Beautifully simple, simply beautiful.

Man - your vocal work gets better with each track. Spires, this is just lovely. Guitar, synth choices and your vocal in this are perfect. The minimal beat holds it all together superbly well. Excellent track brother Vortex!
Blackbird: Theme & Variations on a Yeovil folksong by lunatrick 1 month ago
How cool is this? Reminds me of something the Penguin Cafe Orchestra might have done. "Blackbird I'll 'ave 'ee!!" Is that what he's saying? smiley

Really nice composition. I've taken a DL, thank you.
Do You Wanna Play by Dee1962z 1 month ago
Dee - this is really well put together - great drums; what did you use? And the bass is just funky. The timing of the bass seems a little "out" at first, but it all comes together. Maybe you could get someone to put some twangy funk guitar or nice synth chords in there for you, fill it out a bit. I'd also bring in something a bit sooner during the drum solo. Not enough happening there, imho. It's very well mixed - no problems with the sound here through my Rokits.

Nice, cool and laid-back tune, work on it!

This is superb. Heavy, heavy stuff and really well put together.

Got to agree with your comments about the Slave Trade - but you forgot to include Liverpool, [where I'm from] which took over from Bristol and became the biggest slaving port in the country. The city, until very recently, chose to conveniently forget the legacy [including a long established Black population] that the trade has left. I'm glad it is now slowly, after much pressure, putting the record straight.

Hell of a good song - thanks!
The First Time by mfwmiles 1 month ago
Beautiful orchestration, nice build up and a great mix. Love all the little FX you have going. Lovely song!
Piano, Oud and Flute Revisited by rpmix 1 month ago
Very nice! Good use of loops from the jampacks, very well mixed. I love those Eastern things, they're great to play around with.
Clam Bay Pier Dance by Xolv 2 months ago
This is so cool! I'm going to have to spend a bit more time here I think. Excellent instrumentation and a wonderful Summery sound. Nice one.

Cheers! smiley

53 is still missing. Isn't it? I just listened. Or am I missing something here?
Ba Bella by deputydoofy 3 months ago
LOL! Love it DD. You should put some gurgling nappy [diaper in the U.S.] changing noises in there as well.

Nice one. smiley

A great song.

Beautiful use of synths, lovely ambient tune.
Never too late by DLB 1 year ago
Great stuff - excellent mix. The cowbell does it for me! I hear The Stones too in this.
Communication Breakdown by DLB 1 year ago
Fat, fat bass! Nice. Subject material familiar to me too. Especially when I'm sat here listening to or making a tune, instead of DIYing. Hah! smiley
Todays The Day by DLB 1 year ago
Yes! I can relate to this one alright. Nice, nice song.
99 Bottles Collaboration by alanatomic 1 year ago

Man that is SEXY! Well good Jools. smiley

Best real ale round these parts, btw, is Brimstage's Trapper's Hat. A fine IPA, brewed with loving care here on the Wirral. The head Brewer is called Neil Young, so there is a musical connection!

Beautiful. This is the one I like best - but they are all good. Terrific soundscape. What synth?
Lil Ol' Jersey by Tobz 1 year ago

Tomorrow - Myth by TheLightDreams 1 year ago

I love the ambience of this tune. I don't think it takes a while to start, the tone is set from the moment you listen. Very nicely put together.
The Light Dreams III - Corridors by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
5

Lovely TLD - now where have I heard this before! smiley

*minor crit. - I think you should cut out the strange drumbeat right at the end of the tune. Obviously, the beat is integral to the song as a whole and is not noticeable, but it somehow seems incongruous all on its own at the end.
The Girl From Ipanema by mbehar 1 year ago
Superb cover. Love it! Dled, thanks.

Just stunning. A truly great track and I've taken a download, so thank you.
Gancho by davajonah 1 year ago
Thank you very much! This was a bit of a throwaway tune too. How tickled I am... smiley
Jade by davajonah 1 year ago
Thanks Iti! New version is more 'phone friendly - lowered one of the pad voices - which was rather too obtrusive. Also added some arp layers - the number of octaves increase as the tune plays.

Anyway - thanks for your comments etc - nice one.

Fade To Light by RoboScott 1 year ago
I really like this, I've taken a DL thanks. Your first tune! It's really chaotic and undisciplined but at the same time - really tight. I'd like to do something like this myself. You must have had heaps of fun putting it together. Nice one. smiley
Minus Seven by davajonah 1 year ago
You guys really are too kind. Thanks for your comments!
I listen to it again now and think to myself,"Well, maybe it's not that bad after all!"

Nice one. smiley

I'd love to hear Tomita do a video game btw. Or Brian Eno - imagine?

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone. I'm tickled. smiley
dance by brandocamos 1 year ago
Solid tune and a nice fat bass when it comes in. Drums seem fine to me, but it is too short.

Cool usage of recognisable loops, very cool! Nice and heavy and I really like it. I agree about it just stopping, make it longer!
Test MDA by brandocamos 1 year ago

Wicked synth work and awesome vox sound. We get some amazing Irish Sea sunsets where I live - looking forward to watching the horizon and listening to this on my iPod. Excellent.

