Musical Quaalude (Set to Snowfall)

By cfurrow on February 16, 2014 9:20 pm

I started this a few weeks ago by creating small loops in Loopy on an iPad with an acoustic guitar. This week I went back and added some lap steel, synth, ukulele, and finally some vocals. I had a nice, calming time putting this together while watching the snow come down outside my window.

Thanks again for the nice comments on my past tunes.

PS. What the trick to posting pics and GIF's on here?

You evoke an awesome atmosphere on this (like always).  I was kind of getting an underwater vibe at first, but the snowfall imagery totally fits, too.

Wow! Really cool vibe in this.  The tremoloey feel and the lap steel swaying in and out really set the tone for this track.  The vocals fit nicely in the mix as well.  I like the ending especially. Very well done! smile

your stuff is consistently amazing. feeling hints of the older acoustic works by the album leaf in here, which i've loved for a very, very long time. i wish we could make tunes together in real life sometime!

This is beautifully put together (again), and serves among other things to remind me that I've been neglecting loopy. Lovely stuff.

Great atmosphere. I liked the short dreamy voice segment!

Thanks, preciouskindred! Yeah, I agree, I'd love to collaborate in the real sometime. Let me know if you're ever in the NYC area. I really dig your style.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'm just tickled with all the nice things being said.

Beautiful texture--extremely relaxing, does what it says on the tin.  Great job
