Description : Veeerrrry ammbbiieeent. A few treated accoustic guitar tracks, bass and minimal percs (LM buffalonugaluss and another I can't seem to track down). I'm sure only a few will listen right through, but in the right mood, five minutes can pass pretty fast.

If you have time take a listen and give Zootman some feedback.

one of my old instructors in earlier days used to say,,,if something doesn`t add in a meaningful way to the mix, take it out...will keep it in mind

Zootman replied 3rd Aug 2022 - 2 years ago
i hear exactly what you are saying, no pressure at all and I won't hold my breath. when i think about it i can't really imagine what i would add either. i wonder what beat measure program you use.... I have yet to work out how to do that in reaper, when I try it never seems to work. besides which, the guitars/bass on this were done off grid, only the wee percs have a bpm and that was 75.

downloaded a copy (sounds damn good for a 96kps MP3). After listening, not sure I can really add anything that doesn`t bugger it up...I am in the habit of developing melodies around chord progs..playing in one key can sound more like gtr fx...anyway..I`m always up for a collab...usually learn something. Will give it a shot mate & see what I can come up with & get in touch if I can...may contact you if my beatmeasure program doesn`t want to calculate recording tempo...cheers....Ed

not too long at all..needed all 5 min to let the sound carry me away with it...great to hear some of this kind of music on LM. My own efforts have gotten so mellow in recent times I seldom thought of posting on LM (keep a few posts going on SC) as I didn`t think there would be much interest. This is really well done with fab production values..paints the picture you title perfectly...keep on..Ed

Nothing wrong with mellow Ed, don't let that stop you! Valve driver suggested in his comments on this track that he'd love to hear you lay some guitar on it. I have to agree! Thanks a lot for listening, I like to hear from you.

This is a great piece as it is. I do love the rolling pads. The bass has a killer tone and it fits so well. Not to take away from your work, but it's too bad Tumbleweed doesn't come around anymore. I'd love to hear what kind of sweet guitar he could lay down with this. I don't know that might be TOO relaxing. It would probably send people into meditative comas. Which, honestly, I could for one of those for about a week. Do a little catch-up down time, ya know?

Anyhow, excellent work. It's in the faves file.
Take care.

Hi there, thanks a lot for the listen and fav! Always good to get some feed back, that's what I love about this wee community. The 'pads' are actually a couple of accoustic guitar tracks. And yes, I know tumbleweeds skills, he's popped up once or twice over the last year or so. I'd love to hear him on this, or anyone for that matter. Thanks again.

Awesome track ! Ive already been a big fan of ambient / chill down. Its really hard to find those lush pad sounds and mix them perfectly, but you’ve nailed it here. Faved for sure
Zootman
Zootman replied 15th Jul 2022 - 2 years ago
thanks for the listen, comment and fav man, much appreciated. the 'pad' sound is actually a couple of accoustic guitars played by me, mixed together, double tracked, and panned, with a very long 95% wet reverb/delay on them, plus slowed down by at least a half.

Zootman replied 15th Jul 2022 - 2 years ago
thanks Wayne, yes i find it quite meditative myself. i wonder if somehow our minds realise that the sound source is comes from something physical rather than electronic like from a synth, and that helps with the vibe?

xstokes 13th Jul 2022 00:13 - 2 years ago
superb. the suspension you achieve in this track is real magic. i am taken by the gathering power and also the restraint, this rides the wave all the way thru. the way the bass sits in the mix is a pure vibe, and dude the emanations extracted from the gtrs are spectral and darkangel batshit beautiful. i love how much this in the eno/laswell tradition, but also has a unique and really postpunk postmybloodyvalentine sensibility.
the percussions really stretched the envelope too. fine music, man!

There is an eno-esque quality about this one from two eras. His early Evening Star, but also "An Ending Ascent".

Pretty hard to do ambient and not reference Brian Eno (One Brain) in some way. Thanks for the links, I listened to both, wasn't familiar with either though I have listened to a reasonable amount of Eno's ambient stuff (Ambient 4 and Before/After Science) were a bit of a fav. Thanks for the listen and commented man, much appreciated.

Dude this literally transformed my entire evening. seriously. There's some intangible ingredient in there somewhere....some vibe that wholeheartedly agrees with me. 9/10 on potential AD/HD relief alone. Thanks my guy
Zootman
Zootman replied 12th Jul 2022 - 2 years ago
That's great to hear. i have to admit to being quite pleased with the accoustic guitars (the main 'pad' type ingredient). They were slowed down by at least half, then I used valhalla supermassive for a big wet long reverb/delay with the dry audio 99% removed. sounds pretty organic to me, the way it swells, sometimes like strings, sometimes voices, sometimes breathing or sighing. Thanks for the listen and download.

Description : the other end of the scale from me, yep people, this is a ballad. its for all the people who have lost somebody long before their time was due,
i used my experience of tragic loss and how i hid my mental health issues that stemmed from it while writing it, its repetitive but has fresh verses
its to Matthias music Du Bist Nicht Mehr Hier almost the same title, He has suffered too that's why he wrote the music and dedicated it to his brother. i hope i have done it justice

Description : Depression and sadness can sometimes serve as motivation for creativity as in the case of this track. A few months back I went through a period of loosing a few friends and co-workers. Attended a few funerals and as a result found myself reflecting on life. One night I had the urge to try to transfer my feelings into music and this is what came out. Some baratone guitar accompanied by synth and accapella.
Final EDIT: Further tweaking on levels and a slight change up in the timimg of the choir section.

Description : Hello,
this is a track between composition and cover.
Amandine (Sova Berry or Dine on soundcloud) made a cover of the a cappella "Song of Sophia" by Dead Can Dance.
I liked it very much, so i decided to make an instrumental with her vocals.
Hope you'll like it and if you want to comment, you are welcome, whatever you think.
