Hi,
Posted this tune on the Fostex forum and was directed here. (thanks bd) You folks have some smokin' stuff here! I look forward to hearing and contributing down the road.
The bass is a Roland U-20 keyboard. All my drum parts are sequenced on an old MC-500. I start with a skeleton and add as the tune develops. Bedlam's drums are are six loops , 2 two bar and 4 four bar : a polyrythmic intro/interlude, separated by 8 bars of 4/4 time. The tune is a 12 bar minor blues and was contructed in loops of 2-2-4-4 bars, cut and pasted eight times. The only instrument I recorded live was the organ solo. Most patches including the drums came from the Korg XC digital keyboard, except the fretless bass (Roland U-20 )and incidental percussion instruments (Roland JV 1000). All gated and reverb effects were from the instruments as I find them more aesthetic and cleaner than the MR-8's. Cool Pro Edit helped finish the job.
The other tune on nowhereradio is a Charlie Parker 32- bar head done on solo piano live.
It's nice to be here, hope you find them stimulating and 'in the pocket.'
Peace,
Ralph Funaro (flat-9)
