Cleaning out hard drives again.
Found this little gem, covered with obvious mistakes, (which is why it was never really
published) but still interesting if you like weird jazz in odd meters:
http://storage.restivo.org/music/Cronies/suite-2007-11-06.ogg
Linux content is all the keyboards, which are: fluidsynth, two crazy AMS patches, jconv,
jack-rack, etc.
Warning: it's 18 minutes long.
Part of it is in 11/4. There's also a nice windshield wiper moment where 3 bars of 5/4
are overlaid on 2 bars of 5/4.
The end of this epic beast consists of a cover of "Morning Bell" by Radiohead.

Enjoyable stuff, Ken. Love the performance, I'd commit major crimes to
get a drummer that good.
Best,

Haha, yeah, Dan's amazing, for sure.
If you want him, no crimes needed, he's available, you just need to pay him, and his
rates are reasonable:

If you're not in the area, you can FTP him a track and have him track drums over it
for you, and he'll send you WAV files back that you can import into Ardour.
I've been very lucky with drummers, and have been able to work with some outstanding
ones.
Glad you liked. If you want more of that group, I have another thing to post later tonight
too.

Hello Ken!
what a perfectly charming piece of jazz! I like the mix. It's a small combo,
but even that can be fucked up, if you're not careful and if you have enough
real acoustic instruments in the mix. I'm still undecided about the drumkit.
It's so well balanced and tamed, that I'd go for good samples, but the playing
suggests a real drummer on a real drumkit.
I will take that piece to Duesseldorf, next time I'm there, so we will have
a good ambience for the inevitable long evening. It iwll at least get it
started or coloured somewhere in the middle. :-) I really don't know, why you
haven't released it before. Anyway, it's good that you did so now. I did fully
observe the metric niceties yet, but I will take the time to follow it. I'm
especially looking for the "windshield wiper" moment. I'm sorry, aqt this
time
of day, I can't properly follow a long track, for that there is too much
demanding my attention. :-(
Thanks for sharing this lovely piece of very cool jazz!
Rhythmically moved yours

Lovely!
I'm not hearing many mistakes to be honest, I'd rather call such
opportunities challenges to make musical sense of.
Thanks,

Well it took some time to get around to listening to this, but I finally made
it!
I very much enjoyed listening to all 18 minutes. Good jazz is something I
really appreciate, and this is both good and original.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Oh, and I just remembered after thinking about it: most of that was written by the
drummer, who is also quite a skilled composer and producer as well. I think we added a few
small things, improvised around it quite a bit, and of course tacked Radiohead onto the
end of it, but most of that composition was Dan's. I think the first three sections
(the intro riff, the funky/swing section, and whole-tone scale walkup) were peices
he'd written some years before, and I remember when he called me with the idea of the
11/4 section which was added later. The 15/4 section might have been a group composition,
and then Radiohead for the last bit. Memory's hazy on all that though.

Having a great time listening to it. Interesting that "psycho" segment
in the middle, some madness for our ears, and the Rhodes' bending like
a record player running out of battery.
And I also think drummer is really good and a driving force behind.
Good to know where to contact him, just in case.
