My first attempt at recording my (almost) daily practice-room run... A lot of fooling around, taking advantage of a little natural reverb, followed by some gratuitous improv-stuff...
If you listen closely, you can tell there are two separate piano tracks: one that plays throughout the "body" of the song I sing, and the other overlaid, which spills over where the first stops. If you listen really REALLY closely, you'll be able to tell that they're not just two different tracks-- they're two totally different pianos. Both upright, neither in proper tune, both with broken keys, but with totally different characteristics. The one that plays during the real song is very heavy and agressive-- that's the yamaha-- and the other is twinkly and tinny and somewhat like a music box, which amounts to a certain degree of suckage when you're trying to be dramatic and statement-making, but is kind of nice when you're fiddling around and want an ethereal sound.

Joplin's SUGAR CANE RAG (1908)
by georgeptingley
I continue my survey of Scott Joplin's New York rags with SUGAR CANE RAG, a piece composed exactly 100 years ago and music modelled very much on Joplin's MAPLE LEAF RAG published nine years earlier. Learning a Joplin rag is like falling in love: you begin by questioning what you've got yourself into and only later do you realize that you are hopelessly enamored. Good thing there are still more rags to fall in love with if you know what I mean. Lol! Enjoy as always.
Pianist George Peter Tingley perfomrs Scott Joplin's SUGAR CANE: A Ragtime Two-Step (1908).

Messing With The Machine
by Sloparts
This is another song I put together for the LIOLI challenge. It's really a story put to music and sound about going up to try and destroy a space station and it's weapons system.
32 tracks of sound effects and 23 track of musical background tell the tale. I hope you enjoy it, it was a lot of fun to do.
Be well and be cool,

Rockin' The Clav
by Sloparts
This song came about because of a Loop It Or Lose It challenge over on Macjams.
The idea, for those not familiar, is to take a really bad sounding loop and make a song out of it. The loop used this time was the "Walking Clav 01" loop in GB and Logic.
To make this song,I used the "Walking Clav 01" loop on no less than 3 track in this. The loop is used as it came playing a Clav, also as a Percussion Organ, and at 1/2 speed it is also the bass line for the song.
There is also a track with drums loops made from "70s Street Drums" (numbers 03,05,06,07,09,10, & 11), and 4 tracks of guitar parts., 2 leads and 2 rhythm parts. I played the first lead part on the Peavey Generation EXP and the other on the Ibamez RX-40. The rhythm parts are comprised of loops, one being "Spacious Guitar 04" (acoustic rhythm) and the other being "Chunk Delay Chords 06",
I hope you enjoy the song as it came out, but if not be sure to let me know why not so I can fix it for the next one I do.
Be well and be cool,
Ed
