musical thoughts

video: somewhat insincere

More loop jam, but this one is in 13/8 for variety’s sake.

I came up with this in the car driving home. I quickly captured it in my notebook. This is what I started this tune with:

drum pattern

I recorded that on the Alesis drum kit real quickly (in three passes–hi hat fist, then kick+snare, then crashes), then came up with a sort of chord progression sitting at the Rhodes. Once I had that worked out, I laid the bass line down first, then did my Rhodes take. And this is the result. About three hours from idea to posted video.

  1. what do you use to make the loops, and record the rhodes/drums/bass when you have it?

  2. scottasin, that’s pretty thoroughly described in this post: http://music.linear1.org/2008/04/07/my-recording-setup/

    I forgot I left that comment. I’ll bet your getting close to implementation or at least have the schematics done.
