Monday – Feat Wayne Morley (tpt) & Jonny Trobro (bass)
Here’s a first mix of a collaboration I had the opportunity to be part of.
Mark Dorricott on the Keyboards and programming.
Wayne Morley on trumpet.
Me on 5 string Watson SC 5 string bass, modified by UNICORNbass. Recorded with the B7K from Darkglass Electronics, Wonderlove from 3leaf Audio and the FloorQ by JoeMeek.
This week I had the opportunity to work on two different Soundcloud collaboration projects. First song, a jazzy tune in 6/8 featuring both vibraphone and clarinet. Not the everyday instrumentation these days. It was great fun to play in something else than the standard 4/4 time. I found a groove that worked really good with the drums. For this song I used a straight forward clean sound, using only the FloorQ compressor when recording. More effects was used on the second song. This track is also the first with a new collaborator on Soundcloud. Since it’s a track in the “jazzy lounge” genre I aimed for a more synthy sounding bass, running the bass through the B7K distortion from Darkglass Electronics and through some heavy filtering from the Wonderlove by 3leaf Audio. Released in the cloud soon…
A short walk through of the gear used to record “Winter Sun”.
A track with three layers of bass parts. All played on the Watson/UNICORNbass 5 string and recorded through the JoeMeek FloorQ compressor. The bass part also uses the marvelous B7K from Darkglass Electronics.
Inspired by a nice walk in the winter sun, on royal grounds.

Trying out some dirty dark glass.
At last, time to hook up the B7K in the signal chain and see what it does.
Together with the JoeMeek FloorQ it actually make the headphones feel like playing a big bass rig. After the initial tests I feel that getting the B7K was a good thing…
