About this album
Wikiloops. *The* online crucible of talent, creativity and outright collaboration. Facebook? Social networking? Get stuffed. This is where it's at - musicians listening, interpreting and responding to each other in ways 'social networking' can only dream of. Photoshopping cats for global 'meme' amusement is one thing, making great music when the players are up to 8000 or more miles away is something Facebook's social graph can only dream of.
These tracks all have one thing in common: they all came about from just a drum template. No melody, no guide beyond just time and a basic style. The rest is the pure creativity and originality of those who added. Testimony to the sheer breadth of talent found amongst the Wikiloops.
I must make special mention of 'Universe Crumbling' because Ninfrag will not show up in the artist list. It is his tune, his phenomenal add - I just re-did the drums as a new template for it based on his original add to my template. It is his music, not mine. Like a drummer should, I just kept time.
Enjoy. I always do.

When I came back to music 3 or 4 months ago and discovered wikiloops, the first track I've downloaded and worked on was one of your templates Martin. And then the virus of music came back...
Many thanks for the way you play and share your enthusiasm.
I wish I could "thumb up" your words too ^^

I sometimes afraid you'll get bored to hear my compliment, but you know exactly how I admire, respect and appreciate your work.
You play across all genre like snapping fingers, and you always serves us the best meal on the table, which always give an excellent taste to all the song you had touched. You understand what the song need, and not only that you can go up above than what we expected.
A great honor to be part of this album
thank you very much for your music and keep sharing your wonderful talent with us Martin!

I like your comment "I JUST keep time" ...like the backbone JUST holds up the body!! Too modest. The glue and backbone is just so obvious in all these tracks. Superb drumming that the rest of us are privileged to accompany. Such fine music.
AWESOME!
