Bossa for a charmer

This is the same as the “chirping” bossa from two days ago – with an addtional very nice harp played by Thierry:

Alpine chalet

User “frankiejazz” on Wikiloops had uploaded a really nice track of some acoustic guitars and some percussion which sounds much like a cajon. And since he chose “Alpine chalet” as a title for his song, another user commented with a picture of such a castle:

There are two remixes I also really liked, and so I wasn’t sure on which I should play myself. I downloaded Franco’s template track first, and recorded myself over it:

But since I liked these remixes as well, I also downloaded them, and tried the same bass on it. So here’s one with “Pit Brett” playing harp over Frankie’s original template, plus my same bass like before:

And the second remix with keys worked as well:

While uploading all this I discovered the next great track already. But that will be dealt with later.

Thanks for listening.

A bossa & chirping

That is Peter’s working title after he performed as a great whistler on a template from FrankieJ. And because I love bossa, and loved his whistling even more, I couldn’t resist to add some bass to it. It’s still not ready yet – another solo, or some vocals would make it more complete. But have a listen:

Carlos and friends again

I have reported about Carlos Eiene and his insaneintherain Youtube music channel before (search for it). And just today I saw his latest collaboration with some friends. A cover as usual, but he’s the arranger and writes many of the parts himself. Listen to some very talented young people who obviously have fun doing what they’re doing…

Enjoyed it? Told you these guys (and girls) are good 😉 Maybe we should invite them all over to Wikiloops for some jamming on own compositions… 🙂

Thanks for reading.

An ad. But wow, what an ad!

Watch this:

Seems that Yamaha has some real innovators in their ranks. Good for them, and this also gives hope for Ampeg, whom they just bought…

Enjoy. I know I did.

Khruangbin

Discovered this a few days ago:

Then today, I saw this:

And if you want to hear them telling their story, watch this:

More on Wikipedia. And you can buy their music on Bandcamp.

Reminds me of times long gone. Good times.

Enjoy.

Play it loud! on wikiloops.com

After the first Wikiloops video project to celebrate its 7th anniversary (that was published on May 1st, and called ‘Worldwide Disco’), here’s a second one. This time it’s an all-American virtual rock band of people, some of which I’ve played with myself already:

More to follow soon. Enjoy! And come and join us if you like.

Thanks for watching!
