Hey all, well as you might have found out/overheard/be completely oblivious to, I've finally been managing to get a band together.I guess I'm posting this cos I'm excited! At the moment, it's a trio - a bassist who's into electronica, a drummer whose into 70's synth prog stuff, and me, a rock guitarist who wishes he could play jazz/avant garde.
Well, we've only practised twice now, and we recorded parts of the second rehearsal on Monday night. The music is completely improvised - it veers between funky stuff, to more composed cyclical instrumental pieces to full on wierdo-jazz things. I'm enjoying it - we're currently looking at getting some samplers and laptops involved, possibly; it's pretty open-minded!
So, here's a jam from Monday night. It's completely spontaneous and unrehearsed, and as I say, it's only from our second rehearsal so we're still getting to know each other. The recording quality isn't great (we only had one mic) - this is why I haven't posted it in the Player's Room - but it's still pretty passable, although my guitar has a tendency to get lost in the mix on solos.
Speaking of guitars, the set-up was my new Strat thing with Mothers Milk/Crawlers, a fuzz, and a JCM800. It would be interesting to hear what you think of it (bearing in mind that it's only a jam!):
Jam-o-zoid
