Description : I decided to try something I've never done before. Record and mix a track live! I premade some samples and MIDI sequences that I could trigger at will (I had to have the vocoder and strings ready). Then I got a friend to come around to help mix it live and help out with some tricky trasitions and some in-session resampling of my vox.
It took 3 attempts, but I kinda like the result.

Real unique track. Has a dark and mysterious almost sinister vibe to it. Vocals are perfect and extremely well done. I'm getting a lot of film noir feeling from it. Would work nice as a theme to something like American Horror story. I dig it TA.

Hey Neomorpheus.
Thank you for your kind words. I agree that it has a sinister vibe. I don't think it's dark enough for AHS though. The latter half seem a little more hopeful, in a ttrippy kinda way. Still if they offer me money, I will not be turning it down :p

Thanks for your comment, man.

Hey Eighteen,

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. The track was a good catharsis for me. I got a lot of emotions out that had been sitting with me too long. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Thanks Kargalar.
I used a Ouija board and a spirit box. However, it took me ages to get the place exorcised; now I can finally sleep without hearing Folsom Prison Blues emanating from the walls :D

Thanks. I think it worked out quite well. But I probably wouldn't record the same way again. Took almost as long as recording it the normal way.

overall a really good track, man. I don't comment much when I know it's a bad song in general, however cheers. Would definitely like to remix it.

Thank you for commenting. I'm glad you like it. Remix sounds cool. I can upload an acapella, not sure how I'd get other stems as I recorded the instruments to only 2 tracks (1 for drums and 2) for all the other synths).

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...

Description : An older track from me (2008). In this new version I improved mixing, added more bass and reworked the piano ...

The title is Dora. Looperman does not allow titles with 4 chars so I inserted a space
