Description
My friends Ron and Jim came over a couple weeks ago and I recorded our jam with our H2. We had quite a few gems, but I was quite surprised with this one.

It reminds me of the those airplane trips where you are flying right over the top of the big pillowy clouds and you lose all sense of perspective, distance and speed. I love flying just because I look forward to flying over the tops of the clouds, thus the name of the song.

This was just recorded in 4 channel stereo on my Zoom H2. I did have to subtract some bass, but otherwise, how it sounds is how it went into the mic.

Players:
Jim P. - PRS Mcarty Archtop, Roland Cube Amp
Ron C. - Takamine Acoustic
Brian (E-F) - Home-made Electric Bass, Peavy Microbass Amp

I was heading up to bed...
...and I saw that you had posted this. I had to give it a listen. I really enjoy these H2 jams of yours, and they have dedicated playlist in my iPod...

This is the kind of music that I would flat out love to make.

You guys sound really in tune, really listening. And the H2 seems to translate into very three dimensional headphone mixes...

thanks ed
thanks, i'm flattered the h2 jams are on your ipod. I know i'm glad to have stumbled upon such good musicians to jam with here in billings, and I don't take it for granted. The H2 is now at every jam and I try to at least pull one song from them when I have time.

floating the river...
that's a good analogy too. I did have a feeling this one was going to be going up on MJ's when were jamming.

I think you should get one. If you do, send me a note and i'll message you back my settings so you can get all that hi-fidelity stereo in your mix.

Strato Jam
Nice jam feel. Atmosphere is there a plenty. Reverb is hanging in all the correct places. Whoever is driving does a far job of keeping things moving harmonically...
Like most of your stuff, this makes me want to play...

Thanks!
Yeah, I don't know how this one came about, we just seemed to have been playing it and then were finished. I would assume it was a chord progression from Jim that started it. From there who knows.

Electric Hedges
Sounds a bit like Michael Hedges, on electric... crystal-clear recording and nice space, you don't strato the fence, I'm cirrus-ly impressed! :-) The shimmery tremolo on the guitar is on the verge of too "wobbly" for me, but in a way, adds to the ethereal nature of this. Nice jam!
ttfn,
Drakonis

Ha!
I didn't even realize when I named this song that "Strato" could also stand for "Strato-Caster". Thanks very much for the listen.

I got so lost
in the clouds that I never pushed the Post Comment button. I think I wrote that the three of you must all have been on cloud nine because this was perfectly heavenly.
Would work with a vocal in a shorter version, too. Wow! Thanks.

nice to see new listeners dropping in. Cirrus and Cumulonimbus don't have the name of a guitar within their name, so......
