pure joy

Got an awesome remix from Peter (Pewi) onto a simple template of mine where I played a one-handed keyboard for chords, and then a simple bass line on top of it. Peter turned it into something magical. Listen:

Thanks so much Peter, it’s an honour if you pick up something as simple as that and make something so beautiful out of it. Thanks to everyone else for listening.

S’more Funky in Em

Another fine template from Mark, and I couldn’t resist. This one I took over into Ardour 6 on Windows where I also had some new freebies like pedals, amp sims and such – and which by default sounded much more aggressive than what I normally use on Linux. But I thought that might fit here, so here you go:

Thanks for the fun to Mark again, and thanks to you for listening.

S’more Samba in Bb

Awesome drum template from Mark again, so I took my bass and added a little progression in Bb onto it:

Thanks to Mark for all the fun, and thanks to you for listening.

Played around with Guitarix plugins today, on an awesome track from Mark, Julio, and Xavi. This is the result – and play it loud:

This is what the setup of Guitarix effects looked like on my screen:

And some of these plugins and effects surely have funny names:

Thanks to my friends for all the fun, and thanks to you for listening. :W

This is from Sunday, in collaboration with Philip who wrote and sang his awesome polyrhythmic template – so I tried to stay polyrhythmic myself as well:

Thanks to Filo974 for the fun, thanks to you for listening.

May 22a / One of these days

Yesterday I threw away all of my preset templates which I had made in Ardour – I had way too many, now I have one. And that is based upon the GxSVT amp simulation; I once had an Ampeg SVT amplifier and 2 cabinets, and I think that one would fit pretty well to a P (“Precision”) bass like the one I have.

So I took two tracks and played on them with that new sound setup. Here they are:

As always, clicking on the track IDs will lead you to the song within Wikiloops.

Thanks to Mark and Frankie for their awesome templates, and thanks to you for listening.

Roll away

Here’s another fine take on John’s (Fanne’s) wonderful Celtic song – it’s almost like a reply onto the one from Brian, wonderfully composed and performed by Shi:

I’ve had so much fun with this one, thank you very much my dear friends – and thanks to you for listening to it 🙂

Thanks for listening.

News from Lizy

This is from yesterday after work (between about 1700 to 1900 CEST), and what I wrote in Wikiloops about the song is this:

“Fell in love with this beautiful piece from Phil and from SilverOne at first hearing, so I decided to add a bit of a bottom end with my fretless to it. Also doubled the main melody. Thanks for this cool jam my friends, that was fun! smile Hope you like it…”

So thanks to Filo974 and to SilverOne for the incredible music, and thanks to you for listening. Hope you liked it as much as I did when playing onto it.

As always, thanks for reading, and for listening. Come and join us at Wikiloops to make some more nice music.

A little something that we need…

I was just congratulating another fellow Wikiloops musician for another one of his nice template tracks when I saw this little box beside his track:

And when clicking that blue hyperlink in it, it took me to the Wikiloops Knowledge base where this is explained in a bit more detailed way:

So yes, besides really contributing to the project as a whole (and as such, to us all), this what’s asked here is cost-free and still means a lot to some of us – so please if you like something, give the musicians kind of a nod, and a thumbs up. Kindness doesn’t cost you anything else than that 🙂

And if you can, then please support Wikiloops. It’s all which some of us have in these times of being locked to our homes…

Thank you 🙂
