New recording!

[fingerstyle]

(Mods: this isn't a double post, i put this in the beginners forum by accident)

Hey guys,

I've arranged and recorded a new song today. It's called A Ballad for Doll, and is orginally by Jackie McLean. It's very 'modern', slightly atonal and there's some dissonence. It's very pretty at the same time, though.

I used bass for melody, MIDI music box to double melody, and a MIDI vibraphone for chordal accompanyment. They sounded harsh and crap, so I used some creative effects to make them a bit more natural.

[fingerstyle]

Yeah its kinda looong.... its only a 14 bar head, but its at like 57 bpm

......ehhhhhh....... -shrug- I don't like your tone. Just not my style I guess.

^Thanks. I'll make sure I don't play fingerstyle next time.

Ha ha, I liked your tone man, fitted in just right. It was a great arrangement too, those vibes were haunting. Do you have to do stuff like this for your degree?

[fingerstyle]

It's hard to say.

This kinda stuff would be mainly reserved for the composition major students, but I would be doing a minor of compostion so there will be an aspect of it in my degree.

My major is jazz/contemporary performance.

And yeah, the vibes made the dissonant chords sound the eeriest, I thought. And the music boc thing, doubling the lead, just has this disturbed kind of vibe to it.

Thanks!
