Description
This is a song that originally started off as something completely different, with the only similar thing being the time signature. The majority of whats being played in this song was recorded with my only condenser mic... yeah thats right... every part of the drum kit was recorded separately... with good and bad results.
This song is still in its draft form because for starters, I want a soloist in there. Idealy a reed or guitar player, but I'm pretty open to ideas.
I also want any suggestions from people about what works and doesn't work so far. For example, I think the recording of the cymbals worked quite nicely (even though they are dodgy cymbals), but my snare and bass drum sound like cardboard so I might sample them for the final version.
Other than that... this piece is mostly in 17/8, divided up into 3 groups of 4 and one group of 5. There is one slow section (double bass solo) where it becomes 9/4 (alternates between 4 and 5) but thats easier to play to anyway. I'm going for a live 60s 70s or so fusion/beebop type sound and groove... hence the audience at the beginnign and end.
If anyone wants to solo make sure to email and I'll tell you everything you need to know.

Awesome beat, although kind of hard to follow. I lost count after a few
beats, then I didn't find it again until after the slow section - that's a good
thing.
I think you're right about the drums, they sound pretty raw compared to
the rest of the ensemble, which is pretty darn smooth. I really like the
cymbals and the rest of the percussion, though.
Now we'll just wait for a brave soloist, for this'll be quite the challenge.
Great!
