Bach On a Beer-Can
If you blow an empty beer-can just the way you'd blow a bottle, you can, with a bit of experimenting, find some quite nice organ-like sounds. This rendition is built upon such a sound.
This was done in 2000. I had a peroid (a happy one) when I was penciling music with the great app 'Melody Assistant'. This piece is JS Bachs Preludium in D minor, that he wrote for lute. Here penciled and somewhat jazzed and with a home-made beer-can-blowing sample. Apart from the drums, the only instrument is that sampled single beer-can-blow (including the bass).
Please excuse the drums .. I can't use the old Melody Assistant app anymore since my present Mac can not take OS9. So I'll have to stick with what I did back in 2000.
I had no intention of posting this one until the other day, when my nine year old son heard it and said is was "very very cool". Since I trust his musical ear and taste, I want to test in on you MacJammers too .. and of course, on a second consideration, I too can feel that it is a quite cool ..
In a previous post Honey Jar Bach is the same tune but with a sampled tapping-on-the-lid-of-a-honey-jar sound.
