      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
          james

            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 !!

                  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.

                        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.
