NRH - Enjoy The Light

Post-midnight rhodes (Nord EP7 Tines Amped) + voice (Shure KSM32 without popshield) test on how to best record an "intimate" atmosphere. I breathe and chuckle too much, granted.

The song is dedicated to an inspiring person dear to me. Might become an NRH song as I seem to have convinced my guitarist...

Whatever I See In Her

Rough demo, multitracked in my home. (roland rd300sx, nord electro 3, zoom H2, audacity). Had some fun with the heavily overdriven Fender Rhodes sound at the end...

Blue lady

Rough demo, multitracked at home (Roland RD300sx, Nord Electro 3, Zoom H2, audacity). Inspired initially by some Miles Davies harmonies, but the result is quite remote from that source !

Fearless

Live take at Goldfingers Studio in Brussels with my band "the Nashville Rat Hunters". Unfortunately, I'm singing on this one. But my keyboard playing is hopefully a little better than the vocals... (Guitar : Andreas Preising, Bass : James Benn, Drums : Burak Cakar)

Travelling Alone

Some crude fun with my new setup (got bored of audacity, and went for Apple's Logic). Logic for the drum loops and FX's (except some reverb and compression from the TC Studio 48), the bass and piano come from the Roland RD300sx and the EP from the Electro 3. Feeling like a kid again !

Just a funky bit

Well, obviously work in progress, I'll have words for that too. I'm in need of some cheesy romance ! (usual suspects : RD300sx, Electro 3, StudioConnekt, Logic).
