Better than most first loop songs here. I have no suggestions others have not already given. Welcome to MacJams. |

Impressed It didn't sound like loops at all for the most part...especially the guitar ( or was that real?) and the piano. Nicely done...well mixed and nice changes. |

nice mix even tho it's just loops, the way that you assembled them shows off your background as a musician, i think. great 'performance' |

Great track Moody and reflective. Nice work. I like the acoustic guitar licks near the beginning. The drums come in a little gradually -- well done. Seques between "thoughts" are well-executed. The elementary school where I teach has a large number of HI students, so I am accustomed to having an interpreter in my room. I almost always wear a mic when I teach, because so many classes have 2 or 3 HI students. So I have learned to find ways to help them out. I am putting on a concert with my 2nd-graders this next week, and I just finished getting a demo CD and complete lyric sheet to my interpreters team. It was time-consuming, but it's got to be done, if the interpreters are to have something to work with ahead of time. Nice track, Magritte. |

awesome this was a great mix. i think the only reason it got such a low rating was because it was made using loops... but it was very cool |

Impressive.... Your ear for music is amazing. I have GB and have heard most of these loops but I could never arrange them in such an expressive way...Loving your style..... |

Hi Magritte I like this, I am not a trained musician I just play things by ear. (well somethimes I use my fingers as well). II do find this whole loops debate interesting. The way I see it is like this, It's what you do with the loop in a creative way that counts. This song is creative. Surely It's what you create that counts! - What comes from the heart & mind. Well done - I love it! |

Very imaginative Must've taken a lot of labor to build such a refined work with LOOPS. And look st your song list now. I like it because it reminds me of home, "Ocean Beach, San Diego's best kept secret" Thanks for sharing. I did check out your blog. Now THERE is a lot of work. -steve |

Personal Triumph Magritte, you've used those loops very tastefully. I did a song with mostly loops and it came out nowhere near as well organized as this piece. The mix sounds great and I really have no suggestions on that. Composition wise, the song reminds me of someone who's trying to overcome some seemingly impossible obstacle and, in the end, succeeds, but not without a few pitfalls along the way. Speaking of the ending, I kept wanting to hear a reverse piano note for the finish instead of drums, like at the end of Bela Fleck's song "UFO Tofu." But that's just my ear. This is a great use of loops and I hope to hear more music like this as I listen to your other compositions. |
Overall a pleasant ambience although the piano / drum
rhythm at the outset felt a little disjointed. Other than
that, I thought the changes flowed well and the
arrangement was good.
