| Brilliant playing and an excellent recording. | |
| Passengers ( demo) by Rusticalia | 3 months ago |
| A pleasant composition and well recorded. Good work! | |
| Two Were Told (Symphonic Version) by herrsolera | 3 months ago |
| Very inspiring. Love the acoustic guitar levels and Glassian ending. | |
| Original Rags (1897) by georgeptingley | 3 months ago |
| I like Rag Time music. I'm afraid the mechanics are bit over my head, I just know I like it. I use to have a neighbor who played it all the time on her old upright. She was in her nineties and was always ready to play. Anytime she ask me if I wanted to hear her play, I would always say yes. She was really good. This recording reminded me of sitting in her parlor and listening to her play Joplin. Thanks. | |
| The Rain Is in My Brain by Bob6stringer | 3 months ago |
| Nice recording. Don't keep them frets lonely! | |
| Regina Olsen (Deep Thoughts) by groaninboy | 3 months ago |
| I like this a lot. I wish the strings were louder. The vocals sound a little strange. Not unpleasant, just unusual. | |
| Life's Stiles by mick66 | 3 months ago |
| I like the low key approach. If you decide to add more, an acoustic would sound really nice. I know what you mean about time. I hope find more of it. | |
| Fire Tower ( rough) by Rusticalia | 3 months ago |
| I like the mix so far. I was taken aback at the start, though. Maybe a measure of just the guitar before the cello starts. I also agree with pete, if you tweak the cello track in various places it will give it more of a live sound. Can't wait to here the banjo mixed in. Nice work. | |
| Something in the Way She Moves by GoofyDawg | 3 months ago |
| That was really nice. You have good recording technique and great vocal ability. | |
| My Dancing Day Redux by mlpbadarak | 3 months ago |
| That was very enjoyable! How do you record? How many mics do you use? I'm no producer, just an amateur musician, but I think it needs to sound louder and more "separated". That's why I was asking about the mics. |
|
| Greensleeves by mlpbadarak | 3 months ago |
| Very nice. Please add more details. How are you doing this? Is this a live recording? It's sounding great so far, but the dynamics seem a bit jumpy. By that I mean the swells could be smoother. | |
| Grove St Jam #9 by RadioRebelde | 3 months ago |
| I dig it! I think the recording level needs to be "hotter". I had to turn it up pretty loud in order to hear it. |

 Great job, Rebecca! I love the evolution of this work. (Did that pun make you wince?)  |

| Thanks Bob! As soon as I get back to recording, I look forward to doing some more collabs with you. Thanks again, Mason |
|
| Farewell by Ziur | 1 year ago |
Well that was just awesome. I never think of vocals when I do these GarageBand arrangements, and what you've done really surprises me. It adds dimension to the music. I think it sounds fantastic! |
|
| Cradle the World by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thank you, dirigent. | |
| Still The Same by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thanks eagle_1, dirigent and you too, jeff. Boss, I take that as a compliment! James! The conspiracy is spread half way 'round the world by now. In my mind, I see it growing in the Himylayas, then taking shape in Europe, to New Jersey and beyond... Long live the Mondial Luddite Conspiracy! Thanks Dave, and you too, A! |

| ON THE ICY STREETS OF NYC by Barretok | 1 year ago |
Love the horn stabs mixed with that wandering guitar. Lyrics streaming backward recalling chaos into order. What was her name? |

Awesome. |

| On the Rampart by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thanks for the great comments! Some vocals, maybe a synth.... | |
| On the Rampart 1 by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thanks eagle_1, do you mean the tempo or the streaming? Thanks pharma, I really appreciate it. Checkout mbehar's contribution on "On the Rampart 2". | |
| Tongue Oil by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| UPDATE: We took a break. We really needed the breather. Still need to varnish the floors. Now I know why people say, "Lord willing". Because, you just don't know what's gonna be done 'til it gets done. With that said, and if the creek don't rise, I'll post my setup pics in a couple of weeks. | |
| 03 UFOs Over Lebanon, IL by electrosketch | 1 year ago |
| Thank you GhostRiders3. I'm just a little north of ya. We should plan an iComp Jamfest. How about a nice weekend in May or June? | |
| The River at Night by _mason_ | 1 year ago |
| Thank you! | |
| A Billion Light Years Away by _mason_ | 1 year ago |
| Mikee, SC and joodls: Thank you all very much. If you like this, be sure to check out bewil's version of this song. She makes me sound like the Moody Blues! You can find it under the heading, "With a Little Help From My Friends" on my artist's page. | |
| Night crow by TadashiTogawa | 1 year ago |
Great guitar! Cool drumming, too. |
|

