This is great. Finish up a demo and get a professional producer to work with you on an album. At your age there's no stopping you! |

| Fate Astray by spootane | 4 years ago |
This is cool. I really liked the chanting style at the beginning (I guess that was the Hebrew?). I think the chanting over the double time bass guitar is something new and special. I think there's too much going on here for me to follow the song. By the time the spoken word Japanese comes in, you've lost me. I would love to hear more of the chanting/metal combination, with breaks for the lead guitar / atmospheric sound. You've really got something there.. |

| Chase the Cheese (preview mix) by MMI | 4 years ago |
This is a cool "soundtracky" kind of piece. Would be good driving music. Since you asked for some notes on mixing.. I think it's a little busy and there's not enough separation between the tracks. If you want it to be more 'clubby', you should introduce each element separately, i.e. have the drums come in clean followed by the bass, and then add each synth, and be a little bit more careful about having too many different elements going on at any given time. As far as EQ, I would pull the bass track and the kick drum, and double them with a nice low-pass filter and kick up the bass on the EQ so that you get that nice booming sub-bass kind of sound to fill out the mix. You could break down to just the bass |

| Forbidden (alannah acapella vocal challenge) by particledots | 4 years ago |
in the late 90's when i lived in LA, a fun little blond girl i knew used to drive across the mexican border and bring back big boxes of pills. they sort of sounded like this. |

| Wild Is The Wind by particledots | 4 years ago |
| nicely done. you can tell it's electronica, but it's not like a mac is farting in your face (unlike lots of my tunes).. biba you should an album of your icomp tunes.. |

| Pick Up by ChamberlainKillpage | 4 years ago |
| thanks so much guys! i was a bit nervous about this one because it's the first i've posted where i'm singing. also since someone asked me offline, the solo is me playing electric piano live through bitcrusher, amp, simulation, reverb |

| Our Sun Set by Geechi3 | 4 years ago |
lot of good songs this week, but this would get my vote for #1. it's the most current and i wouldn't blink if you told me it was off the latest massive attack or hooverphonic album.. my one constructive point would be that it could use a little more space between the vocal phrases, maybe a breakdown like what happens at the end earlier in the song, or to deconstruct a bit to some dry drums in the middle somewhere.. minor note, just thought that might help. cheers, great stuff. |

| Not to care by fromano | 4 years ago |
this song has a very genuine quality to it. very nice. thanks fro and 4 hours! that's amazing. i spend at least that long tying my shoes. |
|
| Lovin' Stone by Baboon | 4 years ago |
i really like hearing complete songs like this on icomp with a nice hook, chorus, and bridge. (mine are always missing 1 it seems  5 stars.everything sounds professional to me except the production on the vocals which sounds a bit thin. don't get me wrong, the production is very high in general and i dig the song. with a bit more warmth on the vox i could hear it on classic rock radio for sure.. great work. |

| Soulless by particledots | 4 years ago |
| furthermore, soul doesn't mean that a song has to sound like james brown. it means it has to come from the heart which this clearly does.. | |

love this!!! like sigur ros meets orbital.. this is what music should be like. plenty of soul to go around here. |
|
| Jackie by particledots | 4 years ago |
| where is the original? | |
| Jackie by particledots | 4 years ago |
beautiful. i love how the acoustic breaks into that echoed bit and how it overlaps with the spacey backing vox. i love these simple dreamy types of tunes. i just wish it was a little longer.. |

i love the sound on the bass. you recorded this in garageband? can you tell us a little more about the production? great job. |
|
| Falling Through The Black Hole Again by kripca | 4 years ago |
this is sweet. i love the little vocal sounding pads and the scratch sounds (i'm guessing those are samples?).. anyway nice high energy, feels like it should be on the sound track to grand tourismo or burnout.. |
|
| She'll Feel Alone by BossHook | 4 years ago |
i'd buy this album.. you've got a great sound developing here. definitely some tom petty / waits / springsteen and dylan all of which blend together nicely. |

