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.
