Hi Jeff,
some plain improvisation i recorded using an ipod with one of Paul’s backing trackz,
using lots of reverb/echo . lol
Hi sxpoet, creative – I like it. I enjoy Pink Floyd, Genesis and electronic music generally, so it’s something I would enjoy more stripped down, without the back-track.
Perhaps using a tapping cymbal track for rhythm instead? How about ‘Space blues on planet G’ as a title? Nice one, keep them coming.
hi Jeff,
i haven’t done any improvising since last summer,
so i thought i’d just stick a backing track on,
then i did a couple sound tests with the ipad,
using too much reverb and echo, not intentional,
just couldn’t be bothered to mess about with the
garage band settings. so i didn’t expect it to play
back like that.
Inprovising only needs to be recorded in one take,
you can hear altissimo g, and the higher note is an overtone
played on altissimo g.
As for backing track, i didn’t have any other tracks available
in Basic blues G, so had to go with that one unfortunately.
cheers

Export. Hope I’ve not crashed a private conversation. I just wanted to say… YEAH !!
That’s excellent !! Agree with Jeff, you need ” something ” to dictate the pulse. I’d up the bass in the mix, but man ; well done !!
Export…. Spell****…Sxpoet .
cheers Jak
nice stuff sxpoet, yes it’s overkill with the effects but they will make you play things different so still a worthy experiment
Cheers Johnny,
experimentation is the key.
Hi Jak, regarding your comment on “crashed a private conversation”, no worries man!
‘Forum’ still means ‘Open public space’ and that’s why we comment here, so that others may add their wisdom, tips and comments to the conversation.

Then anything sent from that address in future, goes straight into the junk folder.
A no-stress solution which works well for me!

Thanks Jeff. Have to admit it came as a huge surprise. One minute, and over time , I’m helping a member as to choice of mpc.
Open up private mail….man, I thought Billy Graham was dead….
