Good space in the song with all that's going on. Mix sounds great! I like the spoken word you added, adds to the track along with the female bkups, well done man!!
Hey Wayne - thanks mate - yeah I was happy with the mix - I just clocked up 3 years on LM this week and despite all Ive learnt an still making the same mistakes and needing to put some structure and variation into songcraft - long live the slow learners - at least I can listen the humps for some inspiration
Hi Ian, great job! It's a feast for the ears. However, sometimes I have the feeling that the actual text fades into the background. But that is just my personal opinion. Others may see it differently. Apart from that, the mix and playing with the effects is extremely well done! This is class! Kind regards, Manuela
Hey Manuela - yeah the text requires some determined listening - I did tweak it up and down but it settled here on the boarder of discernable. Thanks for the warm feedback
great to here you mate, wow outstanding clarity, great vocal track, love spoken word, the harmonies are tight, great subject matter humans are the worst thing this planet will ever have to host, we take too much. we have reintroduced beavers, first time in 400 years in the UK, they have just been left to regenerate and what a massive difference its made to the eco system, control water and floods introducing of lots of insects and righting the balance, we need to give nature a massive break its Humans that need to change, i like the what sounds like a treated didgeridoo, a native instrument, great job
Hey Paul - thanks for the warm feedback - I think Im covering my lack of songcraft with spoken word again but it nice that people appreciate the track and I just wish I had more time to reciprocate. Hope you are well
Well now! this has got to be the most creative, innovative, interesting, track I have heard on the loop that just made me smile from ear to ear WOWWWW!! what a track!...EPIC! to say the least, I just wonder why this isn't in the featured section, it is the BEST! thing I have heard in a long time & loving the vocals & those harmonies are mellifluous just brilliantly!/intelligently produced. OUTSTANDING!
Thanks Angelus for such a lovely warm comment - Ive featured now in response. Ive been making small or quick things lately as I dont have much time and while its always nice to get feedback much of my recent experiments are 'b' grade so dont want to stretch my friendships here and abuse the good loopermen and looperwomen's ears : )
from the get the strings enveloped me in a wave of deja vu. its a magical piece, a fiercely expressionist portrait of someone weve all passed by beneath a streetlamp on a bridge somewhere.
Hey Mike - thanks mate - it's a somewhat forlorn mood, an atmosphere imbued by a sense of loss and days gone by, that I was connecting with in this one. Started with striking some harmonics on the open tuned taylor and built up from there with multi-tracking and various treatments (as is my habit)
Hey my friend, your work is always a breath of fresh air, I don't come across anything else like it, really. And this one's deep, as well. All of us have times where we feel like those words are our reality. Thanks for sharing. -Aaron
Sorry for the slow response mate - hope you are well and thank you for checking this one out and the warm feedback, i will of course return the ears given and catch up on your latest : )
Hey Neal - thanks mate for stopping by to listen and the warm feedback - sorry to hear you had a bit of shit year - this track was somewhat influenced by sudden grief and loss experienced by friends around christmas - hence the choice of the sombre spoken word reflecting loss and the grim acceptance of the curve ball that life can throw into our field. Ill return the courtesy and give your track a listen and comment shortly - Ian
love spoken word as you know mate, had me from the opening second, never mind, never mind, short but great are you going to extended it or incorporate it into something else its worth it. and thats why i switch up genres, dont want to get bored, nice work, keep experimenting
Hey Paul - thanks for the warm feedback mate - I'll think this will stay as a little dirge but maybe what Ive learned in making it will influence some future effort : )
I'm going to jump lol because Simon says. Everything is pretty sad on description except for the being alone part I like being alone the best company is your own I'm a funny guy. Different man I like it with no drums too I didn't even notice until the end I like the little country western you put in it
