| the reason for leaving by frautschi | 4 years ago |
| Really beautiful piece, timeless and haunting. | |
| hangover eyes finished by rickyeatworld | 4 years ago |
| Very interesting, I like. The vocal trasittions are very 'ear catching' and give the piece it's personality. Very passionate performance. Couple suggestions : mike the guitar separately, and close, no more than a foot. Also bass and percussion woudl really fill it out, nothing heavy. It almost has kind of a swing beat at the end ... |

| Impaciencia by nois | 4 years ago |
| Very expressive vocals, nicely constructed and hook-y song. I wish I knew the language, but even without it seems very accessable. I also like minimalistic arrangements. I will no doubt play this more than once! Keep posting! |

| The Problem with Trousers by WettonFan | 4 years ago |
| Wow, awsome technique. If I hadn't been keyed to listen for it I would probably not have noticed. It is the vibrato that nails it , btw. |

| Mississippi Uptown by pete | 4 years ago |
| One of my all time favs from the dead, great tribute! Thanks! I am going to go put on a mid 70's show right now! (I just love that refrain "a-cross the rio grande"Â ...) |

| Island of Forever by pete | 4 years ago |
| This really resonates with me! I so want a steel drum to mess with! That beautiful island swing feeling, and you voice is perfect for it too. the recording is so clear too! Exquisite! |

| Southbound Train - remix by gongoputch | 4 years ago |
| Sorry, i mis-labelled this, the only loop is the drum, which I make on groovelab (google groovelab). Even that backwards thing is me picking on acoustic (I had a ***** of a time reversing the progression). I did use a lot more effects and mixing than I usually do, but I did it with a specfic overall goal in mind, so I won't call it a 'sin' ... i should pay more attention when putting this stuff up. Garage band was defaulted to 64Kbps when I exported it too, so this fidelity sucks  |

| Espérance by j_livingston | 4 years ago |
| I just love the carribean/african influence. I myself fall into an island groove quite a bit. This just sounds _rich_ with sonic depth. I may ping you with some ideas for collaboration ... |

| wave - again by gongoputch | 4 years ago |
| Thanks, i wish I could replace the file, I had GB set to export 64Kbps I would LOVE for people to hear it _with_ treble ... |

| MONDAY'S MELODIES on Tuesday by itiswotitis | 4 years ago |
| Lupiroz original was so moving to me, now to hear this mix with the additional vocals is just too cool. Kinda makes me wish I could sing. One day when I grow up, and stop piddling around, I want to make music still stunningly beautiful. For now, I'll just listen to you guys. |

| Stop Aids Now! by vegetal by vegetal | 4 years ago |
| really nice smooth production, minimalistic yet driving composition. I like. |
|
| Little Wing (for Mungo) by ziti | 4 years ago |
| This is a really smooth rendition! I like the interpretation, the straight cover has become a bit of guiatrist' version of lifting weights, which a shame IMO. You have an obvious mastery of this, and what a tone! This one is gonna send me off to the wood shed for a while ... |

| Where Does The Time Go, Missus? by mike8657 | 4 years ago |
| I have often wondered if there are things you have to have lived to 'get', and usually by the time I think to ask the question, I already have my answer. Very well done, i also like your video style. |

| Your City of Angels by mike8657 | 4 years ago |
| Wow, what a story. You have a turn of phrase, for sure! | |
| The End by Leahbanicki | 4 years ago |
| What a song! What a mature and emotioinal vocal performance, brimming with that ending melancholy and a kernel of hope within! Really great pads and harmonies too! I love the simple arrangement, so true. DAMN! i wish i could do more than croak like a frog  |
|
| Why am I by Leahbanicki | 4 years ago |
| This has a really hip swing to it, that slinky winding bass line is really sexy. And WOW, your voice is really really good. GB is a wonderful tool for those of us that Protools causes a cerebral hemmorage in Keep posting! I want to hear what you'll do next! |

| In youre mind by Lapotu | 4 years ago |
| This really gets the point across. I am sorry to note that you obviously know of what you have written. I always try to remember that to miss someone, you had to have known them, and this is better than having neither. |

