Description
Though busy with new recordings - to say nothing of a few collabs claiming for attention - I took the time today to tweak in Logic the audio file of an old piece done with the Boss Loop Station I had at the time.
I once wrote concerning that :
"Some years back, before I got a Mac and Logic and some decent gear, I started experimenting with multitrack recording using a Boss Loop-station, that is, not for creating loops, but as a quick and easy way to achieve a similar result. And while it was pretty limited in the number of overdubs one could do with it, which is really about the limitation it had memory-wise or time-wise - though they've got a bigger version out by now - I'm still impressed by how good the recordings I did with such a limited set-up still sound today."
So, here's an ambient, atmospheric piece, all done with my Godin and guitar-synth. It's a simple basic groove over which I laid a series of chord progressions, with some soloing on 'trumpet' in between each of them - where I particularly enjoy the multirhythm overlay of the chords' 4/4 rhythm with the 3/4 of the background groove.
As for the title, well, while a sample of a real whale's song was used in the intro, the overall rhythm recalls the gait of a camel or such animal. Therefore - there we go.
Enjoy.
