I definitely need better horn sounds. NEED, I say!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that my office-mate&#8217;s son plays saxophone, and I invited them over for a recording session, and they accepted. I am looking forward to that very much and have no doubt that it will help bring this piece to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back to the piece. I am satisfied with the all the rhythm instruments at this point. I may redo the piano because of problems keeping time in some places. Very happy with the guitars. The guitar on the left is very much like a James Brown rhythm guitar line you might hear in the left channel. The pattern repeats over and over, very faithfully, as do all or most of&nbsp;the parts in a James Brown composition. I actually played beginning to end though, and did not loop any of my playing, though there was editing to select material between different takes. I am super happy with the wah-wah guitar in the right channel. Exactly the sound I was going for. Actually it reminds me a bit of John McLaughlin&#8217;s sound on Miles&#8217; Jack Johnson album. Just the sound &#8211; not the playing, duh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I worked very hard on the horn arrangements, but I am definitely still building my chops in this area. I really need a good collection of horn virtual instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The structure is by no means final. I haven&#8217;t decided what it will look like. I also feel guilty for not even having the hint of a &#8220;B&#8221; section. If I don&#8217;t give the piece more variety, it will be very difficult to hold the listener&#8217;s attention from beginning to end. But I remind myself that this started out as an exercise, and I am going to try to stay focused on the creation and not worry about the result. Yeah. Wish me luck with that. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot of work went into this version from the last one posted. I definitely need better horn sounds. NEED, I say!
