Roland_Guy Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Here is some piano and orchestra short pieces I worked on earlier this year. All sounds are from the EWQL library. Really like the sound of EWQL Pianos, they don't often get given the attention the deserve IMHO. https://soundcloud.com/lesterleroux/the-rising-sun?in=lesterleroux/sets/piano-spirit Quote Nektar LX61+, iPad 9.7 Inch, Mainstage, Korg Kronos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morizzle Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Hi fellas, here's a demo I've made recently with two colleagues. Recorded with a Tascam US16x08 btw - I have to say, I'm shocked how much quality and sound you can get for a laughable amount of money these days. At home I have the trusty Fireface 800 in my rack - but I'd be hard pressed to find a sonic difference between this and other live stuff I did with the Fireface. Dang!

Morizzle Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Hey Al, thanks a lot! On the ceiling I put one of those tiny rectangular GoPro Hero cameras, I don't know exactly what model.

Doug Robinson Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Very nice, Morizzle. I did something very unusual for me last Tuesday: I sang 9 of my original songs in front of a live audience as part of Songs and Stories, a concert I produced with Jesse Harris (composer of several of Norah Jones' songs including "Don't Know Why") and a cat named Todd Clouser. I don't expect anyone to watch my 37 minute set (includes stories), although there are some pretty good laughs in there and one nice one at the expense of trump, but just watch the opening number if you're intrigued, an instrumental called When Coyote Dreams. It's a nice composition if I say so myself. Written for my dog as I explain in the video afterwards. The sound is my Casio PX5s with an AP and EP layered, through my SpaceStation. Later in the evening, I accompanied Jesse on Don't Know Why and a few from his new album Aquarelle. Talented dude.

Sam CA Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Solo piano: Welcome to the forum Sam. Nice playing and the Ivory II Steinway sounds good. I don't think I know that piece offhand but parts of it sound familiar. But I won't venture a guess... Thank you Dave. Yes, I love Ivory II. They're pretty flexible pianos. All recordings are just some improvisation in certain styles. That's probably why it sounded familiar. You get around very well on the Kronos action. Personally it's never been a favorite of mine. Perhaps with a better sound source, like here, the player connection would be better for me. Quote www.youtube.com/c/InTheMixReviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonizer Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 ....Recorded with a Tascam US16x08 btw .... [video:youtube] Very nice playing .... and recording too! I wanted to ask about your capture of the kit (which sounds very good). Are you using just 4 mics? I noticed your overheads are not even close to being equidistant from the snare. Do you find that close micing the snare makes it so it does not matter if your overhead mics are not equidistant from the snare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find that close micing the snare makes it so it does not matter if your overhead mics are not equidistant from the snare? Hi! Thanks for the warm words Glad you like it! Yes, my standard setup for live jazz drums is just four mics, kick, snare and two overheads (I also experimented with two overheads and a large condenser just above the bass drum, but I'll have to delve into that more to make it work). With the snare mic I have the option to bring forward some frequencies plus the of course the volume balance you mentioned. Usually I'm a bit more careful setting up the overheads, but I did make sure they were at exactly the same height. Quote It's not a clone, it's a Suzuki.

Chris Link Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Driving home late after a gig with the country band I heard an older tune, God Bless Texas and thought about how Nebraska was a tough rhyme (although pairing masses and Texas is actually pretty weak). Once I came up with a rhyme, the rest was pretty straightforward. Debuted appropriately enough at a tailgate in Lincoln. A third verse has been added as it was only two minutes long. Were going to sit down this week and see if we can get started recording it.

Morizzle Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Thanks, Sam. Oh, my actual office is tiny, so I just take the stuff to the places where I rehearse/record.

Mark Schmieder Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Morizzle, that's some amazing playing from all on board, and gives me some hints for how I might be able to pull the Hammond Organ into my own jazz combo gigs (I can't step away from the bass on most songs, and hiring a keyboardist is nigh impossible around these parts). You do a great job with left-hand bass, keeping perfect timing along with a great groove and swing (most organists are nowhere near as good as a real bassist in this regard, but with your playing I don't feel the absence of that player).