Shake your booty baby! Glad you like it and thanks very much. smiley
Thelma and George by davajonah 2 years ago
Thanks again itiswotitis - nice of you to comment. T and G are my mum and dad btw. They were watching when I made this tune - hence its title! It's an old, loopy one, but I did make the synth sounds that fade in and out.
Paddy's Wigwam by davajonah 2 years ago
Thanks! If ever you come to Liverpool - Go to Paddy's Wigwam and not the Cavern. smiley
The Wood Between the Worlds by itiswotitis 2 years ago

This is fantastic - best in your jamroom imo. Maybe the start is a bit abrupt, but truly a wonderful soundscape. Reminds me in parts of some Sufi trance I've heard and certainly wouldn't be out of place on Eno/Byrne's My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts.

Wonderful music and definately one for the pod. Thanks!
Frogments of my Imagination by itiswotitis 2 years ago

This is well cool! And the frog IS saying "aww yeah" I swear. Top job.

I got a few frogs this year. "Lake Dava" here at the mansions [hah!] is four years old and the frogs decided the time was right to move in. They make no noise alas! Mute frogs...

Thanks guys, truly appreciate all your comments. My eyes really are bad though. I'll have to have a few days away from this machine. smiley

Cheers all!
Pipe Noises by davajonah 2 years ago
LOL! Pipes around the world! This has a Japanese reed flute [nearest sound to a fife I could find] Irish penny whistle, Shetland bagpipes, Irish bodhran, Scottish snare drum and my own humble synths. Yes - a right mix. Not one for purists, but I was only messing about.

I'm a big fan of Celtic [especially Irish] music. I love its dynamism and the way musicians are always looking to incorporate new sounds into traditional tunes. Check out an Irish band called Kila if you are interested. They have their own site with some free downloads. Good stuff.

Thanks very much for listening and commenting. smiley

And Cesar, you are a Celt? Excellent!
Rafters [2] by davajonah 2 years ago
Thanks you guys - your comments cheer me up!

Later

Probit and Logit by grandtheory 2 years ago
I recognise some of these loops, but what you've done with them is brilliant imo. Top notch mixing and a great "bleepy" tune.
Black at Night by grandtheory 2 years ago
Can't sing eh? Understood - neither can I. This not as instantly likeable as your others for me, but I suspect it's a grower. On the playlist anyway!
Robust Standard Errors by grandtheory 2 years ago
This one develops beautifully. Your mastery of FX is excellent. Addams Family on acid!
Electric Kool-Aid Hausman Test by grandtheory 2 years ago
I'm working my way through your compositions - this is the best so far imo! I love it! A new playlist for my pod is at the moment being created. Nice one, thank you and good stuff. I'd like to hear a longer version of this - develop some of those really dark themes behind the bleeps.
This song needs a name.... and a little tlc. by grandtheory 2 years ago
Dark, industrial, with a great "Astronomy Domini" Floyd vibe running through it. Heavy stuff and very good.
Tinderbox by davajonah 2 years ago
Hey guys - thanks for the listens and comments. Really appreciated. I was only messing about when I did this one - trying very hard to get to grips with Logic and mixing and I wanted to make something very loud and heavy while still trying to hear all the different sounds. I find it difficult 'cus I don't know what I'm doing really. Maybe I should go on a course or buy a manual - it must be quicker and easier than fiddling with all the buttons and sliders and not remembering what I've just done!

Thanks again - made up!

Jollof Rice by davajonah 2 years ago
Thank you Cesar - I enjoyed doing this one! Next door's cat likes it too btw. It wandered in while I was playing it, and sat transfixed looking at the computer. Maybe it was thinking of its roots in the African Savannah!

FOG by davajonah 2 years ago
Thanks Elder - I don't know that album - jazz fusion! If only I could!!
The mp3 is really "clicky" at the start for some reason - but the AAC isn't! Why is that I wonder? Nowt wrong with the sound on the AIFF. [Except for the concept maybe!!]

Thanks very much for the listen and comment. Nice of you to take the time! smiley
Allah L'a Ke by davajonah 2 years ago
Thanks for the listen and comment David, appreciate that!

The kora is a very expressive instrument, a beautiful one and I wouldn't presume to be able to emulate its sound with my rudimentary skills! I just wanted to do something with the sound really, in my own amateur way. I love that little melody and I had a lot of fun playing with the midi and experimenting with different synths while making the tune. Yes, you are correct, I'm sure that a person with more skill than me could do a much better job, but I'm happy with what I've achieved!

I've been to West Africa btw, and have been lucky enough to see the kora played live by griot masters. It really is something else!

Thanks again.

DJ
Silent Night by davajonah 2 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment guys - really appreciated.

I have to say - I'm not particularly religious myself, but yes, you are right Rick. The carol lends itself to the ethereal and the mystery/majesty of such an incredible story [or truth, depending on your belief] - it is such a simple, yet at the same time, powerful melody.

Have a good holiday!

I've just posted a couple of "holiday" tunes myself - so I'm going through everyone's Xmas stuff. I have to say, this puts my own efforts to shame. Got to agree with Liquid's post from a year ago - outstanding!

A download and one for the pod. Thank you.
