Scholz Rockman?! Holy cow! Anyway, how about a "live" comment (written as I listen)... OK, first impression is this might be my favorite song in this genre. LOVE the sound. Love the transitions. I'm jammin' here. Love the mix of different themes. Wondering what's looped and what's not: GREAT sign. Love the synth lead about midway through. Nice jazz feel here at the end with some wonderful guitar. Crap, I can't find anything to complain about. Beautiful work. Check out my latest song called Pearls of Perfection

Scholz Rockman?! I know! Can you believe it! I reached back far. I needed a preamp and since I was doing this in bed and the Rockman came to mind. I didn't want to use my guitar rig so I had to rummage deep in one of my chests for it. Thanks for the comments! The piece was influenced solely by the synth pad at on the first section. I built the whole tune around it. Often a loop or sound will drive me to create something around it. It's like a launching pad for ideas. Ok so what was looped. Here's what was NOT: The time delayed pizzicato guitar fills in the beginning; the octave pedal synth lead in the first section, the disco rythym guitars during the guitar solo outro and of course the guitar solo. Please note: the chicken picked funk rythym guitar is a loop, which is fairly well known in GB. What attracts me to GB is the challenge of using what's there and creating something new. While I appreciate the ability to use GB as a synth module/MIDI unit live it's the challenge of making something out of the constraint of the prexisitng loops. It's similar to collaborating with someone on a tune. It's as if someone wrote some fragments and said; "Here's what I got so far, see what you can come up with." Fun...

Thick! I love how this song seems to just fill up my speakers with electronic ambience! Great production and fluid sound. Another shining example how well loops can be used to compose a song. Check out my latest song called With You

Wonderful production The sound of this track is wonderful. And much of the playing (guitar, keyboards) is wonderful. Great ear for sounds. But by the end I was waiting to have the promise of the beautiful textures flow into some sort of melody or something to make it more like a song. In the end, it became a wonderful collection of sounds but no longer compelled. I look forward to future works in which you craft a melody or create a dramatic curve. 7-8-6-7.

Wonderful production Thanks! Great analysis! Yeah it really is more of a mood peice than a traditionally structured song form. I think there are a lot of take off points where a more traditional narrative arc could be created. I think there are 'mini' melodies and drmatic curves but nothing that stands out and has you whistlking the tune down while you walk down the street. Come to think of it; alot of the ELECTRONICA(Trip Hop, Down Tempo, Up Tempo, Lounge, House, Shag, Ambient Chillout Psy, Trance, etc.) does not leave one with a memorable melodic hook but more of a shape or mood. Thanks agoin for your comments. Check out my latest song called My Favorites

rich textures You integrate all the interesting sounds together very well into a pleasing whole. This track is especially neat to me because of the energetic beat combined with an almost symphonic sound. It creates a sense of urgency and expectation....what's around the next musical corner? I like the fading in and out; the transition to the second main section is wonderful! The harmonies are cool and jazzy; sort of reminds me of upbeat cocktail music there. Shades of George Benson and Pat Metheny. It seems like this song was two distinct sections. I like the flow from one to the other but perhaps each section could be separate songs in their own right, if developed more. I'm curious why you used that particular artwork. It's very nice but somehow the visual image didn't quite match the music, for me anyway. (Purely subjective...) GREAT job! Check out my latest song called EPONYM

Evocative To be honest, i think i've tried to use a few of these loops before but they havent turned out this great, that's why i haven't submitted any yet. I like this more funky version of the techno/dance genre, great job. |

But the painting is so. What does this remind me of? I forget. Anywhats, good job. Solid song. Which loops did you create and which not? Are they all stock? Even if so, splendid arrangement. Very subtle. Whoa. Nice middle part. Are you playing the keys? Herbie Hands to the miffin MAXX! Beyond the MAXX! Send me a note if you ever wanna collab. I LOVE the keys. I gotta say, I wish you dropped it after the synth keys. Piano and guitar was a bit much. Naturally, they are a testament to your great skill in these multiple areas, but I think you tried for too much with this song. In fact, I'm suspicious... was this two songs originally? Suspecticiously delicious, F Check out my latest song called Totally Hoany

But the painting is so. What? Uhhh...read from my earlier post in response to an EMail (The piece was influenced solely by the synth pad at on the first section. I built the whole tune around it. Often a loop or sound will drive me to create something around it. It's like a launching pad for ideas. Ok so what was looped.

Please note: the chicken picked funk rythym guitar is a loop, which is fairly well known in GB) So basically a fair amount of editing to get the syncro right. As for the outro, I kinda of like the piano and guitar...I don't think they're chop laden but to each their own:) As far as your follow up post...what is a 1- bomber? Thanks for your thoughts!
