What an uplifting track!! It has a kind of energy to it, it kind of keeps building inside, lifting your soul... Greaty sound, mix and production work... maybe I could play on one of your tracks. What do you think? Add a melody line? I will send you my email....

Cheers Slap...

on Why I Am So Fat by meestege

I love this song.... It's witty and honest, this is also reflected in the stripped back instruments (what more was needed? nothing! It's perfect). Great lyrics and playing all round...

Cheers Slap...

meestege replied Unknown

Thank you Slap
What started as a joke seems to be our biggest hit on Looperman. This was just done in one evening. With other songs we spent a lot of time on the sound and the mix. Sometimes the best way is to keep it easy.

on Silent Night, presented by Slap and Six by Sixfingermusic

Wow Six, it's September but that makes me feel the Christmas spirit coming on. Great arrangement and playing from the six finger Santa, I'm glad you managed to fuse my parts in (hope it didn't take too long)! It will be interesting to see what happens from here on now this has thrown the cat among the pigeons.... All the best to you Buddy...

Cheers Slap...

on My Funny Valentine *Featuring SlapJohnson* by PedroCasillas

Hey pedro, It's great to play on standards, but to have a standard played with such skill as you have shown on this is a dream! I play standards all the time, and they give the humble jazz musician the material to work,develop,create and put food on the table..

A lecturer I know told me this story. At the graduation of his year, he pulled his class of musicians into an empty classroom to wish them good luck now they had finished their studies with him. He asked them to raise their hands if they would session for Sting, all hands went up. He then asked who would work on a cruise liner in a band, all hands went up. He then asked who would play the northeast club circuit, only a few put their hands up. He then asked who would play at the local Italian pasta/pizza place, one hand was raised. He trned to that one person and said "You will be a professional musician and will always work". He turned to the rest and said " I feel you should all find other work outside of music"..

I think a bright future is just around the corner for you my friend..

Cheers Slap...

PedroCasillas replied Unknown

wow thanks alot mate :) - i hope to do something with my 'BMus(hons) Jazz' which will enable me to put food on the table. when I get back from my lengthy hiatus i'm gonna hunt you down and force you to mentor me haha ;)

but its such a privilege to play with such an accomplished musician, who'd have thought this virtual musical connection could have came from me merely trying to find some loops haha, we are the north east virtual jazz scene haha.

btw who's this lecturer? I had a lecturer who liked to bang on about sting a bit haha

thanks alot Slap

on Pulchritudinous *Featuring SlapJohnson* by PedroCasillas

i just had to play on one of your tracks (you are the jazzman).
You are one hell of a pianist and musician my new found friend, and I enjoyed playing and hearing every note of this work... Thank you for allowing this to happen, my life is fuller with your music in it...

Cheers Slap...

PedroCasillas replied Unknown

maaan, you really made the track, thank you so much, i'm not really a pianist by any means, i did guitar for me degree but i just prefer the sound of piano, but dude i'm gonna try make some more originals for you, but if theres any standards you really like, or if you'd like me to pick i'll make some backing for you, i've got all the real books n fake books on me computer so nowts a bother.

+ does the song go tenor - soprano - flute - tenor?
i absolutely adore the flute solo!

thanks again

on Espirito Santo by PedroCasillas

Genius from front to back. I just love this style(Bueno fista social club). You and I need to work on a track (me thinks). I love Keith J's playing also (the only thing that spoils it, is when the mic picks him up singing along in that funny voice).

Cheers Slap... Only 50 miles south of you...

PedroCasillas replied Unknown

hey dude, yeh i'd deffo be up for doin a track, gimmie a style, tempo, genre, key and i'll provide you a cool backing to jam over,

also I think keith's little noises and whines are brilliant haha, however a large census seems to dictate that i am the only one who thinks so haha

on Tell Me A Secret by TraXnCtrl

Hi traxnctrl,wonderful arpeggio synth lines and super sounds filtering through.. I feel the vocal volume is just a little down in the mix, if you can bring it forward just a touch that would be cool... It's still a great track as is!! Cheers Slap...

TraXnCtrl replied Unknown

Hi Slap
Thanks for you review
I was worried that the vocal was too strong, particularly at the start where there isnt as much going on, but I used 2 tracks and I think it might be the single word track with the delay that might need the boost.
Thanks again
Trax
