Loop available: “We Cry Out” by Brian and Jenn Johnson/Kim Walker

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

We Cry Out was written by Brian and Jenn Johnson but made popular by Kim Walker’s performance. This loop follows the arrangement that Kim Walker used, same key as well. It’s a great song that is mostly guitars and rhythm. So the loop uses a mellow pad through the song with a rhythm element and a few other rhythmic synth elements. It’s a pretty mellow loop that lets the guitars shine through.

Song: We Cry Out by Kim Walker, We Cry Out (album)
Key: D#m
Bpm: 122
Intro: 4 bar click in w/drums (guitar riff starts on measure 5 in other words)

Loop available: “Solid Rock” by Delirious

Tagged Under : , , , ,

This loop is for Delirious’ arrangement of Solid Rock off their Now Is the Time album. I followed their arrangement except for the intro. The intro has a silent 2 bar click in, then a syth bass comes in and does some weird stuff, then the main riff comes in at bar 15 and the band(including guitar riff) comes in at bar 19. From then on it follows the album arrangement.

The loop is pretty sparse besides the main synth/bass riff. I added some synth on the chorus and some shaker, but besides that it’s the synth and guitar riff carrying the song. I had delayed releasing this because I’ve always wanted to take it in another direction at some point, but that direction hasn’t come into my head yet. So I’ll release another version if it ever comes.

Song: Solid Rock by Delirious, Now Is The Time
Key: E
Bpm: 158
Intro: 2 bar click in

Submit your loops on Soundcloud and get heard!

Tagged Under : ,

I’ve been publishing my loops on this site for a while now and that’s all fine and dandy, but I’d love to hear what others are doing and help anyone out if possible. If you have loops you need help with or would like to get some critique or just want the world to hear, then you need to send me your tracks!

If you’re looking for help or critique, after you send me your track through Soundcloud a blog post will be made inviting critique. After round(s) of critique and revisions(if necessary) your loop may possibly be included in the ORS podcast and main Soundcloud profile. Here’s exactly what you need to do to participate:

  1. Send me your loop by placing it in the ORS soundcloud dropbox. (Link always in sidebar as shown above)
  2. Include the BPM in the track info on soundcloud as well as an helpful arrangement information and links to where we can hear an album version if one exists.
  3. Email me (email in sidebar) to let me know it’s your track and where feedback should be sent.
  4. A blog post will be made with your loop. If you just want your loop to be heard without critique, then I’ll just make the call whether or not the quality is high enough to include as is.
  5. If it’s your track then please link to it from your personal blog.

Ok let’s get this loop party started shall we?
