Description : Experiment in minimalist repetitive ambient. Chopped up a gamelan loop by Nostalginc, duplicated it, time stretched one of them to bring it in and out of sync and hence mess with your heads. Added synth percs etc.

Hey Chris, very much and Oriental sounding track with bells n chimes, used have pheasants back in my home town in OZ so can say I've actually plucked pheasants lol, listening to this in lower vol, which makes it sound like a great chillout piece, very nice work mate fav'd Peace mosaic
I'm not the pheasant on the pheasant plucker son I'm only plucking pheasants till pheasants pluckers come! I have no clue but I will let's listen lol oooOOO intro scary mysterious sucking me in! I think like when no drums music. Take me on Journey. That sound is really haunting and it's so cool when you got it moving from one side to the speaker to the other it's so cool I'm going to have to get this if it's available!!!
Yo CCC, you got it man. I thought the title fit the feel pretty good. In my bad old days, we used to play a drinking game using Pheasant Plucker, you can probably imagine what mistakes it translates to after a few rounds. Anyway, thanks for the listen, fav and download.
Hi Chris im back.
Nice sound.
uhhhmmm you try to to hypnotize us uhmmm ??
I hear a sound that sounds like a mean laugh like you got us and now you can make us do whatever you want lol
About that one track of mine.
I just can't find it anymore.
I'm afraid I put it on my external drive and I can no longer open all the tracks on there.
Not even if I put them back on my PC.
Then you will have to use the MP3.
Sorry.
You are in my power, you will do exactly as I say lol. Was thinking to make another just so I had the chance to call it Pleasant Fucker ha.
No worries about that track, I had a feeling you wouldn't be able to find it. Will see what happens and if I find time or inspiration. Thanks for trying.
Hey Chris, this is a interestingly "hypnotic" composition you have here. I guess you and I on some level share a fondness for creating minimalistic tracks lol! Love the time stretched loop that comes in and out periodically, it adds a nice eerie effect to the track. A very creative, experimental / enjoyable listening experience.
Greetings, thanks for the listen and fav and for taking the time to comment. Glad you enjoyed. Given your water inspired track here at the moment, maybe you should check out mine...pretty much a love song to water. All the best. Oh, it's called Water Treatment.
Hello Chris,
thank you for the detailed answer. I always find it very interesting to hear or in this case read where the motivations for creating a song come from. Crucethus is absolutely right! You can really do almost anything in music. But I think you almost need a mathematical sensitivity when you make a song like that. I'll stick with it, the song is very good!
Have a nice weekend Manuela
Hello,
but you didn't do it. Your playing with synchronicity and asynchrony has resulted in the repetitions making everything synchronous again. So nothing got messed up in my head. Timing is too consistent for that overall.
Well, the song or should I say the experiment, your sound games, have something more of a trance-like quality to them. The small built-in nuances lead you to literally look for other variations. So it's definitely not boring. Even though, or perhaps even because, nothing contrasting is happening in this sound image, it captivated me. I'm really surprised. Well done, best wishes Manuela
Hi, well there they go again, the best pair of ears on looperman! Yes I think it comes back into sync about three times over the length of the track. So not too asynchronous. The trick was to find the right level for the stretched track so it didn't end up just a mess, but you could still track its progress if you leaned in and listened. I think it was Crucethus who said to me once that you could do what you wanted melodically but if you messed with peoples sense of rhythm you were in for trouble.
Actually, the thing started after a conversation with Micky who referenced Terry Riley in relation to one of my other tracks. After that, I found this utube documentary on minimalists which I really enjoyed. It talks about using old tape machines and loops with long delays that eventually threw stuff out of sync but also after a while added various noise artefacts too. Terry Riley and LeMont were also quite influenced by eastern philosophy and religion too so that spiritual dimension also appealed to me.
Long winded response, but for once I'm typing on the computer rather than the phone!!
For some reason this brought to mind Chinese insects building a dam. The background synth is a bit ominous & lonely. Like Dresden after the Allies bombed the crap out of it. So basically this is Chinese Insects building a dam after a bombing raid. That's why I love this track.
love the ambient charm in the intro Chris the whole track is minimalistic but you added great percs which keep the listener interested it has a haunting feel to it at times nice mix and the outro was cool, well done bro experiments are always good Ian used to always bring them, and because its different, i call it creative, it appeals to me
Description : Headphones are recommended for a more immersive experience :P - - - A weary American soldier is walking through the remains of what used to be a small town in the middle east, only to rediscover the horrible reality that sometimes war can affect even the ones who have no part in it.

This is my first attempt at creating a virtual environment to tell a story and convey emotion. Hope you enjoy! Comments are welcome!
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 : This track contains several loops, all of them are from looperman artists - listed below. I don't know if "ambient" fits well for it, but i get most loops from that category. :)
Inspired by the Final Fantasy series and my ex girlfriend. Hope you will enjoy it (not my ex! :D). As always, free to use for a song, any opinions-critics welcomed... UPDATE 2015.10.24.: improved audio quality - lower lows, higher highs. Now in 256kbps!
Description : Working with DarkKZ by Beatskillz, Synthmaster 2.9, Waves Bass Fingers, Microtonic drum synth, Izotope nectar 3 elements, Ozone 8 Elements & several other plugings I'm trying for the first time. The vocal samples are from Ghosthack, LANDR & Sampleswap. Hope you like it. Cheers.
Post script: The word "Ambient" has come up several times in the comment section for this, so I switched the genre to that. Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it.
Description : Ambient, psychedelic chill out rock or something or rather. Lyrics, vocals, guitars and keyboards myself. One drum loop used (free Loopmasters ambient pack). If you want a bit of a back story on the words check the lyric page.
Description : I made this with Garageband and was inspired by Anime music, such as Naruto. And if you noticed one little part is very similar to one of the melodies.
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.
Bye
Description : Ambient, Chill Out, Cinematic .... I´m not sure ... Take your headphones. Close your eyes. Start the engines and have a ride into the unknown. A spacy little trip from somewhere into anywhere outside. - U_P_D_A_T_E - I made a video to this track. So you can enjoy now the flight with open eys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON4u0bRZJ4k
Good stuff my antipodean friend!
Pheasant plucker, pleasant fucker, ha!
World music to me, I like this kind of stuff.
