tuesday jam

By Q-Rosh on October 13, 2024 5:07 pm

on tuesday I had a very nice jam with Günther on the Rhodes and me with my guitarpedals. this was the basement for this track, which I extended with clarinet, saxophone, flute, harmonica, sitar, edrums and some hiphopbeats I sampled from several EP`s. I ended up with 150 audiotracks, which are up to 4-8 different channels from the microphones or effects, just for a single instrument in mono. It was a monstereffort to find the right parts and to balance, EQ and master them. It took me the whole weekend. I did not know what the song would be like in the end, but I was going for a journey through different genres and spaces. You can hardly hear the initial music from the jam anymore, but who likes, can listen the Wilcox-Raw-Cats recording on polycarboate on weeklybeats. there you find some minutes of our session. I am grateful to be able to play with Günther, who has over 70 years practise on the jazzpiano. The windinstruments just sound the way they do, because they have a great jazzfloor underneath.
Such gigantic projects like this, I probably cannot make this year again, because my 2 weeks of vaccation is over now and the cliniclife gets me back.

So smooth

what a fantastic journey, Q-Rosh!
very cool that you and Günther were able to get in some jam time on your vacation, and what a spacey and vibrant foundation the jam created for you to layer on.
150 tracks! you are very good at mixing, everything sounds so nice together.
gonna head over and check out the Wilcox track now

Wow, 150 tracks is quite something!  You do an excellent job (as always) of utilizing all the sounds and taking us on a sonic journey without things getting too messy, muddy, or overly busy. 

incredible trip, so many little cool parts, love the soundscape around 6 minutes in, the cymbals, everything. really impressive

150 audio tracks would kill my brain to capture in a weekly beat. The arrangement, instrumentation, and mix truly deliver, that was an awesome journey.

This feels like I'm tuning into a satellite capturing all the genres as it orbits the planet. Günther sounds great on the rhodes.  You did an amazing job wrangling in 150 tracks yikes  Everything seamlessly sounds like it's one recording.  The woodwinds with the rhodes give it that extra space appeal to me.  Ooof the drums at 6:12 hit me right in the soul.  Excellent work!