| Southbound Train by gongoputch | 4 years ago |
| It is actually commonly called a Bandolin : http://home.utcorp.net/~gongo/instruments/banjolin.jpg This instrument was a gift to me as a child of about 10, the owner of a gormet food shop in my home town gave it to me. It sat for almost 30 years on a library book shelf. Then when my mother passed we were inventorying and packing, I spotted it and took it to my luthier (fancy word for guitar builder) and he made it whole again. It totally grabbed me, i played it for a month almost exclusively. I own a violin, but alas, my skills fail me there There is something country fried down in my soul somewhere I think. I am on that train with you listening to that rhythm and thinking about how happy it will be when we get to that place where everyone is an old friend I made a 'remix of it, a slightly more abstract take on it, but basically the same song. |

| Wave by gongoputch | 4 years ago |
| Thank you so so much for your kind words! I editted the page to allow icomp members to 'Allow others to "remix" this song'. I love it when music washes over me (like a wave, hehe) and pulls me into it, and when someone gets that from something I did, well that is just the whole reason I do it right there And it is not your headphones, the acoustic is a bit muddy. I am using my taylor 410 on this and it has so much bottom end it is overwealming the little lavelier mic I am using! Good ear! Oh, and I LOVE good old mr. Young too! You are in Hawaii? way cool! Must be absolutely beautiful there! |

| Real unique sound, vocals are great! Nice use of reggae time too, you can just drift listening to this .... I second the 'instant favorite' ! Thanks for sharing. |
|
| Tropical Chill by mbehar | 4 years ago |
| This is just soooo smooth, but with an edge too ... Like a snifter of single malt scotch. Damn, but when I hear stuff like this I feel foolish even posting on icomp ... guess that means I'll just listen and play even more |

| Forgiveness by mediadad | 4 years ago |

| voodoo Child by jimilee | 4 years ago |
Eeeyoowww !!! Hot riffin! This is one of my favorites of all time. Nothing like that Strat -> Marshall sound !!! |
|
| HASSAN I SABAH (remastered) by Mikee | 4 years ago |
| This has a real cool groove to it. Nicely balanced, simple and complete. And I often wonder if I would like the music I make ... if I didn't make music. If THAT makes any sense to you. Ah, you can get tied up in knots with such questions, best to just do what you do, eh? |

| Synced echo grooves in Garageband by gongoputch | 4 years ago |
| I don't know that the video resolution limitations are here on icompositions, so I crushed it to some pretty small numbers. Here is a full scale version: http://207.158.15.59/~gongo/tutorials/synced_echo/ along with the drum sample I used. |

| Pop ... poppoppoppop by Slupper | 4 years ago |

| A Song by jl | 4 years ago |
Wow, you have that 'lazy precsion' (what I call it) that just seems to lay out so perfectly. A really good piece like this just brings visuals to my minds' eye. Nice work! thanks! |

What is the key/progression and BPM? |

| A mixdown for mfwmiles to hear by gongoputch | 4 years ago |
| Mfwmiles: Anytime! I had fun doing this. Doing parts can be different, I don't have to worry about the overarching structure, theme, melody, etc. just 'cop a moment' and go for it. A real pleasure. Now, if I can just figure out how to move this to 'collaborations' ... |

| Four Four Mentality by woofer3 | 4 years ago |
| I love this song! Great idea, great production! It has real character. Back in 2000, I got my VW GTI 16v crushed at a green light while waiting for a line of cars to clear and make my left turn. It was a Lexus SUV and the guy WAS ON HIS CEL PHONE that rear ended me at 50 mph. GGRRRRRR Just for everyone's information : never make your 'cut' (turn your wheels) before you move to actually make your turn. If I had that night, I would not be here to laugh along with this song |

| Underneath the walnut tree by JamesSanger1 | 4 years ago |
Damn smooth. I have soooo much to learn, could you put together a (some?) tutorial(s) on how to make something seamless and smooth that moves along .... like this? Enviously yours, gong. |

| Transition by Haven | 4 years ago |
Definitely a stand out piece! Smooth but engaging. I know virtually nothing about producing this kind of music but I know what I like .... and I like! |
|
| THAT WAS THEN by Barretok | 4 years ago |
That intro makes me want to learn to play bass ... Very sliding groove, it all fits together so well. I have a lot to learn :0 |
