Epic Adventures in the Kitten Realms

This song will surely make you smile, for it is one of the great modern masterpieces, created in the early 21st century; the best of the best, in my humble opinion. Enjoy!

Bubbly Bong Reggae

This is an easy going urban vibes kinda track with much potential for the advanced listenern among you. Can you match the groove? 

The Coolest MoFo's of the Animal Kingdom - Cats

Yeah, uhm... this is a classic example of the old saying, you can't have too many smoking hot hits; this banger is still lukewarm and stil has a little too many stimulants in his bloodstream, so yeah. Let's see where this will take us, and for God's sake, ENJOY!

Take Care of your Local Bassplayers

I hope to use this half minute of bass guitar excellence for the purpose of helping a potential buyer evaluate the worth of Ludo Loco Music, in a less time consuming manner. 
It's all a ruse to get Elon Musk to buy my music and distribute it professionally. That way the music gets the audience it deserves and I can buy a big house to start my big family!

1st Bass Solo Summer Heat - Teaser

This is the second grand climax I have carved out of the chest of a track I am incredibly proud of, used to be named Carnival Freakshow, but after remastering I changed the name to Latin Devils. It just has that sinful spanish vibe about it. Very tighly played solo but somehow also managing to swing a little. Incredible innovative bass playing by the master and ambassador of the noble craft of improvising: Robert Veltemaster. He is a vassal of Elon Musk. He holds no fiefs. 

One Hot Minute - Complex Solo from Latin Devils

I have isolated a couple of cuts from several songs with great climaxes, but this was one I had to do as well, such a powerful intro, you can hear the engine of the bass roar in Drop-D. Just the intro.. to keep it brief when assessing the potential of X-Loco ;-)

Nitro Power Intro

This powerfull cut from our classic favorite Blue Note Magnum Opus. I made this cut to be heard by potential patrons who might wish to purchase the rights to this entire project and will currate the music in an accesible, and profitable way with the resources needed to gain a huge fanbase, based on novelty in virtuosity and constantly trying to do perform better than the last time making more impressive soundflupsels for extra bonus points and a referal from the big boss himself. 

Bassdude Hooked on Synthetic Jazzmeth

This is the part in our song True Vibe Gold, where the bassplayer realizes the drugs he took about an hour earlier are starting to land and they be kicking in right smackdown in the middle of this party vibe funk jam. Ya gotta dig it. Batsign.

Little Jam Gem on Molly

About the five awesome teasers in the spotlight; these are just short examples of the musical prowess that lays at the foundation of our whole collection of over 200 original improvised tracks. It's just under five minutes of what we call in the Netherlands: "Ff lekker stoer doen op de basgitaar!"

Much love for all the new fans, you are all very much appreciated! 
Please keep reposting our tracks, this helps us out a lot!
Tell your friends about this weird but exiting music you've encountered and how it revolutionizes musical creation in it's core fundamentals... Or just enjoy the music. Take care!

*Introduction:*

We are Ludo Loco, an Experimental Independent Improvisation Ensemble from Leiden, the Netherlands. 
We are an ensemble with Jeroen Keereweer on the keyboard and Robert Veltema on the bass guitar.
Ludo means, in Latin: to Play/Mock/Tease/Trick and Loco just means: Crazy, Mad or Insane, in Spanish. When you listen to our music you'll understand why that is our band's name. '

*The Ludo Loco Way of Making music:*

Hi, I'm Robert from Ludo Loco and I would like to tell you about the Ludo Loco methods of how we make our music and why the end result is always unique and original. 
All of our songs, already over 200 tracks, have only ever been played once and  this is always recorded on a computer. We are not capable of any reproduction of our tracks. In fact, in my case after I finish playing the bass part, I usually have no idea what I have just played and I have listen to the recording to realize if it was any good, authentic, original, but above all, doesn't contain any ugly errors that would ruin the whole track.

We usually need two takes, because there's only two of us and we usually want: bass, keys, drums (keyboard drumming) and sometimes an electric guitar. So the second take is usually the keys, if the bass and drums were laid down first. Sometimes we record piano and bass simultaneously, which often results in very sensitively played music with a lot of emotion poured in it from our inner muses.
 
We have the skills to create music in the heat of the moment, without it being erratic, random or filled with errors. It has to be great on the first try. Though we do have nights were we really suck, but those tracks we just discard and we move on.

I honestly haven't heard any other ensembles or bands that come close to our unique Ludo Loco Sound, or that match our Playing Style.
So, everything is improvised and because we've played together so much in our lives, we respond very well and immediate to each other, as the song evolves and grooves into different intensities, building up, playing variations, climaxing, bringing it down eventually with a proper ending. 

I think that if people know their instrument very well and have become bored with playing fixed songs and don't like rehearsing the same tracks over and over (like I was), they could learn how to cast off these chains of regular, written music, and develop the skill of playing by feeling only, while still being able to implement a song structure while you record it. I say people who know their instrument very well, because you need the muscle memory to help you guide your improvised track.

At least for me, this way of creating spontaneous, authentic, original music, is way more fun than practicing with a band and getting it all perfectly memorized. 
I use that space in my brain; from not memorizing anything; for allowing me to play with a lot of feeling and be creative, but also critical of how I sound, whether it is nice to listen to, whether I'm playing something totally new. Just monitoring myself and directing the creative process mentally into the next phrase of a song. I love when I make it sound cool and groovy, so that's what I usually prime my head for and for the rest it's just about having great fun with playing my part. 

In all, I have yet to hear anything anywhere that compares to our music style. I would love to know about others who make music this way. When you talk about improvising, people automatically think of Jazz, but with Jazz you have to know the standards and you're kind of only allowed to improvise over a standard from the real book. Jazz is kind of weird like that. 

We use freedom of expression to the max and I feel like we are doing something good, but also very rare... It's definitely not mainstream music, but as a niche, there's still many people who will enjoy our music and if we can find a way to reach these people, then we will be enriching their lives with something that I feel is very special.
