Dr. Sample 202

The Sp-202 is a fun gadget. I did these entirely on an Sp-202. And many more, currently lost to time.
I did this this summer. It has words, too. I'm rather proud of it.

i love all SPs and use my 404-SX all the time. i'd love to mess around with some of the older ones (mostly for the effects), if it wasn't such a pain to load samples on (i.e. ebaying old memory cards).

Best song I have to learn at least part of for a cabaret performance

Played a really fun little local street/pub festival at the weekend and we're slowly getting a bit of a reputation. Can't believe how different it feels performing in front of a group of people compared to practicing at home. Something about having to actually 'perform' in front of people other than my bandmates makes me completely forget what I'm supposed to be doing. I'll also never get the hang of sound checks/being able to get an idea of what we sound like when we play live. My memory of it was pure chaos with just, like, a wailing voice over a thundering buzzing sound, but people said we sounded great, so...

Yes! Had a realization this summer that I had got into playing music when I was 10 because I wanted to play bass, but my parents made me take guitar lessons because they owned a guard and that just spiraled into me being a guitar player. So broke down and bought a bass last month at age 34. Fuck. I feel so much better about my musical life at the moment. Have to learn how to play bass now, as I've already gone through all the basslines I'd learned to play on guitar, but I'm very stoked about it.

Well my band for the first time in probably 13 months doesn't have any upcoming gigs booked, as the club we were going to play in a couple weeks has closed. So far we got to do 12 shows this year. It's not a huge number but the crazy thing is we mostly play shows like 2 hours away more, as there are just no local gigs doing what we do.
Eh...I'm ready to do some recording and writing some new tunes anyway.

Feeling good about my latest 'choons to the point where I'm starting to think about seeking out live performances. And then I realize: that's me playing all the parts on my demos and I haven't played my songs for anyone else.
So much for that idea.
Here's my most recent thing. It's very stock jangle pop sounding. But that's what we like:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArzwVqXK6po

As menshed elsewhere last night was pretty much my first proper time performing live, even if it were just vox/harmonies. It was super fun though, helped by the fact my bandmates are amazing,talented men who write music I actively really enjoy. So proud of us.

- I've been writing a lot of chamber music this year. Most exciting is a ballet, the National Ballet of Canada are performing it in November. Orchestra + solo soprano + harpsichord. Anybody who'd like to hear MIDI and see PDF can PM me about it.
- It seems I am writing a vocal piece for Hilliard Ensemble with another ILXor on the words and I bet you can guess who
- Diam4nda Gal4s played a festival that I curated in Lausanne. Unfortunately I could not attend because I am busy in Montreal. But: I got word from my friend doing her makeup that aside from being a lovely person to work with, she is a fan of Mariah. "I love her," she said, when looking at some Mariah brand nail polish. How about that? It's like *sigh of relief*

- sat up way late last night trying out the studio mic ive had set up in my room forever and not used (issues with room reverb i had to fix). Dear god, it shits all over my beaten up old SM57. I dont have to STRAIN when I sing.

Picked up my tele this morning for the first time since buying the bass about a month ago. It felt like a mandolin. The bass is so much more comfortable for me.

After our rehearsal last night, I think the spiritual ensemble concert on Sunday will be okay. As of Monday, I thought it was going to be a massive trainwreck, so that's a good thing.

convinced highly skeptical bandmate that bass through the slowgear clone pedal -> heavy metal 2 pedal would sound awesome.

how cool did it sound
― fresh (crüt), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 22:01 (ten years ago) link
is it good for basslines or is it more suitable for abstract/extended technique playing
― fresh (crüt), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 22:02 (ten years ago) link
it sounds as close to a distorted amplified cello as I think I can get with a bass and no computer/midi. It only works well when played slow or at moderate tempo, but it is almost exactly what I wanted it to sound like.
― not some dude poking a Line 6 pedal with his dick (sarahell), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 22:07 (ten years ago) link
n.b. i have only been playing bass for about a year, after having played for about a year as a teenager, so it might work differently for a better bass player

Been trying out a new bass playing technique by holding the neck higher and holding my fingers so they point down rather than across the neck, playing the strings with the sides of my fingers a bit like a double bass. I'm self taught but this seemed to help my playing somewhat (less encouraged to play with my thumb), whereas I'd almost always approached the bass like a finger style guitar with a finger on each string. Am I doing the right thing here?

wait, dl, do you mean with your fingers pointing straight up? and do you mean your fretting or picking hand?
― 1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Monday, 7 October 2013 23:04 (ten years ago) link
picking hand. before, i was holding my hand into a sort of claw with a thumb/finger for each string. I knew i was doing it wrong, but it's what came natural. I'm trying to use the resting thumb/two finger technique now, but I'm playing it a bit more like an upright bass (although maybe not that extreme).