Hey CC - Ive been away most of the week so probably missed a stack from you - will have a look and listen shortly. Thanks for checking this one out - yeah i get board with making tracks the same way so try different instruments and methods to try to find something fresh (for me) - as the old joke goes I like both kinds of music, country and western.
Thanks mate - the key didnt quite fit in some of this so took some careful listening and shifting to make it work - I think I got it all together okay in the end - it's different!
Not like the pop songs I have heard before. This is a deep acoustic sound experience that travels through space and time while leaving awesomeness in its wake. Nice smoothed out chilled sound. Excellent performance.
Thanks for listening and the warm feedback - it's unconventional, not really got my act together when it comes to structure in composition, but I was happy with the sound
ace mix on this, love them disorienting akais! the bass has a super woody tone, nice fingering there. a whole passel of guitars create a knotty ambience the other sounds flicker around like a Van de Graaff generator. this has a restorative quality i quite needed before heading in to work tonight. and coincidentally i have al green lined up for my commute, look what youve done eh? hope youre bringing in the new year in fine fashion my friend!
Hey Mike - yeah happy with the mix - took a bit to find the right compression. Al green - what a voice - sometimes let down by the choice of material (in my view) but with the right stuff unbeatable Ive flown across the country to our west coast for the start of the year - 30 degrees (c) here so off for a swim shortly - hope you have a great new years eve and year!!
Hello Ian, I hear that you put a lot of work into the design, the mix and also the mastering. And I have to say it was worth it! I like this jazzy and, on the other hand, the dreamy character paired with a very soulful flair that the song conveys. When I listen to it I get a slight floating feeling, something slightly trance-like. The gentle rhythm, the clear but unobtrusive sound, the voice, everything fits together wonderfully. Great song, not at all boring despite the length. I think you lose your sense of time when you listen to it intensively. Kind regards and a happy and successful New Year Manuela
What a fantastic piece you created here. The arrangement is unique and works superbly well with the vocals. So much soul beaming off of this, and the jazz elements mixed with the beautiful vocals make for a fantastic listen. Great work, adding to the favs!
Hey - thanks for listening - its one for submersing yourself in and getting lost in the sound but 5 minutes is a commitment - took a bit to balance the mix and it is weird but as you know I like to experiment. The 412 riff is bit I like best!
Hey Buddy - yeah just a little example of our work together - didnt seem to get much interest and I dont have much space left for uploads so deleted it Thanks for checking it out though : )
Hey CC - yeah I was thinking about how good you are at fitting the vocals in to your tracks when I was doing this but I dont have your discipline so the whole track is a bit loose - but that is kinda indie too hey - it probably does need some tweaking
That's good that your mood changes with genres. Great way to evolve your musical ears!! This is great man vocals fit on the money love the soundscape sounds
Thanks again mate - I like the sound of this one too but it still doesn't sound finished (like half of my tracks) : )
It's 40 minutes to christmas here and Im in need of sleep but will definitely give your tracks my ears in the morning so be posting some feedback soon (ish)

You're pretty good with working with female vocals I like the drum and bass percussion on this very different and unique.

Yo Ian, 5 minutes well spent in my opinion. Lush, immersive and dreamy, mix sounds great. Happy new year to you!

Man, that's a fascinating track. Loads of weirdness and bits flowing in and out of focus. Lovely stuff!
Commented on Just a fool by pseudoble
Hahaha I know the feeling. I've long grown accustomed to having to delete tracks here to keep it manageable so YouTube is my long-term history.
This is the perfect place for experiments though and if people don't seem to like it... I try not to care. The main thing is whether I like it ;)
Commented on Just a fool by pseudoble
Didn't I see you also post a drill rap by a 15yo or was I just dreaming? It sounded promising in my dream!
Commented on Just a fool by pseudoble
Yay for 7yo boys :)
Some lovely weird sounds Ian - it all works together and it's really exciting!
Merry Christmas!

Very 70s but not sure if vocals fit on this one. But also don't know this genre. Well I guess they do. U definitely a black belt in music!
