Description : First fixes are in. More to follow.
================
The song feels to me a bit like it could be on stage in a musical. It's a bit theatrical... I like it, but the next one might well be a rock song ;)
It's also clearly rather rough (let's call it a "live" feel) but I need to get it out there to clear my mind because there are other songs that want to come out :)
All instruments & vocals recorded live at home, without samples.
I will probably deploy some fixes over the next days...
Description : To get myself going again, after a track with an acapella, here's me going crazy (and fairly unfiltered) on the instruments. Just having fun - it's not perfect, but I hope it has loads of energy and makes your toes curl and your nose twitch (or vice versa).
Description : W000000000000000000000000000000t!!!
With a mastering masterclass by the awesome Manuela and Angelica!! Give it another listen and be astounded - my track suddenly has bass!
==========================================
Inspired by a challenge: "make a track that has a sick, groovy, funky, massive, dirty, retro, pumping or hypnotic bass line. Keep it between 100 and 150bpm."
Oh! And this is also partially inspired by a track by xstokes that's itself quite different :)
Description : Another track on the upcoming EP... several of you have already added my account on your Spotify or iTunes or Deezer or Sneezer or whatever they're called and thank you so much, keep doing that please!
Oh! And if you are on Spotify... spam your track to mne here and I add you to my playlist!
Description : This track is now remastered and will be out on streaming platforms soon. If you could go to the spotifies and itunes and see if you can find my account and follow it... that would be MASSIVELY appreciated (heart emoticon)
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 : Monday afternoon I had the devastating news that a far away friend is diagnosed with cancer (treatable, but still).
These are the moments we want to be with our friends, hug them, talk, cry, maybe laugh. But sometimes we are far from our friends and family, and that's not so easy.
But we are creators, and we can always let them know how we feel with a song. This one is for you, Cindi.
================
Here's a rare video of me performing it :)

Description : Now out as part of an EP on Spotify, iTunes and all the other ones. Thanks for all your encouragement, it means the world to me!
==========================
This particular poem consists of two 1000 year old Japanese "renga", short "word flowers" about the autumn rains. They inspired me... and I hope you will like them too.
Description : Everything is recorded live, so you probably hear that. It's also all me :$
Thanks to everyone who contributed in explaining what I did wrong in the engineering, mixing and mastering, especially Ben (bringerofDOOM). Looperman is truly an awesome community and thank you all. Did I say you guys are awesome?

Now also with a clip on youtu.be/ydQiJAV3DX0 !
