6 steps

So I finally played a bass onto that awesome track from OliVBee, Marceys, WhiteDrum55, and Moonchild, keeping my double length template for it:

That one was real fun to work with. Thanks for listening. And now I’m really curious if anything else will be added… 🙂

6 steps, extended mix, no bass

Just made an extended dancefloor version of a really groovy track on Wikiloops. Just sliced & diced & cut this, no bass or other own instruments involved until now:

List of musicians, so far:

That’s 6 musicians, the current maximum number – so future adds will have to leave out at least myself. But these could also be uploaded onto WD55’s remix if a reference to moonchild is made…

Thanks for listening. Now enjoy again, and dance a little. Have a nice weekend my friends.

Update, from Saturday evening (some 10 hours later):

I’ve made a new template with a slightly different remix, and to make future adds a bit easier:

Wolfgang and the Gang, by ArkRockStudio

Someone on Wikiloops took my brush playing and finger snapping from the “Unicorn dance” track to start a new and funny template:

So except of myself who couldn’t be shown in it, the single musician so far is:

I’m curious if this will have some remixes. Hard to say, because it sounds almost complete (and like elevator music hahaha) 🙂

So I’m feeling honoured, thanks man! And thanks to anyone who listened to it! Try to finger snap over 3 minutes in front of a microphone, it ain’t that easy! 🙂

Nuestros corazones españoles

Awesome Spanish theme from Arnosolo, Jamlady, and Pewi – under which I just laid a bit of groundwork:

Thanks for the great jam, my friends, and thanks to you, dear readers, for listening.

Edit, from late Sunday evening:

After uploading that track, I realized that I had missed Robjol’s remix – so I did another upload after his:

Many thanks go to “Jypeka” and to his adorable little girl 🙂 Isn’t Wikiloops a great place to be in? I just love it there! 🙂

On this version, all drums & bass are from Arnosolo, not from me 🙂

Beneath the waves

This is a premiere weekend. I not only uploaded my first track making noise with jazz brushes and finger snapping yesterday; today I also uploaded my first (music) video into my Youtube channel. It’s only a remix of what was there before, like the music in it:

Teach my unicorn to dance

Such a wonderful track from Arnosolo and Shi – I just downloaded Arno’s first template (ukulele and guitar) and Shi’s vocals and added jazz brushes, finger snaps, and my bass. Sounds like this:

Don’t touch Eb

A few days ago I was searching for a capella pieces to improve my mixing / sound design skills. Found a short and sweet one from Shi, loaded it up into my DAW (digital audio workstation for the non-recorders amongst you), and got working. And when I thought it was quite ok, I exported it, and sent the result back to Shi. Looked like this:

Export of Shi's track in my DAW

Then I determined the tempo (88.226 bpm), and made a click track. And after the usual count-in, I let it click on the 2s and 4s, to get a feeling for the “groove” of the track. And then I took my bass, and started playing around with it.

Shi’s original title was “Don’t touch it!”, and because the song seemed to fit nicely into a simple 2-5-1 progression on E flat (Eb, in German called “es”), I thought about translating it to German like in: “Fass Es nicht an!”. But Wikiloops is an international platform and has an international audience, so I called it like in the title of this article. And here’s the result:
