Members neanderpaul Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hello peers I am neanderpaul. I usually do a one man band live looping gig like this. http://www.youtube.com/neanderpaul#p/u/5/_SRcysjX1j4 I do pop, rock, hard rock, spoken word, a capella, instrumental, country, etc etc. I was looking to introduce myself here and get a critique on the song "let it go". It can be heard on my profile at bandmix.com It is the second song of 4 on the list. An 18 year old friend played drums. I played everything else - guitar, wurlitzer, bass, drums, and sang it. http://www.bandmix.com/neanderpaul/ I'm happy to return the favor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Danner Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Pretty creative stuff for sure. Cool too. But, your studio is too small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slade Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Greetings Neanderpaul.I could critique this but it is more live than polished anyway. So I would rather just mention what I kind of liked or whatever. You have a nice approach to looping but keep in mind my opinion is rarely mainstream as I often have tastes for the odd or the B-side of music. "You made your bed" stands out to me even though it sounds like a rough draft so to speak but I liked the song a lot. "Nothing but wrong" is next on my list, maybe because I like this style of music? Don't get me wrong, music I listen to is not narrow in scope. "Let it go" was not so much my cup of tea. Do a good studio version of "You made your Bed" with a good mix and better vocal effects (maybe embellish it but only a little). Good song. Cheers! :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pogoshoes Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 let it go...great hook.seems like it should be in a movie.If it was my song and i played it back i'd trim the intro and outro and tweak a couple lines.i've listened to this song a dozen times now.it's so poppy and great and is a haircut away from being a little slice of pure power pop heaven.The hook is already exactly that.

Members neanderpaul Posted November 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 You are so right on the intro. Only one other person has mentioned it but I've felt it all along. Thanks so much for the review and the power pop comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JonnyFranchi$e Posted November 22, 2009 Members Share Posted November 22, 2009 Neanderpaul - welcome - I just started listening (You Made Your Bed) and I'll probably add more later - but it's real good... I've been thinking a lot lately of using my Jamman more to the max for drums etc. in a live context like you're doing - and you're doing it great with vocal harmonies and everything. (My problem though is that my songwriting has a lot of more extreme musical changes)... Are you running the Jamman straight into the PA, to get vocals and guitars looping? And does that mean you're not using a guitar amp at all? If you don't mind, tell about your setup a little - that's really interesting and I am looking at doing something very similar. (As you might be able to tell, I spend most of my time in the effects forum!) And the 1st song is great to - kinda spoken word into a catchy harmony chorus - with cool ambient guitar. It's different than what I usually listen to but I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
