaw" (former Looperman) had in the depths of one of its hard drives, this arrangement that I made the past year: https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/120846
He decided to bring this theme, with a text and this voice ....
Very surreal but I really enjoyed ....
Description : I am quite open to all kind of music out there. This time I had some Church organ pipes lying around. With the help of 2nick8 and IMHO one of his best songs out there I put him into a big room and let the organs speak. Yes, maybe weird, maybe different, maybe 2nick8 will throw some egg against me ... I did it. What do you all think of it? (I changed the Genre to "Weird" in the meantime but "Experimental" would do also.
Description : Here i am the rough grannie lol
In the period when i was not on LM i didd go on
to fill my older beats with my voice.
I wish i could delete the snares.
They are sometimes in the wrong place.
But when i go from fl20 on old laptop to fl21 on new laptop , i didd delete all my old tracks to make a fresh start with a empty laptop.Now i feel sorry.
Description : I started out making this track a Vocal track, then it turned into a Chillout track but, now I'd say DubJazz, PsychoFunk or Weird. You be the Judge.
Description : Hey guys! Well, this is the first time I upload a song with my voice. I have to confess that this is not a style I usually sing. And, as an extra point, this is my first song in english. My native language is spanish, my english is not perfect, so sorry for mistakes (grammar, pronunciation, etc). Well, about lyrics, I explain the story on description of the instrumental version. If you want to read the story or hear the instrumental track, go here [ https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/146653 ]. This song was made on Magix Music Maker 2013 Premium and Adobe Audition 3.0. I hope you like it. Thanks! SUN & MOON... FIRE & ICE HEART... LIGHT & DARK FUSION...
Description : I haven't done anything in awhile. I got tired of screwing with this so just did some gain staging & panning & slapped it on here. It definitely sounds like something I would do.
Description : So i did a bit of sound design on an interview i watched (its not a film or anything with reserved rights so Looper Admin finna chill out,lol)
its of a lady who committed a crime of passion, tortured her BF for 3 days before killing him because he had "snitched" and put many people in Jail.she shows no remorse at all and is presentably a very highly intelligent individual..this is a project i did.
basically some cinematic ambiance to accompany the tone of the convo and at the end i just put some simple loops of strings,arps and a nice killer guitar...didnt work hard on the drums tho..i dont know what genre this is so i will put it under "weird" then sit in a corner and cry coz no one listens to weird stuff lol
peace Loopers
Description : Again not sure of genre but it is kinda weird. Very much an experiment and Im not sure if it works but someone will let me know no doubt. If you can cope at all probably better with headphones. Pad sound is guitar treated with reverbs, crazy drums constructed from Akai kits and free jazz SFZ kit, sax samples and minimal synth line from arturia minifreak
A flying drone.
Loving the creativity in this one midisparks, overall a nice and creative track.
I can see the flying drone also. A lot of drones in the track of course. The little character 'hits' could be aspects of the drone's 'personality'.
Thanks for the comment and checking out the track. Look forward to hearing something of yours very soon.
Regards,
Dan
all the best
