Description:
What would "duelling banjos" sound like if it was written in Turkey?
This song is mostly an exercise in (really) strange time signatures: it's mostly in 17, with an occasional 19.
And it was fun to do.
Hardware:
The percussion part was played on my favourite doumbek.
Software:
The solo instruments (Oud, Sarod, Canun) are from PlugSound. Trilogy bass dirtified with Cyanide. Omnisynth Kalimba.

I can visualize a couple of guys from Turkey with a big mustache duelling here. I have no reference to on how these instruments sound live, but these midi ones sounds good.
Did you play the perc. on a real instrument? [ Reply to This ]

Thanks.
The percussion was played on a real doumbek, but I used a bitslicer to quantize
it, and to be able to change the tempo. Initially I played it faster. You can
probably hear from the intro that the basic rhythm has at least half a dozen
different strokes in it.

Wow! Impressive stuff goin here - I LOVE handrums of all types * I
collect them* This is very cool - Did this take alot of time to put
togethr; I'm really courious - I really like this, but I have a feeling that
you knew that I would - Thanks for being so persistent in getting my
attention, Vic (?) - I appreciate what you've done here - You gotta do
more of this stuff - Thanks for sharing - Dion [ Reply to This ]

I like handdrums too. I own a couple of doumbeks, some framedrums, and a riq.
If I'd taken more time I would have added riq part.
It's only a recent development that I've added live instruments to my music. All
of my old tracks (as TennesseeVic) were completely software.
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for commenting.

Well done &mdash 04/24/06 - 07:10:06 PM
I wish the download button were available. I'd play this over and over. Little else to say here. Me like!
Cheers. [ Reply to This ]
Excellent &mdash 04/24/06 - 07:16:48 PM
I enjoyed this a great deal - and I felt the piece flowed quite nicely and I
enjoyed the playful melody and arrangement.
I'd like to hear Shakti/Jonas Hellborg/Trilok Gurtu give this a shot. [ Reply to This ]
Dueling is such... &mdash 04/24/06 - 11:19:57 PM
sweet Sarod! This is really cool Vic. Excellent job on the ethnic drums.
Have you ever heard Boiled-In-Lead's Robin Anders? He's a master. I love
this sort of thing. This one made my evening.
be well! [ Reply to This ]
Lots of fun &mdash 04/25/06 - 03:28:10 AM
I really enjoyed this! You mention that is is an exercise, but to me it is
worthy of further exploration. I like the false ending, and the
progressively longer and faster licks that are being traded. But I think you
could do more with it, if you felt so inclined.
Thanks for posting this! [ Reply to This ]
Turkish delight! &mdash 04/25/06 - 06:15:51 AM
(He checks to make sure nobody used that one yet...)
Really neat, not-yer-usual sort of instrumental. It doesn't feel like an
experiment. If feels like music. It's got rhythm and flow and it's engaging,
easy to stay with...
Gotta come back for a download.

Short but very sweet! &mdash 04/27/06 - 05:22:10 PM
EJH nicked the Turkish Delight line so I'll just say this is very Moorish.
Sounds like you had a great time with this - I quite fancy learning to play
oud but the sad fact is it would probably never ever sound as good as the
software instrument you have here.

Excellent! &mdash 05/01/06 - 01:10:16 AM
Excellent little exercise in odd timing and synth Vic. Not as middle
eastern as I expected (the instruments were very artificial sounding - in
a good way - to me) but excellent playing and quite clever imagination
going on. Overall I really liked this, and am impressed that the
drumming was live. Loved the ending and the production was first
class - you sure get some percussion out of the software on the
melody instruments.

not repedative, nice &mdash 06/26/06 - 05:25:56 PM
this also sounds as though it could be in a movie.
i love all the small melodies, its not like it just continues on and on, it has
segments on melodie afer melodie.
keeps me interested.
good work. [ Reply to This ]
Medevil groove &mdash 06/30/06 - 03:15:43 PM

This a very cool & well thought out composition. [ Reply to This ]

Awesome! &mdash 10/09/06 - 01:24:47 PM
This takes me away to a far off place. Great playing throughout! I really
enjoyed this. [ Reply to This ]
This is unique and full of zest! &mdash 01/16/07 - 03:58:06 PM
