thank you sir

dajama said 270 days ago
Do you ever sleep?
Man, you are an endless ( and endlessly inventive!) source of music and ideas. This is great, and so different from Unfettered or Lunar Eclipse. This is a blast - had me grooving. Good sound - great beats, and very cool voices. Nicely done. Peace.

i think i was suffering from insomnia during this phase.

one of the instruments in the Remix JamPack has voice samples triggered by each key. i recorded the voices track live by improvising on the keyboard. it got kinda wild towards the end.

thanks

hello VW
same question as dajama .... do u sleep and where do these wacked out crazy wonderful ideas come from .... this is very cool indeed !!

SmokeyVW said 179 days ago
.
at this point i'll claim it was just work-related stress and leave it at that.

thanks!

Really good.


Hi This is really funky I was expecting the voices to about to announce rocket about to lift of- love the voices and yeah i think this is also a good dance tune as well.

Peace Dee.

i almost considered editing the voice track to say more complete phrases - but i ended up leaving the first take as it was.

this song is fun to hear played LOUD

thanks for listening!

lavalamp said 269 days ago

maybe i overplayed that one "music" sample? :-)

thank you

michael2 said 268 days ago
nice
day for a breakdown. i like this very much. nice treatment on the vox (so many different sounds). this is a really in depth mix and i like.

SmokeyVW said 179 days ago
.
the voice loops were all triggered by the keyboard - by playing lots of notes and chords real fast you can sculpt really dense vocal cacophonies.

this song is possibly an exaggeration of "Voices" http://www.macjams.com/song/29157

i fear this song may have been treading too close to insanity - or a bad trip

thanks

magnatone said 266 days ago
Great!
You are so prolific - I wish I got so many great ideas and could carry them out the way you do! This is WAY cool - love the announcer voice. This is pretty brilliant Mr. Smokey sir!

SmokeyVW said 179 days ago

i'm glad you liked it.

strange times, then.

thanks
