Description : R&B track inspired by Brody Brown's work on Bruno Mars' new album. Brown would be entirely unimpressed by this track, of course. He's a really fine musician. I've left the electric piano lines that are meant for vocal parts in the track. If ever I found a lyricist and and singer that could do something with this track, I'd produce a backing track version without those parts. Lots of room for a good singer to build on the melody ideas and make it their own.

Thank-you, Gipish. I spend a lot of time on the melodies for my tracks. As for the bass, I actually have always wanted to play real electric bass, but never got the chance. I'm thinking of doing some online bass lessons to improve the bass parts for my tracks. I think there's something really satisfying about laying in a really tasty bass part. When I played in bands, I was on drums, guitar, or keyboard. Never touched a bass. I'm getting my revenge now, I guess! :)
"But, for some reason, I seem to be creating stuff that links back more to the music I grew up with."
The best music I have ever listened too has the ability to sound new and futuristic and also look back in the past and take from there as well. The best advice I have for someone like you Eric is make the music that you like too listen too. Just by doing that you will become amazing. Like this track. It has some cool r&b vibes. I would mix that Rhodes piano with the nice phase effect back into the background (yes I know it will parallel your vocal ideas) but you can then think about adding a quiet guitar lick, and then a subtle percussion fill and so on which will fill out your song better. Otherwise I like the sounds.

A wise comment and sage advice, from you, Crucethus. I think you are right on the money. I do struggle with finding the something that sounds new and futuristic. I find that I am still working on getting that sound that I hear in my head. I appreciate your suggestions for remixing the Rhodes, making room for some guitar. Getting good guitar parts is a challenge for me, I must admit. I've got several virtual instruments but I find them very limiting and complex to use. And, as for the percussion fills, that's just me being lazy. I'm glad you called me on it. I can do better.
My favorite part is when the strings come in at 3:15. Gives it a more than love feeling but like an eternal bond. Definitely a lot of space for lush vocals, in my mind I can hear an old school singer like Marvin Gaye but then I also heard like a duet between a man and woman. Keep up the good work. Peace & Blessings.
Thanks for you kind comment, Benton. I for sure can heard an old school singer like Marvin (definitely somebody I admired greatly). I hadn't thought of a duet, but on reflection I can see/hear what you mean. I think it comes from the interweaving melody lines toward the end of the track. That's a really interesting suggestion. :)
Thank-you, Jamid. I have removed almost all of the tracks I've posted over the years on Looperman and am starting over. I started off here trying to produce EDM, probably gravitating toward trance. Fellow Looperman members were encouraging and supportive, but the truth is that I really wasn't all that good at it. That was disappointing. I really like the music. But, for some reason, I seem to be creating stuff that links back more to the music I grew up with. I guess that's not the worst direction to go in. Backwards? :)

Description : At the risk of totally embarrassing myself, I am uploading this track. It was my attempt to produce a UK-style R&B track. I usually lay in the vocal melody line as a placeholder, using a Rhodes or B-3 patch. But, this track is primarily piano so Rhodes didn't work very well and the B-3 just didn't sound right. But, mostly, I couldn't get the expressiveness I wanted using the instruments. So, I decided to lay down a scratch vocal.
Now, I do understand entirely that I am a terrible singer. But, I needed to get the melody recorded somehow and I just could not find another way that worked properly. So, perhaps someday, a vocalist who can handle this track will present himself and I will gratefully remove this version.
I have no lyrics, so I'm singing nonsense syllables, which I understand is a fairly common method that even accomplished songwriters use when they are working things out.
And, if this is too offensive to Looperman members' ears, I will delete it. I'm not trying to inflict pain on anybody. Just trying to find a vocalist to work with.
I'm especially fond of the synth that starts around 1:08, and the subtle strings that come in later on.
The melody lines sounded unique to me.
The bass ostinato fit way better than one would think.
Great dynamic contrast as well.
Nice job!
