Man I love this groove such a smooth groove. Slap da bass man. 

A basic progression with a few reharmonizations brought to you by a loose translation of Bela Bartok's axis system.  The solo was completely written out, so nothing was improvised.  I used triad pairing with some chromatic approaches, and also used another loose translation of a Bela Bartok concept, polymodal chromaticism, on a few measures.  I play a Steve McDonald VD3404 bass guitar, check out Steve's basses!!!  The drum track was from a Teenage Engineering PO-12 Rhythm.  Everything was recorded and mixed on a Zoom H4N Pro, then I used Audacity (free) to trim off the beginning and end, add fade-in and fade-out, and added a little compression.

I recently recieved a Zoom H4N Pro as a gift, it has inspired me to start recording again, because I can have it set up and ready to record in less than five minutes.  I also recently had a bass built for me by luthier Steve McDonald, that has motivated me to start writing and recording again, too.  And the Teenage Engineering PO-12 Rhythm, that I also just recently got, is a great tool for creating drum tracks.  I have a portable, easy-to-set-up studio, a great bass, and a super-fun drum machine, so I have no excuse not to keep the tunes rolling out.  I hope you enjoy the tunes.
