Description : Ed Cunningham... A.K.A. Tumbleweed has been making awesome loops and music on this site for years and so i thought I would put some of his PAD work and Guitar work together to make a simple song rejoicing his amazing talents. lets all give a warm mention in the comments on how ED has effected your experience on this site. I know he and Orlando have done some amazing work together in collaboration. So in the spirit of Canadian Thanksgiving i give a shout out to my fellow Canadian!

Female vocals on the intro and outro are a nice touch. This is very good

very well done. Tumbleweed's loops have found their way into a few of my works. I still have some in my library that were too awesome to not download for later use. great job

This is a well put together track.
I think I can understand what you mean by 'staring at the eclipse', a sort of wonder and awe.
Hats off to you. And Tumbleweed, of course.

Here Here, Ed is known for guitar, but listen to his Pads, they are so full of depth.

Cool track Cru.
Even if you used Ed's guitar and pads, this track shows a lot of your own talent... and as most of your work, as a dark touch to it. Which is never a bad thing. Au contraire... I really enjoy this.

And you paying tribute to Ed is a nice thing: you are two of the most talented persons on this site.
So I can second Danke's thought... having a group of you 3 should be a nice thing to see. But of course, when it comes to the name, Crulandoweed wins hands down against Tumbleandothus :-)

Take care, Domenico

crucethus replied 18th Oct 2017 - 7 years ago
Thank you Domenico. You are right I did add my own dark blend to the song, but that Lead Pad was so dynamic (see underneath for explanation)
Danke is wise, but how a bout an acronym.
O.C.T.
Thank you for the nice words as well. I just enjoy making music. nothing more, nothing less.
Ciao

Hey Crucethus.

I love what you've done with the samples. Rather than trying to shoehorn all of them into one track, you've created something both fluid and cohesive. I agree that the song is chill out, but it also gives me a gentle feeling of melancholy. It's not full on sadness just a dull ache, as if a great joy is just out of reach. Does that make sense?
Anyway, it made me feel something. And that's the sign of good musicianship.

Thank you for describing what has been difficult to describe my entire life. There are certain sounds when I would hear them even as a boy that would make me feel this immense not quite sad feeling but almost a longing aching for something or someone from the past that you had lost. not quite loneliness, not quite sadness, not quite grief. but its that feeling in the side of your ribs when you ache with despair for some reason. That signature Pad from ED makes me feel that way when I hear it. it's almost a melancholic-nostalgic ennui feeling that I am sure another language than English could describe better. For me that was the starting point. to build around this" feeling" with changing percussion and other worldly vocals that reminded you of Late sixties star trek theme or the psychedelic movement out of SF. Thanks for pointing out what was hard for me to pin down in this tune. Thats the sign of great ears my friend.

Wonderful move Steve to pay a tribute to one of the greatest musicians around here (and there) with this kind of musical idea. You deserve big compliment for that. I'm proud and honored being able to make collabs with someone of Ed's caliber and to enjoy a great friendship. You Canadian boys are really special..:)

Cheers and all the best_____Leon

Welll...this was a big and most pleasant surprise my friend...I`ve been away from the loop most of the year..just checked in today to catch up with a few of my favs....amazing to hear what a talented musician can do with some of those loops ..posted partly to vary a little from my more usual guitar & bass noise...and most of them were created by my old Alesis QS6 (sample based keyboard) from the 90s....Love what you did here...fab track...and my thanks for those kind comments.....Ed

Ed this project has been nothing but a pleasure to do. I fell in love with that pad loop and started off in four different directions with it. this song is the most reasonable approach. Take yourself a bow, you earned it , on this site your Pads and songs contribute to all of us and inspire us to make great music. so chin chin if you have a glass!

Hello Cru,
In it's global aspect, this track is very aerian and really gliding. It's the main thread of this piece. And, Without we expect it, a loop makes its entrance. It creates the break and the moment of its expression move the central line towards something more unexpected, of a little rougher.
As a result, this alternation contributes to capture at each moment our attention and instigates our curiosity. The ingredients of a good piece finally!!

really good track Cru, nice bass (with some sub?), nice vibes and delicious drums line!
During 04:28, i was in a chill out room totally soothing :) thanks!
A big fav for this one

HE Bleep. The fact you point out the aerian sound of the pad is what draws me to Ed's Pads in the first place. They are very complex and sound amazing. With the first pad in the song listening to it gives me this hollow feeling inside of longing for something nostalgic. So I tried to make some of the vocals have a sixties reverb feel (slightly overdriven mike) Sort of Star trek theme (TOS), B52's Planet Claire. to fill that nostalgic hole and yet use moer sounds (Subs, yes) and organ stabs and cool sounding panned drums. This song went through 4 phases but I was happy with the end result.

Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.

Description : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.

Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.

Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."

Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice

Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...
