Looks like an incredibly cool little machine! However, it seems this particular hunk of cheese will set you back around $800. Unfortunatley, my "gear money" is allocated elsewhere at the moment.
-
You think that's cool, kanker can play the whole thing with his wang.
NOW it makes sense! That would explain whole "chords don't exist" thing.
-
I'm so far behind in my listening...
Steve - Solar was mind-blowing! Man, I'm running out of superlatives to describe your work!
-
Really great, you two. I've got the 4trk stems to sgt p. I should upload them to you two and you guys do something with the real guys in the mix.
Thanks Linwood! Regarding Sgt. Pepper, after the the tongue lashing Pat Metheney gave to Kenny G for treading on a Louie Armstrong track - I wouldn't dare!
-
Sue/Dave - Thanks! I think...
Here is a brief history of the abuse we put this song through:
ORIGINAL VERSION: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icdfIGOXIFI
REHARM #1 http://www.remainsmusic.com/audio/bsrs.mp3
REHARM #2 http://stashbox.org/387174/And..YBCS.mov
I did the vocal arrangement quite a while ago (same time frame as the Rigby thing). It was mostly just an experiment to amuse myself. I liked the intro and the slower "ballad" section, but I considered the rest to be pretty much a throw-away. Also, I used very poor mic pre's which made the vocals rather harsh.
It sent the recording to Steve a couple of weeks ago, and he turned it into something really fun! I'm beginning to think I could send Steve a recording of fingernails on a blackboard and he could make something musical out of it!
Dave - just curious, have you ever heard the Revolver "take 2" version of And Your Bird Can sing?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy3rSm_8Ydg This is the version I WISH they had released - great groove! McCartney's bass line is sublime.
-
Piano4U, Sue, Dave, Linwood - thanks so much for the kind words! To be honest, I had some hesitation about inflicting this old, broken-down vocal arrangement upon y'all once again (like a bad penny, it just keeps coming back), but I just love what Steve added. He has some of the finest ears I've ever encountered!

SK, regarding "Confirmation" and "I Love You" - you are amazing my friend!
-
"Bouncing with Bud" by Bud Powell.
That was fantastic Dave!
-
Here's one more I did last night.
Billy Strayhorn's "Isfahan":
Dave - that was great! You have a wonderful "laid-back" style on this tune - I really dig the heck out of your playing!!

Kad,
How many voices were there? Any doubling or chorusing used? It's very thick....
Hey Mark,
No effects other than reverb. Each track is at least doubled - in some cases tripled or quadrupled. I like a "big" sound - within reason of course.
The arrangement varies from simple 4 part harmony to upwards of 10 parts in some places. Thanks for your comments!
Kirk
-
Thank you everyone for the kind words. Let me reiterate that I've been more than humbled by all of your contributions!
Hey Dave - yes, for better or worse, every voice in that recording is mine.
Thanks again!! Kirk
-
Yea kad. That's always been one of my favorite things I've ever heard here on the corner. Really good stuff. I'm a huge Beatles fan. I still listen to that catalog all the time and it's like I'm hearing it for the first time. Love your arr.
Thanks so much Linwood. You've posted so much great stuff here I wouldn't know where to start!
-
Truly beautifully done, kad. Not just the imaginative harmonies, but the sustained chords (and arrangement) elevate it to something more.
Applause, and thanks for putting it up.
Jazzwee - Thank you from all of us, and take your time... there's a lot of stuff on these pages.
Thank you Steve. I'm really embarrassed about posting something I did around 7 years ago when you manage to turn out phenomenal arrangements on a daily basis!! I look forward to contributing new stuff when life settles down a bit. In the mean time, keep your inspiring stuff coming!
-
I've avoided posting this link since this arrangement appears on one of the KC Comp CDs. However, I decided to go ahead and post it for three reasons:
1) It has an intro that I edited from the comp version in the interest of track length.
2) I feel awful about the fact that I haven't had time to contribute to this great thread thus far.
3) SK asked me to post it, and Steve is THE MAN!!
This is a vocal arrangement I did for the Beatles's "Here, There and Everywhere": http://www.remainsmusic.com/audio/hte.mp3

The versions of The More I See You I know were by Chris Montez and a classic B3 version by Richard Groove Holmes.
I saw Richard Groove Holmes in a Philadelphia jazz club when I was in high school or college. His young kids were running around the club while he was working. He really was a great player.
That was really nice Dave. You have a tendency to add enough "reharm" to make it interesting, while remaining faithful to the original changes - nicely done. Regarding "The More I See You", the Singers Unlimited version is really wonderful.
-
That was really fantastic Mark!!
-
SK - I'm dying to hear your stuff, but every time I go to divshare I get bombarded with pop-ups, and I have to back out.
-
What a positively fantastic idea for a thread!! Time permitting, I will definitely contribute. I also like Kevin's idea of everyone doing a reharm of the same tune/passage. This could be very inspiring.

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.
The next day the kids came back to school and one by one began to tell their stories.
"Tony, do you have a story to share?"
"Yes ma'am. My daddy told a story about my Aunt Karen.
She was a pilot in Desert Storm and her plane got hit.
She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol and a survival knife.
She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break and then her parachute landed her right in the middle of twenty enemy troops.
She shot fifteen of them with the gun until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands."
"Good Heavens" said the horrified teacher. "What kind of moral did your daddy tell you from this horrible story?"
"Stay the f*** away from Aunt Karen when she's drinking."
That was glorious!!! :grin:

An extraordinarily handsome man decided he had the responsibility to marry the perfect woman so they could produce beautiful children beyond compare.
With that as his mission he began to search for the perfect woman.
Shortly thereafter he met a Redneck who had three stunning, gorgeous daughters that positively took his breath away. So he explained his mission to the Redneck and asked for permission to marry one of them.
The Redneck simply replied, " They're lookin' to get married, so you came to the right place. Look 'em over and pick the one you want."
The man dated the first daughter. The next day the Redneck asked for the man's opinion.
"Well," said the man, "she's just a weeeeee bit, not that you can hardly notice ... pigeon-toed."
The Redneck nodded and suggested the man date one of the other girls; so the man went out with the second daughter.
The next day, the Redneck again asked how things went.
"Well, "the man replied, "she's just a weeeee bit, not that you can hardly tell... cross-eyed."
The Redneck nodded and suggested he date the third girl to see if things might be better. So he did.
The next morning the man rushed in exclaiming,
"She's perfect, just perfect. She's the one I want to marry."
So they were wed right away. Months later the baby was born. When the man visited the nursery he was horrified: the baby was
the ugliest human you can imagine. He rushed to his father-in-law and asked how such a thing could happen considering the beauty of the parents.
"Well," explained the Redneck, "she was just a weeeee bit, not that you could hardly tell ...
pregnant when you met her."

Cydonia,
I am a Chopin freak and that was a really nice rendition - thanks for posting!
Can I ask what you used to record it? It sounds like "the" classic Kurzweil piano sample from the K250/K1000/K2000... Where is the reverb coming from? It works very well for this piece.
Thanks!

According to Dave's website: "It is available now with an MSRP of $879.00 and an MAP of $799.00."
That's not to say it's not worth it...
