Sierra Blues
Wildgeas Music
Instrumentation Demonstration to try applying the Gunslinger sound to a more bluesy progression.
Bass is a bass, guitar is a guitar. The drums are a digital pad kit connected to an Alesis trigger I/O to make them MIDI capable.
Generally, I cut the tom toms and paste them to a different track so I can apply EQ to them individually. Thanks J.R.R. for that techno bit.
The horns are a MIDI patch. about 4 trumpet tracks and a sax track.
Piano and synth are MIDI as well played via Casio CTK 800.
I added 3 solos along the way starting with the drums(by themselves), then G major harp, followed by a fuzzed guitar as outro.
A quote from Norm…..“MORE DRUM SOLOS!!”
Here’s mine :)
: ) Thanks for checking the sounds and for these, your sounds! Best- kss
really like that guitar part that starts around 2:50
Really nice as that guitar picks up/kicks in @ 2:50
very nice
This is cool. Its like a victory after a gun battle. The solo adds a completely different element to it. Really cool!
Nice stuff! JRR
This is very cool! Drums Sound Great!! And That Harp Sounds Freaking Awesome!!!! Then the guitar just really makes the track feel Superb!
Very cool Pardner! Now where's my horse and six shooters? Never mind- I'd just get thrown off the horse and shoot myself in the foot
Very cinematic and evocative of the great Western Themes.....I do like the harp after the drum solo...midi is pretty convincing .
You certainly know how to give the feel of the wide open spaces Paul. I like the Mex influence and the harmonica especially.
I STILL haven't utilized midi yet. When I do, hope it comes out half as good as this. Norm is an awesome percusionist. I was checking out his work the other day..that's the dude from the blue ridge mountains right?
Nicely done mate very cool. Great keys. Top harp this is a fav. Nice lead mate dig it.
If Clay Allison could play the horn. Oh yeah.
