Progressive would probably work, but you can't select that, so maybe cinematic?

All the best music is difficult to pin down.

The mix is great. The music is well written and arranged. It kinda reminds me of Avatar (band), less the death metal.

Nice work.

Wow, thanks for sharing spear, I'm a big fan of Micky, he knows, he's got funk and rythme, like me, he's just a better producer I'm a dancer first so it's instinctive, was introduced to your voice earlier on Stevens, it's great. I to have been working on my Halloween piece, it's been ready for a fortnight I was waiting for the beginning of Oct, I've gone totally different to this stunning piece,

great to hear this again, this time round I paid more attention to the lyrics (and googled the poem). Had to laugh that it was her dear, true hearted pooch in the end burying a bone!

Really lovely track - the duet reminds me of the nick cave and pj harvey henry lee track (though that's quite different). Great stuff.

Ahh I love Halloween songs, we have a tradition here on looperman of doing them and posting them, so please make sure you re-post this in October. This reminds me slightly of priest (not judas, but the remenants of the original backing band of Ghost). I will post a reference. This is awesome. great mix, awesome composition.

I thoroughly enjoyed this fun piece, love the melody and especially love when the vocals go high - oh yeah, that is a great sound.

I wouldn't say spookie or experimental
More pop reggaeish 80's vibe track to me
ok that's not a specific genre either
But it's a cool track guys, well done

This track is so clean and refreshing. It sounds like you and Micky are in the same room, the vocals are great and the background music is perfectly matched to the vocals.
Great Track. Faved

PEACE...

Gran pista, donde sobresalen vuestras voces perfectamente acopladas. La música perfecta resaltando con fuerza el mensaje de esta obra de arte. Realmente un lujo que cuanto más lo escuchas más te va enganchando. Bien por los dos.

Wow awesome, this is something I am not used to hear at looperman,
and I of course mean that in a good way.
This is some high level artistic stuff I hear, great job on the vocals.
The backing track is simple but it totally suits it.
Looove the flute twist at 2:50

Spoopy is my new favorite word. Thanks for that :D

I think it has potential for a halloween track. The mix balance could be a little tighter to allow for bus compression to bring up over-all levels.
It would be a shame not to hear it next to other halloween songs if the perceived volume is lower than the other tracks.
Running it through LANDR can help give you an idea of how it would "bloom" under mastering compression if you aren't sure.
Vocals and the composition are complimenting each other nicely.
Good work here!
Very spoopy stuff! :D

Tee hee! "Spoopy" was popular very shortly. Someone made a typo and it stuck for a while. I used it here because of filk, which is a genre that got it's name from a typo; spoopy filk is what I call filk that has to do with spoopy stuff. =^-^=

When you got to the technical advice, you lost me... thank goodness you didn't lose Micky. (LOL) He's going to recompress and I'll re-upload. While waiting for the new file I'm going to try to learn about blooming, LANDR, and bus compression.

Rather interesting, if not low key track. Nice use of synths & the vocal is nicely mixed. Good one.

Thanks! I also think it's low key; mellow.

This is cool! I like the space in the song, there's plenty going on but it's wide open in the mix. Lyrics/singing are interesting, giving the song a darker theme.

Great job turning a poem into music, i think it captures the idea Hardy had perfectly.

Vibing on this one. Love the music, melody and lyrics. Awesome work. Genre? Maybe folk? Who cares, I'm a sucker for that weird tag anyway.

Description : Updated 9/23/24. This is a progressive fusion flavored jazz number. I called on fellow Looperman DISCIPLINE to season this composition with that FIRE GUITAR, and he did! Let me know your thoughts on this one. Enjoy.

Description : Now on youtube: youtu.be/0RYfA4iCsSA, soon out on my upcoming album "Step by Step"!
==============
Inspired by a track of Pseudoble. I was noodling along to his track "I wish I didn't know" (which is awesome) and had the words "Snow in Athens" in my head. This with the smooth jazz/fusion atmosphere led me to this track with a sort of Steely Dan feel.

Description : This track is built around the repetitive lead guitar line which I have previously incorporated as an intro for the rocker track "Sweetheart Runner" by LM user TinyFinger whom I have helped in arranging, mixing and producing his song. This extended session was a good oportunity to test some new equipment....Thanks to Tiny for not being mad about it...:)^^

Description : Psychedelic blues hip hop with lead banjo and acoustic resonator slide guitar. Acoustic drum kits, fat basslines, soaring filtered strings, some strong Eastern elements (from guitar and strings), some dub and funk from the bass and drums and a bit of rocking electric guitar. Very unusual piece of music and a trip like no other I've heard. Some of it is like a dark, deep Southern delta blues track over a hip hop and dub backing. All played and programmed by me, no loops used.

After a quite turbulent long travel we’ve reached a totally unknown planet which is mostly covered with clouds. As we pass over it we can see parts of rivers through the clouds that come out of the dark rocky surface in some places. So the whole scene is alternating textures of white, dark gray and silver flashes. Unfortunately there’s no chance to land anywhere so we just pass, wonder and travel on …

Description : Real acoustic, electric and bass guitars played by me. Drums are loops and programmed MIDI. Played piano and synths. Lots of layers and delay. A gated moog, organ, my recorded finger-snaps and a reversed bass guitar effect that sounds like throat-singing. Three movements, divided by moments of calm. Thoughts and feedback are welcome.

Description : Return To Forever was a group that started my love of fusion jazz and this is my attempt to cover their 1976 track, “The Romantic Warrior. I know I wore out several inceptions of this album from LP, cassette and 8 track. The original track was over 10 minutes long, so I abridged it some. Hope you like and download.

Description : Found some 70's funk drum loops that I liked and added some funk horn loops. Then I found some effects and percussion loops that worked well with the bass loops I found. Yeah, all loops but 1 vocal track of mine. :) Funk/fusion? Might be cool to have some hip hop styled vox on this, any takers?
