WHISPERS Hi all, Here's a remake of one of my older songs. It was inspired by a night at the X2 discotheque in Oldenburg, Germany. Man, such a lot of excitement there! I used the audio chord wizard to analyze the chords (which I forgot). Next I added some RTs, chopped up versions (Gritty and Bass). As always I backed up this project on a DVD. Later on the disc turned out to be corrupted, so sadly I cannot retrieve the specifics anymore. I played the classical and electric guitar myself. Anyway, I hope you like it (this may sound a little bit different). Any comments are welcome as usual. Rob

I love it! I think it's impressive that you can change genres and continue nailing the paradigm, even when the rules change!
the various parts are very interesting, and sound more like loops than real tracks. However you assembled this, it's very cohesive and well done! As far as creating opportunities in media, I have to wonder if this genre might open a whole different set of doors for you.
I like the way you start singing to a very minimal backing track then add more instruments to the mix for excitement and audio interest! Very effective technique!
I notice an ad played each time I listened. I hope that means you are making money from the ads! I'd rather hear that you're making money from having your songs on tv shows or movies. ;-)
Anyway... you never disappoint! Best of luck to you, I hope some opportunities come your way.

Hi Rob,
Pat has already touched on a lot of things that we were thinking. I guess you might call this the "House" genre. or perhaps "Dance".
Like Pat, we loved the way you layered the instruments to the ultimate build. And the abrupt ending with you you whispering "Whispers" is great. We loved it!
As a side note, my first wife's grandparents are from Oldenburg, Germany. I visited that area of northern Germany back in the 1980s. And yes, the nightlife is explosive. Germany has a very active nightlife with the club scene.
Excellent!

Hi Rob.
I think it's good that we get variety on the showcase and we certainly haven't heard much Dance on here recently, which is a shame, particularly when it's done as well as this.
You've created a very authentic backing and the arrangement is clever and full of texture and changes. The vocal is superb and the overall production is first class and extremely professional.
Enjoyed the whole thing.
Cheers, ROG.

that Tunecore ad nearly scared me to death,
couldn't figure out where it was coming from at first,
Great vocals as always, very nice mix
It's not my generation I guess,
don't like this genre, but there are elements that appeal
you guys have range in your talents

Rob,
This is really well done!
The production works at every level. The ebb and flow is nice. Tasty. Excellent arrangement.
Your vocal is outstanding!
As Kenny said "not my kind of music"... but DANG! this is well done!!!
Super.

Thank you Pat,
Funny, I haven't noticed this ad before. Now checking out the URL with a browser where we don't have ad blocking enabled I don't see it either.
I will get into this, although I doubt I can do very much about it since my music is being distributed by Horus.
You are right this song is sample based I created the basis in E-Jay.
Thanks again for your very thorough comment!
Rob

Wow! I can totally hear the German dance vibe coming from this.
It has a little bit of that grungy/gritty feel to it. It's almost hidden in the undertones but still very audible, and yet it also has a light and ethereal sound that somehow pairs incredibly well.
It completely envelopes the listener. You can definitely get lost in a song like this.
Nice job!
Cheers,
Ember

We know absolutely nothing about the Dance or Disco genre other than what we've heard in a couple of films.
But, I've learned enough about production to appreciate just how well this is done.
The bottom end had our monitors dancing around on the shelf!
The way you put the textures and layers together including the backing tracks and vocals is amazing.
We often said this about y'all's productions and will again. It's stunning how huge they sound and hard to believe that then originated in a home studio.
Well done!

Alan & Di Hi Alan, Cool that you know the area too. Oldenburg isn't all that far from where we live (Onstwedde, Netherlands) which is very near to the north German border. Thanks for your very positive comment! Rob

I would say this is my kind of music Nicely combining pop and disco, great rhythm and I really like the use of those electric guitars, reminds me of Soldier of Love album by Sade. Excellent production and vocals, as always. To be played loud on a sunny beach Janne
