This jam took place at our friend Tony’s house during the 2nd BiedenQue of the summer. Jeffrey Socha kicks off this funky jam off on the drums with the organ chopping through it while Matthew Hundley rips it up on the guitar. Joe feels the jam and fits his vocal style nicely with it..

The last couple of weeks, I’ve been playing around with my iPhone and with some of the applications available through the Apple store. There are quite a few music instrument applications available and, although most of them are quite terrible, some are actually pretty versatile so I wanted to put together some songs using them. Cattail Walk was initially composed using an iPhone app called Euphonics with layering provided by Jeremy using full sized keyboard synths and some effects provided through Garageband.

This one is great. We decided to record Neil singing and playing guitar to his favorite cover song he likes to play. It turned out to be amazing. Neil’s voice covers this classic song very well and the Hammond organ fits nicely in the background. Enjoy!

During our last patio session, Neil disappeared for a couple of minutes while Jeremy and I were playing around with some sounds. He returned with an assortment of various oddities from his nearby shed. He then set these items out in a drum kit-like pattern around him and proceeded to play the collection of flowerpots, lawn chairs and tables. I picked up a large plastic flowerpot and began to play it as I would with a Djembe, integrating snaps and claps throughout. Jeremy carried us through this random assortment of percussion with a melody from the keys.
In post-production, I decided we needed to do something a little different with this one. Rather than just have a relatively clean track, I decided to layer various effects on there to make it sound strangely organic. Jeremy’s keys sound a bit like a guitar with a wah pedal. The percussion mutates in crazy ways throughout the track. It’s really fun to listen to.