| SECOND CHANCE BLUES by Barretok | 5 years ago |
Barre, enough with the talking, you need to sing, brother! Top marks for a seriously rippin' electric blues number. Anders, you definitely have the gift. Are you playing out at blues clubs? You should be. But in my opinion, this song really needs a huge singing voice to pair up with the guitar (even if it's just for a chorus or two). The spoken word stuff pushes it more in an experimental direction, while traditionally a blues number like this would have big howling singing along with it... |
|
| Confusione by EdMC | 5 years ago |
this is hot guys! reminds me of MC Solar / Guru's hit song from some years ago. i'd love to hear some r&b sounding vocals for a hook. love the elec guitar. i think it could be used more in the song and there could be less pads/synths/elec piano. those elements make it a little less current sounding for me. i'd like to hear the music in more of a trip-hop direction. very sweet song guys! keep 'em coming. p.s. - could someone post a translation of the lyrics? pretty please?? |
|
| Always by ChamberlainKillpage | 5 years ago |
| Hey guys, thanks for all the great comments on this song. We played it live last night and it was a big hit! Someone sent me this video (I think it's from a cellphone): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-Ap_Lc495Y (fast forward halfway to skip the talking) Sound is terrible and for some reason they recorded me talking forever and then it cuts out after the first verse. But I thought you guys would get a kick out of it anyway.. How many recordings of live performances of iComp collaborations can there be?? Cheers/Steve |

was this a late entry or something? there were only 25 pieces on the Mugcast or whatever it's called. It's too bad this is a really nice catchy song. |
|
| Always by ChamberlainKillpage | 5 years ago |
| Thanks guys. Look at that, we're on the charts! I should say that these lyrics were written for my girlfriend (everybody now: "Awwwww!")). She was feeling a bit down and unsure of things so I wrote her this little love song. Also I should again credit Krista on the vocals and Shu on guitar. I'm so lucky to have these two. If anyone can come down and see us live on Thursday that would be so cool (details above). I will totally buy a shot of tequila for any iComper who shows up at the gig! Cheers, you guys are the best. /Steve |

| ah there you are tommy. i had emailed this to you so you could post it, but i got impatient . anyway glad you all like it. yeah i'm having fun putting pop guitar and vox over these beats. i'm not sure what to call it.. |

| Look to the Horizon by itiswotitis | 5 years ago |
Great job guys. I thought the tribal chant stuff got a little pitchy in places, but overall you guys sound good together. I'd love to hear a proper verse/chorus structure with the more ambient vocal arrangements included in a bridge and/or intro.. But obviously that would require rearranging the music.. nice job. |
|

this is cool. sounds like the instrumental tracks off of phil collins' invisible touch. the brazilian and all that. also i hear a little phillip glass in there.. |

| ORANGE (in)balance by ORANGEAUDIO | 5 years ago |
totally old school. i love it! there was a desert rave culture in LA in the early 90's called MoonTribe and we'd candyflip to stuff like this all the time. you've taken the rhythms to another level of course. cheers/ck |

| First Draft by Nosniborus | 5 years ago |
sweet. how'd you do the tempo change in GB? i like the kickin distorto beat a lot. |
|
| Harsh by jmontoto | 5 years ago |
i like this. catchy, fun, and the arrangement is pretty cool. my only comment is that the voice seems a little darker in tone than the instrumental track. maybe darken up the arrangement or sing a little more open-throat.. good song though. /cham |
|
| ORANGE skin or 'Jesus was watching me' by ORANGEAUDIO | 5 years ago |
Coming back with style! Nice job Tommy. The vocal samples really kick it up a notch. I love when you start chopping up the guitar and playing with the order of the hits. What you need to develop on this one is the dynamic contrast between the sections. Build up the beat more in the beginning so that once we hit the break-down, it's more of a relief. Then in the break-down, go with some legato chords or pads and maybe in a different key to keep building the mood. I give it 5 stars in the iComp context, but I think if you worked on it a bit more it could be lounge/dance complilation worthy.. But never mind all that. Get to work on our new hit! /cham |
|
| Blackwood Swing by phigga | 5 years ago |
 I like this since it's 'real music' i.e. live instruments and no loops. I like the style and tone of the vocals, but the lead voice is pitchy in parts. Were all the parts recorded live at the same time? If not maybe go back and work on getting each instrument to occupy a particular space in the mix.. And do one more take on the lead vox. It's great to see people doing real recordings with GB. This sounds cool, I would go see this band.. Keep up the good work. /Chamberlain |

