Soundcloud – Bass Groove Directive

March 22, 2013 — Leave a comment

Another collaboration with Mark Dorricott.
This has been the fastest turnaround yet. Heard the first version of the song on wednesday, asked Mark if he wanted me to go crazy on it. Received the files on thursday morning, and about two hours later the finished mix was up in the cloud.

Three tracks:

  1. Bassline: Bass EQ all the way up, bass through the 3leaf Audio Wonderlove and a hard working JoeMeek FloorQ. Really using all the bad character of the JoeMeek to shape the sound.
  2. Slap embellishments: Just a clean sound
  3. Solo: clean sound with bass cut, and extra hi mid.

The onboard EQ from UNICORNbass really had to work on this session. And it delivered! The best onboard electronics I’ve ever tried.

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.

Never Turn Me Down – The Peter Bennborn Project

February 5, 2013 — 1 Comment

The Next chapter in the Peter Bennborn Project story, featuring myself on bass, this time also in a little solo spot. 

For this song I delivered 5 separate bass tracks. The outcome is very different from the original sketches this time.

  1. The verses are played fingerstyle, Watson/Unicorn 5 string through JoeMeek FloorQ compressor. New strings on the bass.
  2. The slap bass in the choruses, Watson/Unicorn 5 string through JoeMeek FloorQ compressor. New strings on the bass.
  3. The sub octave in the choruses, played palm muted and retuned to low A. Watson/Unicorn 5 string through JoeMeek FloorQ compressor. New strings on the bass.
  4. The low bass during the solo. Fingerstyle Watson/Unicorn 5 string through 3leaf Audio Wonderlove with JoeMeek FloorQ compressor in the loop. Old strings
  5. The solo! Watson/Unicorn 5 string through JoeMeek FloorQ compressor. New strings on the bass.

Recorded in Presonus Studio One with Apogee Duet II.

Time for some ass kickin’ greazy FUNK, inspired by Chaka Khan! Sizzlin’, steamin’ Michelle backed up by the tight groove of “The Funk Unit”. Turn it on, turn it up!!!
