Continuing the "Ghosts" project. This take on the continuing study has most of the themes and an added free bass ostinato. Double tracked and some post recording processing added in Audacity.

Dipping a toe in the massive waters of the jesters planet archive. Another song from the unreleased Heath Robinson EP, this time getting its very first outing. Smile Factory always ripped a new one live. Spontaneous (ie - not great, but an improvement) remaster today because I can.

Does what it says on the box.

 

Agile Argus 30" scale octave-down guitarbass > FuzzHugger(fx) AB-Synth fuzz (oscillator off) > Digitech RP50 "Short Stack" overdrive + reverb (multi-fx) > Behringer bass limiter / enhancer > Behringer octavator (multi-fx) > Drive 10 watt bass amp.

An extract of some layers. Building towards... something.

More to come. Nadimification and TiNAisation also yet to be done.

The end result will sound nothing like this, no doubt.

(edit - apparently my 90s mix included some music from the previous transmission as Nadim & Bernhard's concert started fifteen minutes late. Here is the FIXED version)

For anyone who may have missed Nadim & Bernhard's concert, or those without the attention span to endure two hours of live improvisation, I present the ADD mix - the entire show (minus the talking) compressed to a 90 second, iPod ready mp3. Enjoy

Very lo-fi (and very low bitrate too), 1993 rehearsal tape extract. Played to blow off some steam after a song-writing session. Does what it says on the box. We rarely played this live.

created

This first of three planned saxloops was created from the opening phrase of the saxophone solo in the original song.

We decided against using it, and tried to create our own samples to use with Simon McCabe. The other two saxloops didn't even get made, and nothing from Simon's session made the final cut either.

All takes played simultaneously...
