In the 1980s I had Christians friends from the YMCA. One bough me a Keith Green album I loved the songs on that album.
Thats why I give my loops to people to help them out. Give and don't ask anything back.
I loved the worship song brother very nice.

Hi, Darren.

Thanks for such a heartfelt message, and I couldnt agree moreKeith Greens music has left an incredible legacy of touching hearts and inspiring acts of love and generosity. Its amazing to see how that same spirit lives on through your giving nature.

Since you mentioned him, I took some time to browse the internet and watch some of his songs and interviews. Hes such a cool and inspiring figure! His raw talent, worshipful spirit, and profound insight truly stand out. I wish I had his gift and passion.

Thank you for sharing your loops so selflessly! Its a true gift to the music community. Id be honored to explore your loops and see if theres something that resonates with my style. When I do, Ill definitely let you know and make sure youre credited for your contribution. It would be a privilege to create something meaningful using your work.

Looperman is a special space where generosity and creativity come together. Lets keep that spirit alive and continue to inspire and uplift one another!

Send me some vocals, and depending on the tempo, I'll pick a genre that fits the feel and the message. Please print the audio on the downbeat, even if it's a measure ahead.

Unexpectedly at first, but now i 100% know what ill get when i see youve posted something. Its always good and thats because your work comes from a very pure place.

Hi Richard,

Once again, you've created a song of very high quality. While the lyrical content might be debatable, it doesn't have to be, as people can simply have different opinions. The music is truly excellent. Do you have any songs without this slightly missionary undertone? *Smile. Please don't be offended by this expression, but that's just how I am. I mean, I can understand if someone is religious and wants to share their beliefs with the world. But are there really no other topics for you? Humanity is currently destroying itself and the planet. I can't believe this is a test from God and that the solution to these problems lies in reverence for Him. Therefore, I also have my doubts about His mercy. I believe that an appeal to human reason to stop the madness is more important and effective! We all need to change, to ensure that wars, violence, hunger, environmental sins, etc., finally come to an end. If we ourselves are not merciful, we will soon have no opportunity to honor a God.

Sorry for the serious words.

Best regards,
Manuela

Hi Manuela,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and kind words about the music! I really appreciate the time youve taken to share your perspective. Its always great to hear different viewpoints on the lyrics, and I understand where youre coming from. Music can be such a personal experience, and I respect your interpretation.

Most of the songs that carry themes like you mentioned are from my older rap days, and to be honest, those tracks were pretty rawlots of anger, vulgarity, and dark, rebellious energy haha. I'll dig them up someday and share them with you so you can see a different side of me!

A little backstoryI worked as a Search and Rescue officer from 2014 and headed some Internally Displaced Camps between 2015 and 2019. Those years were intense, and my experiences in those environments definitely shaped a lot of what I write about. You get to see the world from a very raw, unfiltered angle in those situations, and it really pushed me to talk about the issues that affect peopleespecially the most vulnerable. Its a long story, but yeah, my past experiences and upbringing have led me to where I am today. Ive often found myself feeling like just one person trying to make sense of whats wrong in the world and wishing I could do something to help. But sometimes, you know, it can take its toll. Its a complicated journey, and Im still navigating it.

As for the missionary undertoneI completely get what you mean. Its never my goal to push any particular agenda; I just want to express ideas that resonate with people on different levels. But I agree with you that we need to address the real, urgent issues facing humanitywhether its environmental destruction, social injustice, or the countless other challenges we face. These are things that definitely weigh on my mind, and I believe collective action is key to bringing about change.

Regarding other topics, absolutely! Ive written songs on themes of human reason, hope, and the power of change, and Id love to share some of those with you soon. Art, for me, is often about opening doors to new ways of thinking, so I definitely have more to offer in that regard.

Thank you again for your honesty and for the thoughtful conversation. No need to apologize for your perspectiveit's important to talk about these things, and I really value your insights.

Best regards,
Richard

Thank you, Kay0s. I truly appreciate the encouragement and insightful feedback. Im also thrilled you enjoyed the track and found the vocals to stand out.
Your suggestion about adding a rap section is fantastic; I can already imagine dropping some rhythmic bars in the third verse. Its definitely tempting and could bring a fresh dynamic to the song. Ill keep it in mind for a remix or future projects.
Thanks again for your continued support and for always inspiring me with great ideas.

Ah the Shekari Soother is back! This track showcases your voice incredibly well, Richard. Vocally this is right at the top of your tracks. I did however have a flash of feeling to elongate it and insert one of your raps because I know you can rap so well. Kay0s

Description : This is my little 16-bar sketch of a Soul-style track... my purpose in making this was to experiment with Melda's MDynamicEQ, which allows you to remove resonances, and to apply EQ's from one track to another. I even EQ'd this thing to sound like a 70's jam.

Description : Here is another track we are currently working on for my forthcoming album, "Songs from the Closet, Vol.1"

Ed Cunningham was gracious enough to provide this composition to me for which I'm grateful. It's a groovy track and the lyrics, for the most part, wrote themselves. My project co-producer and I are working out the vocal arrangement. As per usual, this track isn't mixed. I repeat, it is a rough vocal and isn't mixed. I hope you enjoy the listen!
