BOTM BOTM: July '17 - If I Should Lose You

[U CAN CALL ME AL]

Many apologies Al, I hadn't realised you'd posted this.

And yes, the sop works. I don't know why but it gave me images of winding coastal roads in southern France, filmed in Technicolor in the 60s.

No need to apologize @Veggie Dave but I was really aiming for a B&W railway track!

The second you put your music into the world you lose all control over it. 😉

I love the theme tune to Jean de Florette / Manon Des Sources, it reminds me of summer and lazy afternoons.

My other half finds it incredibly morose and depressing. 😀

Quick and dirty? If that's quick and dirty I can't wait to see the result of a real effort. Lovely sir!

 

[Veggie Dave]

@mrpeebee , you never fail to impress.

I think this month has had a hard battle against the great Film & TV thread, and lost spectacularly, but the few people who've had a go up to now have really shown how great a song this is. You're all stars. 😀

Thanks. 🙂

I could only give this about 20 minutes in total (including practice and recording two takes). Not sure if a real effort would make it much better (I've learned that first takes are often the most spontaneous).

Kudos for doing this on a bari. I bet that gave your lungs a good work out. 😉

I would never have thought about doing this on a bari ... but then I didn't think anyone would do it on a sop, either. I found the lower frequencies gave the song a completely different feel. More gravitas if you like.

Nicely done. 🙂

I have just got round to having a proper look at this, what a great tune. I am going to persevere with it and maybe (note this is not a promise to post ) one day I will have a presentable version.

We need to get the forum together and build you a soundproof room at your place. 🙂 Every note just sounds right, but the EWI simply isn't as good as you are.

It sounded like a promise to me.

Not if it means the kiss of life from a guy flying from Canada.