| Turin, 4.37 am by RAMZAR | 5 years ago |
fantastic, some real music. bravo. i'd love to see a little more dynamic variation. i know the avant-gard thing is to just blast away for the entire song, but i think a little more stucture would make it more accessible if in fact that's what you're going for. also i would throw in some super fast rolls and backwards drum hits to take it away from the branford marsalis sound and make it a bit more drum & bass ala amon tobin. again great tune. |

nice straightforward songwriting, very earnest. i could hear this on the soundtrack to a tv show (hopefully not one tree hill or i'll never hear it..) |
|
| Jazz on Altaïr (with John Stebbe) by LaFayette | 5 years ago |
this is such a nice change of pace. is that a garageband piano patch? sounds great.. the only thing i'd change is to bring out the guitar solo a bit. it sounds a little muddy to me and doesn't jump out in the mix. great job guys. you are a couple of cool cats. |
|
| just that look in your eye by j0j0 | 5 years ago |
this is really something special. it's clearly a classic rock tune, but somehow doesn't feel tired or played out. great job. real pro sounding vox and guitar. i wish people would be a little more discriminating in their ratings here on icomp so that when something like this comes out we could give it 5 stars and it would mean something! keep up the great work. /steve |

this rocks! 70's electronica all the way! (by the way i believe that was glaswegian, not 'australian') |
|
| COUNTERFIGHT by ORANGEAUDIO | 5 years ago |
nice mood on this one. is that electric guitar a loop or a software instrument? if it's an instrument, you should go a little farther with it. even just changing the voicing here or there would add a lot to the song. nice work. /stevie |
|
| A Single Stone by ChamberlainKillpage | 5 years ago |
| thanks everyone for all the unbelievable support and expertise. i'm going back to the old garageband to try and implement all these notes, and make sense of all the different opinions. sorry for the no download. i'm just not ready to open it up to the world beyond icomp just yet. -steve |

| A Single Stone by ChamberlainKillpage | 5 years ago |
| hey lily, thanks for the comment. i'm really more of an instrument guy than a lyricist which is why i used some verse from one of my mom's poems.. why didn't you like the lyrics? how could i improve them? thanks/steve |
|
| A Single Stone by ChamberlainKillpage | 5 years ago |
| thanks guys. was there a loop in the drums? i didn't know, i'll have to ask tommy.. i guess i should change the classification. even still it's one tiny loop amogst so many original tracks!! you can let us off just this once right? |
|

| A Single Stone by ChamberlainKillpage | 5 years ago |
| better than chem bros on the best tracks, wow! i have to admit i was looking for really poingant constructive criticism, but that's a compliment i'll take . thanks david. |
|
| A Single Stone by ChamberlainKillpage | 5 years ago |
| Hey, wow this is some great feedback, cheers to everyone for stopping by and giving a listen. The more I listen to it, the more I think this song needs some variation in the chords. I think I may go back to the drawing board a little bit and change the voicing in the chorus and add a bridge.. The vocal tracks are doubled with a touch of echo on one track and some different EQ's (still learning how to do this from an Ian R recommendation - thanks Ian..) Keep the comments coming, I'll make a list and then we'll post the final mix! -steve |

