Description

I came to Paris two weeks ago and brought along a Melodica as an easy travel instrument. After playing swoony Piaf accordion melodies for a few days - I attacked that awful loop and headed in a new direction. Straight to the heart of Dub - Augustus Pablo meets King Tubby style. The walking clav loop is there completely unaltered - all I did was change it to a percussion track and slow it down to 65 bpm. The rest I put together each night after work till I was sick of hearing it on the bus the next morning.
Sit back and relax - Dr. L will be steppin' out the door in no time.

	Rhythm Changed the loop to a percussion instrument! Brilliant. Nice laid back Caribbean sound. This should really put the Dr in a tail spin. Thanks Bill Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Unknowledgeable as I am...
...of all the references made in your description, I nevertheless really enjoyed this number. There's a cool, laid-back quality to it that just kind of infects me as I listen. That loop (not much of a loop guy myself) works well as the underpinning of this whole composition. If I could offer just one small suggestion: pull the solo melodica out front more and let the loop sit back a bit. Of course, mixing on the fly so-to-speak doesn't exactly lend itself to exactitude. I am, though, amazed that you could pull this off so well. (Well, actually, YOU could probably pull just about anything!) I hope one day I, too, can travel with a laptop and actually write something...
Great listen, Bud.
Peace.
Paul

	Always a friend Paul Nice hearing from you. I was thinking the same thing about lifting the Melodica - but I left it low so as not to stir the water too much. Check out my latest song called eye for you (w/particledots and michael2)

Bud, you outdid yourself on this one
Love how you used the loop in the percussion section, The bass line is thick and full and the drums fill in the blanks just fine. The melodica sounds really cool in there carrying the song along.

Very cool piece Bud, thanks for taking time to make sure we got to hear it. it was well worth the effort my friend.

	Paris groove ? Sounds like the atmosphere of the city has somewhat inspired you. Even if Kingston is quite far from here, we were at a time a capital for "word music" (a local trend fostered by Radio Nova). Next time you turn around, let me a message and I'll be glad to share a glass of Bordeaux with you. Great to hear from you again, Bud. Check out my latest song called Funkaboka

	Ah, the veterans alway make a stand and it's a good thing to. Here you are showing your prowess in disguising loops without smothering them. This will encourage others to learn from you example and seek ways to improver their skills. I commend you for you efforts on this one Bud CSP

bud	bud said 419 days ago (September 29th, 2008)
	I used it once before on Drift I think - more for atmosphere than melody. I love the instrument - but it takes a lot of wind and practice to really play well. Check out my latest song called eye for you (w/particledots and michael2)

Paris?
At times I was in Paris, sipping some wine in a sidewalk bistro on a dangerous rainy night when mysterious people, walking by just a little too slowly, caught my eye and then hurried on.

Then I think I was in Jamaica, sipping a cold beer on a blistering hot sunny day under a straw hat as cars chugged past in the street, and someone watched me from the back seat as their car blatted by.... and I'm wishing I was somewhere cooler, rainier, and thinking about Paris.

Dropping the loop into a percussion track was genius. As I mentioned in someone else's comment section, I wish I could think as out-of-the-box as this - I just dress'em up funky and kick'em out the door.

Superb tune. Thanks for the trip!

bud	bud said 419 days ago (September 29th, 2008)
	Thanks Rik I live out of the box - which ain't always easy - especially in the winter - or when it's raining. Love you for keeping the challenge alive and funkin' it up the way you did. Check out my latest song called eye for you (w/particledots and michael2)
