RE: Steemit open mic week 84 - Paper thin - Original song

in #openmic7 years ago

Fåaaaarq! That was brilliant bro! As in , the song itself is a fantastic song!
I also dug the way you did the looping, seemlessly in the build of the song making it very musical.
Normally artists that do looping take a long time to build the layers before they initiate the actual song, which isn't very musical as far as songcraft goes. That's why I enjoyed the way you did it.
I was early in the looper scene in the early 2000's, but stopped doing it because I didn't like being locked into one time signature and also when I realised I could play all the instruments I liked simultaneously, but I'm starting to get back into it again...
Anyway, great to see someone do it in an artful way and still honour the song itself. That takes great talent.
Well done mate!
Blessings and smiles

Wow brother, this is really high praise coming from you! Thank you so much!!

That's exactly why it took me so long to release this, I love looping, but it can be a little tedious for the listener if you take a minute to build the layers, I have been trying to master my tempo so that I can record anything anytime.

As you might know it's way easier to keep track of the tempo if you record the beat at the beginning and then go for everything else, but sometimes that's it's not as musical as I want, and for this song I wanted to start small and build I the right order, so it took some time to figure out the order and a lot of time to master the timing of everything I wanted to do hehe.

I can't wait to see what you do with looping, you're already a beast at what you do!!!! 😀