|
| Moonshine Fiasco by ORANGEAUDIO | 5 years ago |
| some constructive notes: instead of switching between parts that are so different, i think you need to stick with one style and add some chord changes. the drums (as always) are superb, but there wasn't enough structure to the song to hold my attention. i liked the almost depeche-mode sounding synth guitar riff. maybe stick with that but add some choruses and a bridge. (i'm being very critical because you're my favorite!) -steve p.s. i did some more recording over one of your tracks this weekend. get psyched! |
|
| Too Long To Chill by easyesteemer | 5 years ago |
| Nice one Easy. I'm a sucker for a good rhodes riff. But where did it go? I'd def bring back the piano, might help to structure the piece a bit too and carve out coherent sections. Also one more constructive note, the synths were a tiny bit DX7 for my taste, maybe just pull back the highs a little bit or add some distortion.. This piece is very Miami Vice (my favorite soundtracks ever were from this show). I mean really if we could wouldn't we all be Don Johnson cruising in a 400k ferrari wearing an Italian suit with the sleeves rolled up?? good job /killpage |

| Sweet little daughter of mine - NYC mix by ORANGEAUDIO | 5 years ago |
| Look we're number one going strong for a couple of days now! This is very cool. What a warm welcome to iComp, Tommy I credit it all to your unbelievable popularity (and of course your sick beats).. I just posted the other song that I recorded with Krista last weekend Slipping. So all my new icomp friends CHECK IT OUT!! You guys are the best. /Stevie (Chamberlain) p.s. Christo, the cellist, is a boy. Just so you know when you compliment his 'vibrado' |
|
| Sweet little daughter of mine - NYC mix by ORANGEAUDIO | 5 years ago |
| Wow Tommy, look at all this great feedback! Seems like we're really onto something here. Wait until they hear collab #2, (CODENAME: SINGLE STONE) it's gonna be hot! Hehe little tease for everyone. Thanks so much for sharing our song with all your friends on iComp. I'm thrilled that so many people got to listen to it and enjoy our work. Cheers/Steve (Chamberlain) |

| Sweet little daughter of mine - NYC mix by ORANGEAUDIO | 5 years ago |
| Hey everyone. Thanks so much for all the great comments & support! I heard this track from Tommy (the original is here: http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=28610) and I was very inspired by it. Tommy has such a gift for rhythm and texture. Thanks for letting me take a crack Tommy! I wrote some arrangements and brought in my friend Christo Logan who is a classically trained cellist to play those beautiful string lines (thanks Christo!!!). You can also hear my 1979 Fender Rhodes on here and I added some synth & bass from GB. (By the way everything was recorded stereo mic'd straight into GB). I thought it would be nice to stay with the Little Daughter theme (by the way, she's adorable), so these lyrics came to me. I just got the chance to bring Krista in to the studio this weekend, what a beautiful voice! We recorded two tracks, I'll post the other one soon. I'm also going to take a crack at another of Tommy's songs, probably in a few weeks. Really enjoyed this collaboration. Keep up the great work Tommy and everyone else. You all have a great community here at iComp, I'm happy to be included. Give the baby girl a kiss for me. Cheers/Steve (Chamberlain Killpage) |
|
| Spend My Time ('93) by MayBeHorizon | 5 years ago |
Tommy, who knew you had such a great voice?? You should sing on more of your songs. My only suggestion is that this song sounds a bit like two ideas strung together. The first is like a video game soundtrack, and the second sounds like a depeche mode song (those are both compliments!), maybe you'd think about arranging the song with vocals at the beginning and then an instrumental part for the bridge to make it a bit more cohesive? Anyway really enjoyed it. Keep it up! |
|
| 6 and a half minutes of relaxation by ORANGEAUDIO | 6 years ago |
| ah, i needed that. thanks tommy. a nice counterpoint to the hustle-bustle-muscle of nyc. as far as constructive criticism, this piece would totally work as a soundtrack or ambient element for some visual media. otherwise it could work as a clubby/lounge song if you added some percussion elements. try taking a d&b/techno/2step kind of beat and applying a hipass filter so that it's real thin and in the upper register, push it down low in the mix, and you'd have the soundtrack to every hip bar in downtown manhattan . bravo mon ami, keep at it. |