| Janus on the Rampart 1 by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thank you! | |
| Cradle the World by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thank you all, and especially Geechi3. GR3, your comment makes me reconsider the title. I think we should change it to Cradle the World. Thanks again for all the great comments. They are truly appreciated. | |
| Help Wanted (Illuminated and Eliminated) by ddball | 1 year ago |
dd, I might give this a go. The tune might come out a bit different, if that's alright. |
|
| Janus on the Rampart by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thanks dd! I think the bass is what really makes it start to come alive. | |
| whensday blues by rhythmsickness | 1 year ago |
Just heard this on the iComp Radio! Great stuff. Just wanted to drop by and tell you how much I enjoyed it. |
|
| Largo by pandolfo | 1 year ago |
Awesome. Powerful. I really dig it. Totally cinematic. Very Grand. Largo. Thank you iComp Radio. I doubt I would have discovered this music otherwise. |
|
| Day Dream Eyes (final vision) by pete | 1 year ago |
Just now heard this on the iComp Radio and I wanted to tell you I really like it! |
|
| Tongue Oil by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thank you all so much! I really appreciate it. For the last couple of days, I've been learning to use a floor sander and edger! Can you say machine marks? Talk about tricky work. I tried to find a how-to article, and all I could find were basic stories that concluded with "hire a pro". Nevertheless, it looks pretty good. Tomorrow I'll finish sanding and start coating the floor. Then, I'm DONE! I'll be posting in the setups! | |
| D loops by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thanks Bec! Just knocking the dust off;-- gettin' the GB out, see if I still remember how to drive it. The studio is still a ways off, can you believe it! I've been stripping woodwork. I think the fumes are gettin' to me. | |
| For Anyone by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thanks ciheins! Having Z at the core is the real inspiration. It was a joy to produce. A dream like composition. Thanks again, Andre! | |
| Sailing Boca Grande by Bass2x | 1 year ago |
Micro, yes. More, yes! |
|
| Bags Groove by Bass2x | 1 year ago |
I do like it! A great tune for the iPod. |
|

| Wow, nearly five hundred plays! Thank you all for listening. And, for all the wonderful comments. I really appreciate it. Thanks again, Mason |
|
| Requiem for A Young Man by MasonOller | 1 year ago |

| Thanks, scotty! | |
| 4arms collab mix by MasonOller | 1 year ago |

| For Anyone by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thanks Z! And thank you, too mitzel. I plan on making more once the studio is up and running. Thanks, scottydude! | |
| paper soul by naz_drummr | 1 year ago |
| Thanks Naz! For me, this is a wonderful way to make a come back! (I've been gone for three months;-- anybody miss me?) Don't worry about stepping on the song, play those drums as loud as you want! I'm really looking forward to collaborating with you on some more songs. Thanks again! Mason |

| Four Chords of Collaboration (Ian and James Mix) by 4arms | 1 year ago |
Well, that was awesome (just finished listening). Man, we gotta do this again. |
|
| 4arms collab mix by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thanks for the comments! This was a very interesting collab to do. I'm ready for another round. | |
| n24hrs by MasonOller | 1 year ago |
| Thanks! I couldn't think of any words, but I was in time for the contest. I didn't get first, but I did get a discount coupon! | |
| 4arms collab mix by MasonOller | 2 years ago |
| Thanks for all the feedback! The whole story can be found in the forum. | |
| For Four Arms by MasonOller | 2 years ago |
| Thanks! Be sure to check out my mix. | |
| Requiem for A Young Man by MasonOller | 2 years ago |
| Thanks, James. And, you too, JD. I just saw a PBS special called Keeping Score, and what you said reminded of something the oboe player said. He said, the oboe was the emotional voice of the orchestra. I don't think I'll come back to this piece, but because of it, I think I have the confidence to try another longer classic work, this time using an oboe as a "vocalist". Thanks again. | |
| against the clock by Mikee | 2 years ago |
That's really good, M. These mixes are even more surprising than the parts. There's a math equation in there sumwhere. |
|
| beginnings by hellmet | 2 years ago |
Overall, I really like the composition. This is just my humble opinion, but where the vocals go falsetto, if you added a loud fuzzy guitar there, plus screamed the words, that would make it more intense. Towards the end, where you were adding some sutble effects, I really liked that, more of that would make it even more interesting. I'll have to come back to listen some more. |

| Harp chords III by Ziur | 2 years ago |
| Very nice DaedraLarsa! Woodwinds anyone? | |
| Harp chords II by Ziur | 2 years ago |
| Thanks et and Mandlebrot! This is a great challenge. I encourage everyone to give it a try. | |

