Pool Day Jam

By miraclemiles on August 28, 2022 7:05 pm

This song and video is kind of an audio diary of the weekend. Went to a pool and splashed around with the family and the GoPro camera. Later that night, Monstrosus came over with his acoustic guitar and iPad for a little pizza night jam session. I did some light editing, mixing together our jams 3 and 4. The middle parts of the video have some light effects on them from Zwobot in Ableton. It's still summer!

I liked it for completely different reasons before the beat kicked in.

Monstrosus, why is that pizza in the lower left playing the piano like Schroeder from Peanuts?

In quantum mechanics, Schroeder's pizza is a thought experiment that illustrates a paradox of quantum superposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical pizza may be considered simultaneously both alive and dead as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.

I sincerely wish I could favorite comments.

coalesces and scatters all at once, like splashes of vibe in an ocean of rhytmic gravity heart

Just dropping by to say I jived to this and it made for a good Monday night.

That explains everything perfectly! Lol, brilliant. Those pizzas are right on time with the beat. I like to think every pizza pie I bring into my home is a little band ready to play some odd music and paradoxically be in two places at once: playing jazz on my dining room table and sliding into my stomach.

Sounds like a fun weekend.  It's definitely still summer around here and I was in the pool a couple times over the weekend also, so I vibe with this.  Really like the underwater shots in the video and how they sort of meld into the sky shots.

That's cool - which part you like more, before beat or after beat kicks in?
That pizza gif maker was totally inspired by Schroeder!

That is a lovely image, both the gif, and your words. This is brilliant description: "like splashes of vibe in an ocean of rhytmic gravity", thanks for those words! Yeah, I think that's the constant in both jamming live and trying to edit in a song -- dealing with the push pull urges to both coalesce and scatter at the same time

We have also been lucky, last 3 weeks have been the warmest part of the summer so far and still looking good for another couple weeks, glad you could enjoy time with family in the sun.  This track is really interesting, like how it develops from a surfer vibe with the guitar in the first half to becoming quite mysterious by the end.

Pizza Pool Jam party with ipad, guitar, and all percussions one can imagine. The guitar is great, I really dig the mid part with the deep percussion and the bell like synth, and the end sounds like everyone is exhausted after having way more fun than should be legal, and the instruments aim for a well deserved rest.

So much ear candy for a fun pizza party yikes  The drums bouncing around the main beat have a really cool effect too.  Def a cool idea using inspiration from the fun outdoor sunny vibes.

Thank you, glad you are having some good weather up there too, hope you're enjoying, sounded like you were! I hadn't thought of surfer vibe but hear it now, I like surf music, would be fun to make some surf beats. Fun to try and mix a couple different ideas into on thing, convenient, but a fun challenge too.

Ha, yes! That's a good day at the pool. If only we had instruments there at the pool too, that would be true party, but the one we imagined here is just as good. All the percussions one can imagine sounds like an album I'd like to make some day smile Thanks  for the comment!

Gotta have that ear candy for dessert, heck for the main course too! I hasn't really thought the jams were too sunny pool time at first, but they happened on the same day, and after hearing together, I suppose it works smile Thanks for checking it out and joining the party. I wish I could have pizza party with all you WB fwends!

I always appreciate a good dip! Nice you had some pool time too. Starting to get cool now though, maybe no more dips. Glad you liked imagery, the sky shots were shot from underwater too, the gopro has been fun.
