If you have time take a listen and give Micky some feedback.
I haven't had a chance to check out what's going on on Looperman in weeks. I am very happy that you are listening to my old compositions and I am really honored. I'm trying to sound "jazzy" and yet I really have no idea about chord progressions, harmony and all that... I've always been a quitter on that one... shame on me! Now I "only" have my feeling, and thank goodness it seems to be a good navigator. Really, really...I'm very happy if you can relate to my simple "creations"...thank you!
This is some high-quality stuff you got going on here!
to me this sounds like asian kinda jazz, frickin awesome man!
This could easely be on Atlus's Persona games for sure
Now this was a prety pleasant surprise to listen to. I loved it. Awesome diversity when it comes of the use of certain elements and ingredients. But also prety good mixed as well. It certainly made me groove a bit. And when you can do that it means it is good in my books. So yeah a job very well done. Keep up the good work. And keep on creating and listening. Verdi P.S. I will add this track as a potential fav of mine simply because it really sounded good and well balanced. So again well done.
WOW! I really enjoyed this track, Michael. Great composition. Loved the guitar solo. You threaded the various parts and instruments together very nicely. If Joe gave it the stamp of approval, it must be good! :)
Such a cool, creative track. Interesting to listen to, so much going on.
Like cru mentioned, back off the compressor/volume on the master track, look to get -1.5 db below 0 db, it translates to mp3 better across all music formats and gives the track some breathing room, everything is competing for space in the mix.
I like it though, well produced and catchy piece of music!
Thank you so much. I updated this again now. You know: much passion and euphoria about making music but a big lack of mastering know how here. So I'm thankful for both: your compliments and your tips - both is very helpful. THX
Nice worked, you crammed the whole enchilada of funk sounds in this one. If U back down on the compressor just a small bit and enhance the dynamics it would be even better than the masterpiece it already is. ehh? (Canadian polite way of a question mark)
Love the retro sounds and the stereo separation. Well, mixed. And that guitar is scorching hot.

Hi crucethus,
thanks for the tip. I had fixed that compression problem already but did not know about the option to update tracks here. But I found out and uploaded this in better quality.
Thanks for your careful listening.
That note about the guitar made my day ;o)
Wow... super disco... nice guitar wakka. Complete with flute.... that's super sweet. Then into grand piano. Excellent composition... Flute and backing self produced or bought? Wanna know as if you produced it as I'm looking for this sound please name the products... :-D
Hey RAPREscENT,
thank you so much for the compliments.
Well, the modus operandi was as follows:
The DAW I do almost everything with is (believe it or not) Garage Band.
First I had this beat which consists partly of an apple loop that comes with Garage Band and then some additions like shakers, tambourines and cymbals, all pasted one by one. I always do that manual because to me the results sound more lively and real.
Then built some chord structure with keyboard so I could follow with my bass (custom made, Alembic pickups).
I remembered the combination of vibes and traverse flute from "All Night Long" by MARY JANE GIRLS (I guess that was Rick James) which I thought would be cool here. I played the melody via master keyboard manual again.
The flute solo in the first part is a mosaic of little samples from apple loops, a real piece of handicraft work.
Then the most pleasant part: my guitar solo in/for two voices – first take, spontaneously.
Well, all of it finally got mastered just with "LoudMax", a wonderful tool if you can't afford better equipment.
But really - I don't know how and why something like that works in the end and I surely am as surprised as anyone else how they sometimes groove like hell. You know – a friend once told me "Remember, Funk is a reward in itself" and I guess that is kinda true.
I just listened to some of your great work and it seems to me, we could do interesting stuff in collab ...
Hey CAP
glad you like it, thanks.
I wanted to have somebody singing or rappin on it, but what can you do in this musical diaspora that I'm living in here ....

Description : I wrote this track a while ago, dug it out again, completely overhauled with new vocals, new mix and master and stuff... hope you like it.
Description : Updated 12/2/2022. This is an interesting redo of a funky and fun composition. I gave it more polish by switching to a different drum kit, swapped the flute solo for a synth, then infused more flavor into the guitars, bass and organ. Then lastly tweaking the final master. Can you tell the difference? Let me know. Enjoy.
Description : Continuing my journey with sampling. This was mostly an accident, and not where I originally thought it would go but I'm happy with the destination. I started with the track Real Reel Switcher by Eunice Russ Frost, which has a slower melancholy swing to it, however I've been playing a bunch of older video games lately, with SSX being in the mix heavily, so this track ended up taking on a bit of that for inspiration as well. Would love your thoughts.

Description : A very retro style funk/jazz tune featuring allot of old school instruments, i.e. B3 Hammond organ, wah wah guitar, and lots of funk horns. I'd love to hear what you think.