A great rendition! |

Great work guys! I'm looking forward to more. |
|
| For Four Arms by MasonOller | 2 years ago |
| Thank you Geechi and Cesare! No worries, nick. I was late getting it turned in. | |
| 4arms collab (loop) by nickblake | 2 years ago |
Outstanding production. An excellent recording! |
|
| 44arms by Bass2x | 2 years ago |
Here I was, worried all these were going to sound similiar, and things couldn't be more different. Excellent take James, and Dylan, your vocal is awesome. Great job. |
|
| Requiem for A Young Man by MasonOller | 2 years ago |
| I think you're right, dd. Thankfully, not just tragedy. Creativity flows from the highs and wells up from the lows. Intensity begetting intensity. Thank you, z. |
|
| A Billion Light Years Away by _mason_ | 2 years ago |
| Oh no! Not So-crates! Why not King Arthur? Or, Gandolf? Or, the one I get everytime I go someplace, "Hey, Jer-ry!" Seriously, thank you very much for the compliment. Now, you got me guessing who... is it Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin, Mac Powell... Thanks for listening! |
|
| The River at Night by _mason_ | 2 years ago |
| Thanks Vapor! We should get a jam together with Baboon and the Chicago outfit sometime. Thank you, thompson. And, thank you, too Ryan, and for the heads up. And, a special thank you to Geechi for the nice comments you left on the song that Ryan mentioned. Thanks again! | |
| Red Doppler Whine by AtomicBuffalo | 2 years ago |
| Thanks, Man. I just now listened again and remembered I left open a spot for guitar solo... This would make a good tune to redo using GarageBand. | |
| The River at Night by _mason_ | 2 years ago |
| I think that would be awesome. | |
| Turin at Night by MasonOller | 2 years ago |
| Thank you Cheska and itiswotitis. I know what you mean. It looks like beautiful place to visit. | |
| A Billion Lightyears Away by _mason_ | 2 years ago |
| Thank you iam and macoco. I hope to make an album soon. I just want to say again, how grateful I am to becwil for the amazing contribution she has made to this tune. | |
| Time feat. Guitarist Antonello by Jovana | 2 years ago |
You should sing more often! The solo guitar is outstanding! Great collab. |
|
| static. by hellmet | 2 years ago |
I've come to expect such creative music from you, and this is no exception. You combine the traditional with the electronic in a most enjoyable way. I've been listening to this for a couple of weeks now and every time I listen, I hear something new. |
|
| Rainy Afternoon by LaFayette | 2 years ago |
A beautiful string piece. All the guitars work together wonderfully. Nice separation in the mix. A very enjoyable tune. A good addition to iTunes. |
|
| SummerTime by Bondiman | 2 years ago |
This one of my all time favorite tunes. Such beautiful singing. The guitar accompaniment is awesome. A very nice rendition;-- a real keeper. |
|
| Relaxing in the Jungle by mikecreamer | 2 years ago |
This very relaxing, indeed. |
|
| Pines In The Wasteland (Nina da Costa) by saved777 | 2 years ago |
The song construction is very good. Nina, you have a very nice voice. Also, the piano playing has great feeling. You have a lot of talent. |
|
| Let's Fu[n]k Together by lupiroz | 2 years ago |
The atmospheric intro is a nice touch. I dig the funky 12 bar arrangement. Very unusual lyrical technique. The placement of the solos makes for good tension. Nice composition overall. Great collab! |
|
| PR84ME by nemo66 | 2 years ago |
I like the funky wah wah guitar intro. The first transition is surprisingly abrupt. It creates a sense of uncertainty which is correctly rewarded by the return of the first theme. The repeated collisions make for a very interesting listen. Nice work. |
|
| Panic Attack by TBoneFever | 2 years ago |
Makes me feel jumpy. I believe that was your intent and it definitely works. I think this is very short, a little more would have driven me over the edge. But, as an intro to a longer piece, this would be quite effective. |
|
| The Apartment Song (Tom Petty Cover) by Spider | 2 years ago |
I've listen to this several times now and I think it's pretty good. Your voice has a unique, original quality. Good mixing on all the tracks, too. |
|
| where are the wizards... by j0j0 | 2 years ago |
The dreamy intro is very nice. The transition from wet to dry vocals is unexpected and pleasant. Psychedelic in a Greg Lake kind of way. Very nice. |
|
| you've gotta take a chance by n2groove | 2 years ago |
The lead organ sounds great. Everything has a live feel to it. Outstanding vocals;-- powerful and emotive. Very good. |
|
| 09 Science-Fiction Mnemonics by electrosketch | 2 years ago |
| Thanks for listening, Drastic! I really appreciate it. | |
