Just jammin'

[VicDiesel]

I wanted to throw together some disparate elements.

This track has a Cajon (flamenco box drum), a bass viol, 4 bass recorders, a bass guitar, and some software instruments.

Enjoy.

Victor.

Cool! I don't think I've ever heard a Cajon or a bass recorder before. Actually, I'm not sure I've heared a bass viol either. Oh, and that's a fretless bass, right?

As I have said before: You are an undiscovered artist on Rephlex Records, or Skam Records…

Good thing!



Regards

Cajon: box drum. You sit on it and slap the front, which is a loosely bolted panel. Originally a flamenco instrument.

Bass recorder: not all that low, but played with other recorders it sounds relatively deep. Lowest note is only F below middle C.

Bass viol: tuned in fourths, D-G-C-E-A-D, has frets. Went out of fashion around 1700.

Bass guitar: yep. Fretless.

You have one?! Or is it just rendered using a copmuter?

No, I have one. I'm pretty big on early music. Recorder is my main instrument, but I play viol with some people in town, just for fun. There is some great 5 and 6 part viol music, for instance by Gibbons.

Awesomeness. What other early instruments do you play?

Really nice, I enjoyed it a lot.
