When Clay was mixing the audio from this recording session, he mentioned that he “thought it had a bit of Ralph Towner, Oregon-ish vibe to it.” I’m sure this is true, as Ralph Towner is my biggest influence on my compositions, although the chord changes to this piece are actually based on a Charlie Mariano song (as usual, the sheet music is available). It’s definitely not a strictly “jazz” song. For those of you looking for that, though, don’t worry – we have some more bebop coming soon.
Regular listeners/watchers will notice a couple off differences in our setup this week. The first is simple: we’re using an electronic keyboard for the piece instead of the acoustic piano. It seemed to fit the vibe of the song.
The second is more significant: we are recording using microphones and ProTools rather than the built-in mics on the cameras. Although we won’t be able to do this for all of our videos, we should be able to for most, meaning the sound quality will be much better than it was before. Let us know what you think.
Love it guys! Inspiring undertaking and the tunes are wonderful! I also pine for Clay’s home studio setup now. Thanks for that…. 😉
Thanks Damian. Yeah, Clay’s got a pretty nice setup. Hoping we can get you in on this project sometime soon.
Great work! Love the new setup, and the EP brings a nice change. Almost wished for this song to be played a little bit faster and maybe accompanied by a percussive instrument
The new sound set up is excellent. Loving this project.
Thanks Cami – we’re pretty excited about the new sound setup. We’re also pretty excited about being on Strange Love Live next month!
this is a nice tune thanks the new set up sounds pretty good as well
