Funky Wednesday

My Wednesday day off – this is a little funky idea I’m playing it. It might turn into a song if my singer Chris gets inspired by it!

Improvsed looping on the Prophet 12

JamieB from PF enjoying doing some improvised looping on the Prophet 12. Starting to get a sweet range of sounds from it. All my own patches now. Using a TC Electronics looper pedal.

Fire Engine Open Mic Night Bristol

Great time last night at Fire Engine Open Mic in St Georges. James tried an all synth sound on the Nord Wave with no piano – sounded immense and they loved it.

Rob Davies and his cool dad run the night – this is what he said – “Thanks for a great performance guys, I really enjoyed the songs. It really made the evening. Cheers”

Under The Stars Open Mic Night

That was fun – went down to an open mic night at Under The Stars – a boat opposite the Watershed. Chris came along but he sat and chilled while Jamie did two electro-covers on the Minimoog. Crockets Theme & Dr Who – went down a storm – I think they’ll have us back. Really nice musicians all hanging out and jamming.

Ditto Looper

Here’s a little game I was playing yesterday. Mess up the controls on a synth then try to improvise a tune while programming sounds into a looper.
