Description : Blues, Jazz, Soul...you're getting your monies worth on this one!!!!! Check out Richie Winn's profile to get the history and making of this great piece. Enjoy.
Description : Georgia on my mind written by Ray Charles.
The vocal track was sent to my by Jurgen Köppe - I am really grateful, thank you. Roz and I worked in a band together and wrote and recorded some songs too. It was very much like old times hearing that fantastic voice through my speakers again.
Taking on the challenge of covering such an iconic song was daunting - I only hope I've done it some justice.
Description : A classic boogie by Pedro Castillos with RPreston. The guitar is the star, so it is my pleasure to back up this excellent top line with a low Dm Native Flute. Who ever said it had to be the other way around?
Another thing. . . the flute track sounded muddy so I applied of all things compression and low pass on advice from looperman's 7 Pro Mixing Tips blog entry. It's brighter now!
Description : A slow blues with soulful and heartfelt singing from the mightily talented and hugely gifted Patricia Edwards. The starting point is an acapella of real quality to which I have added an electric rhythm guitar, an acoustic (in an open tuning), a solo (Godin XTSA), a rhodes sounding piano, organ towards the end of the track, bass and of course EZdrums providing the percussion.
Listen to the lyrics too - this kind of thing can happen to anyone!!
Description : cool vocals - added slow funk/jazz beat with 5 seperate loops of haunting piano's from members on site ? lost info sorry but really good sounds when added together, needs a bit more work - looking for a solo piece to break it up and add some variation to the beats
Description : I put this one together while looking out the window at the year's first snow. A good moody driving song to get lost in. Three chord slowhand blues progression. Thanks to Slap Johnson for the great sax loops used in this song. I used my GR-20 guitar synth for a few of instruments including the Rhodes Organ, always a fun toy compared to doing on my keyboard sometimes. Most of the recording was done with my new Les Paul Studio guitar, err... (until i I broke a string on the outro, so I decided to throw in a Fender Strat too to finish it up. LOL) See if you can pick out the tonal difference between the two guitars for fun. I hope you enjoy this song and comments are always most welcome. Cheers and thanks so much. (Bilbozo)
Description : Blues? Well, it has blues ingredients. I'm just triggering a Persian Santoor and a Chinese Guzheng Zither over Lotus drums and cymbals.
Named for the slowest pitcher in baseball.
Description : Triggering the big bass on my guitar. Trying not to sound like a guitar player playing bass. Also wondering if the little spacey part fits.
j.a.
Description : A recording I did a few years ago. I guess I don't pull out my old Strat enough, so this was fun to experience the twangy tone that I loved so much that came with it. I wanted to capture and go back to some of the spiritual influenced playing I used to do, wind things down but in a emotional way. Ambient Blues with a latin twist. Instrumental ballad designed to pull at the heart in solitude. I love to play my guitar like a voice, and try to capture a mood . Selection of clean and overdriven electric guitars. Piano, clavs and hammond on my Axiom. Drums are samples and loops. If anyone has heard of artist Colin James, this was his his influence he inspired me with. Enjoy and comments always most welcome. Cheers ! - Bilbozo
Description : This track features my kitty "Fluffy". She is part Egypian Mau and very vocal. Being she is so vocal, I decided to build a track around her statements. In some instances, you can even hear her say "I Love You".
I had a blast composing this track and I hope you get a kick out of it too.
Description : UPDATE 26/01/2014: Improved loads of things in what is probably my greatest chillout alternative blues piece. Ambient, ethereal, groove-based delta slide blues. Contemplative and melodic. Multiple, layered , sometimes shimmering resonator guitar parts with solid, warm synth bass, an ethereal bed of pads (which are actually guitars) and second electronic drumkit to contrast the acoustic kits. I thought this was perfect a few years ago but it wasn't (and still isn't). Now has clearer drums and lots of small awkward bits of guitar have been trimmed. Quite a minimalistic and short piece for me - I don't just keep bringing in new instruments, as I usually do. This should really chill you out...
Description : This is the song I wrote which expresses my sorrow of the loss of my legendary father, Ike Turner, in December 12, 2007. The music and vocal tells the story.
Description : This song is a message to a personal friend who is need of some "tough love".
UPDATE 07/31/2011: Allen V has graciously added his extremely blessed talent to this track. Allen truly conveyed the story through his guitar. His contribution has taken this song to another level!!
