Dropped D tuning guitar based jam with a bendy banjo hook, or indeed a hooky banjo bend as preferred ;-)


Stormcloud Corridor

Ok bear with me - it comes across as a banjo jam David Banner (when not being the hulk), might get up to when hiding out on a rainy afternoon with a few mountain music heads. He's getting his point across about the loneliness of being a man/monster with feelings, when about halfway through the bass player he just met feels inspired by a 60s/wolf mother type vibe and let's it walk around a bit. Maybe he and David meant it like that...maybe he inadvertently made light of David's pain...but the hulk didn't trash the Gaf if the song survived so David may indeed have dug it ;-)

David Banners Banjo Sojourn

It's app vs app with Loopy in the blue corner and an android drum machine app in the red.

Drum machine comes out swinging but thrown off by random timeage and tasty riffing, followed by some git shouting from the other side of the ropes.

The threesome ends in a duo when the other two kick out the uke ;-)


Roland simulator vs ukeleloop

Wafting from the Cafes of Piraeus, Athens came the sound of Rembetika 100 years ago -inspiring a Loopy laid ditty with a vaguely dubstep beat and a banjo (how often are they in the same sentence)....dashed up in the usual rough and ready stylings :-)

Sound of the G.Underworld.

The first Loopy track recorded since getting the Seagull guitar - nice reverb on a dreamy-esque number.

A matter of Fade

Bouncy Hot mess that I kept rerecording with ever decreasing results...so f@ck it here's the original.

Beat sample was pure luck from god knows what I was doing but it's got some rock in its jocks :-)

Simple?Yes!Messy?Yes!ButEffective?Yes!

2nd go at doing something with John Faheys brilliant 'doing somethhing with Jesus is a Dying Bedmaker' which was an old gospel tune, that he developed into the Requiem for the legendary Mississippi John Hurt

It did need anything extra but thought I'd ramp it up for the sake of a facelift - sorry John :-)

Jesus is a Dying Bedmaker /requiem for Mississippi John hurt with a bit o beats

A little ditty done during holidays in Nerano when I couldn't get a maraca'tu beat out of my head, (thanks Sambas!)...although its kinda hard to get a good drum sound out of the back of a ukulele and a tub of sun cream :-) if you listen closely you can just hear the sea in the background! 

Wavegoesin Wavegoesout

Fell across a nice chord sequence an idea to rotate a 4 beat a bit every 4 bars. 4 why nots!

rotating fours

Ascending Descent - Ukulele arpeggios with a smile

A random oddity of tunes put together usually with just acoustic, ukulele, back of said guitar/ukulele, some odd noises and an occasional plastic melodica - using the iPhone App Loopy as recording and mixing device, on whatever room I happen to in at the time.

Its rough, its ready and I typically dont have a clue how to ever play any of them again once recorded, so worth doing regardless of the 'one-take' nature I fink! :-)
