Playing with Paploviante

Paploviante's done it again with Glitter, an intriguing super funky dance track that upon closer listening, plays with dissonance because each instrument is playing in a different key.  It's not that noticeable at first cause rhythmically it all works perfectly, yet when I jumped in to add a Rhodes track over the top, it was clear that Paul and them music is playing with your ear.  So instead of finding a completely different key as Paul so successfully did, I jumped in with one of the synth fills and had a little fun.  What a great track again from Paul, the Swiss music machine who creates and navigates across so many styles so well.  Paul's got a nasty bass line going as always and did such a marvelous job with the tight guitar, synth and electro backbeats.  I've had the pleasure of jumping into about 20 of Paul's great tracks and send a big thanks over to the Alps for his continuing creations for others to jump on.  Check out and follow his deep portfolio of work here on Soundcloud while you are tapping your feet to Glitter:

Glitter - Paul Racle / Jamie Rhind

When Zurich's Paul Racle says GO GO ..... I Go Go right to my Hammond B3 sound to collaborate.  Paul threw this Stevie Ray Vaughn type track up for people to join in, allowing me the great pleasure to jump in once again.  Got that great Jimmy McGriff organ sound going on the keys for this.  Great blues track Paul  - sweet playing on everything!  

Check out Paul's three SoundCloud galleries.  They are some of the most inclusive and diverse musically on SC:

GO GO - with Paploviante / Paul Racle

Paul Racle has done it again with another beautiful collaboration piece for others to join in.  This one is a real smooth and pretty jazzy groove, with some sweet rhythm guitar and bass, congas and percussion, reminding me of the soul classic What's Going On.  One of those all time grooves.  So I jumped in on it with a flute patch - everything else is Paul's.  He's on the guitar, the bass, the drums and has created and produced the tune. We sure hope you enjoy it.

Paul's so important here on SoundCloud, always creating music for other musicians to join, sharing music, and producing some sweet instrumental and vocal tunes with friends around the world.  
He's a big inspiration to so many who don't have the opportunity or ability to create tracks, and to musicians like me who just want to jump in to enjoy his fine creations.  And Paul also has an extensive collection of tunes across a wide genre of music that he has done himself:  https://soundcloud.com/paul-racle

My Day - with Paul Racle (Paploviante)

Had to jump in with the great groove that Swiss bassist and composer Paul Racle  created.  Check out his fine time, tone and groove.  A serious understanding of the bass.   Paul is always knocking it out of the park with something fresh.  And another great invite from Paul:)

Paul https://soundcloud.com/paul-racle  is from Zurich, and so I have chosen a photo of the incredible Eiger, in the Swiss Alps for your viewing pleasure.  Nothing like it.

Jam with Paploviante - with Paul Racle / bass

Switzerland's Paul Racle - Paploviante to so many here - has done it once again, creating a beautiful Baroque collaboration for others to jump into.  When I heard his gorgeous Cathedral, it immediately hit home for me, having grown up with Baroque music, and the huge organ sounds and pieces of Bach and Handel.  Together we've created a piece of inspiration, that starts with the important Baroque chord changes and with Paul's creativity, adds layers of synthesizer and 21st Century sensibility.  I have named this St Paul's Cathedral to honor both Paul Racle and also the world famous cathedral in London, which is shown on the album cover.

St. Paul's Cathedral - with Paploviante

Had to jump in again the Zurich's master producer and bass player Paul Racle, who created this grooving  track for collaboration. Check out his bad ass bass line.  I've added a bari sax and trombone lines, a rhodes and Hammond organ.  The middle of it really reminds me of the classic sound the Crusaders had in the '70s.   We hope you enjoy it.

C'est la Vie - with Paul Racle - bass, guitar

Zurich's wonderful Paul Racle and I are back again with Paul's recent Ghetto, a grooving funk tune.  Paul's always creating great music, and so often opening it up for others to jump in.  When I heard this funky composition and deep bass lines I knew it was right, and so have jumped to create Ghetto Blaster.  Paul goes by Paploviante here on SC, and he's such a fine bass player, drummer, producer and listener.  A treat to be back here with Paul, and we hope you enjoy what we've done.

Ghetto Blaster - with Paploviante (Paul Racle)

When I heard Paul Racle's recent Drops collaboration I knew I wanted to jump in.  To this beautiful orchestral piece I have added two synth lines - a heavy reverb lead sound and a marimba.  Everything else is Paul's great work.  Paul is a very fine electric bass player, creator and producer,  and one of the leaders of SoundCloud's collaboration effort.  I've jumped in on about 5 of these sweet pieces, and hope you enjoy this one too.

Cool Times - Paploviante - with Jamie Rhind / keyboards

How cool of Zurich producer Paul Racle to be making music for everyone else.  You've gotta love the attention Paul throws into Shell Game, from his signature funk bass sound to the crisp funky drumming.  Sounded to me like it only needed a synth line -
Follow Paul's extensive collection of original recordings and collabs: https://soundcloud.com/paul-racle .   This is our ninth tune together - thanks to Paul's outpouring of original music.  We hope you love it:)https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/playing-with-paploviante

Shell Game - with Paul Racle / everything but the synth solo

So often Paploviante lays down something that touches me, and I had to jump into this super funky track Paul created.  Paul's a big time bass player from Zurich, and produces a ton of original music, including so many tracks for others, as this is.  Check out his slap bass technique here and the tight wah groove that accompanies this funked up gem.  Follow his wonderful music:

OHM - with Paul Racle

Here's our take on one of Steppenwolf's classic hits, Born to Be Wild.  Always a favorite of mine, the formidable duo of Tom Adams and Paul Racle bring energy and great chops to this recording.  Tom's such a fine guitarist, and his blues rock feel brings us back to 1969.  And Paul's grooving and driving bass anchors and propels it all.  Everyone know's Paul here on SoundCloud by Paploviante, not only for his bass playing but for his creative energy, and music production across so many styles.

Fireplace - with Paul Racle

Back with Zurich's finest bass player and producer Paul Racle, having jumped on a recent collab he posted called Phoenix.  Paploviante is a deep musician, and lays down a heavy funky groove and percussion here that was asking for even a little more fun(k).  Paul creates across so many musical genres and I love when he gets down and dirty, as in this heavy grooving.  Beautiful slap bass technique and sound!

So much fun here with Stephan Lipinski and Paul Racle as we blow through some Alpine Grooving.  Our blues original set's Paul's fine bass line down, with Pinner knowing just what to do.  Paul is one of the most creative and inspiring voices here, producing so much fine music that bends genres and nails them too.  We all owe him a big thanks for vast collection of music he has recorded to inspire others to join and create.  Sweet bass grooving from him here!  
Stephan is a hired gun too, and we've done over 50 tunes together so far, yet have not met:). But we will and that will be an important party!  Can't wait to do the same in Zurich, Paul.  You know that:)))

Paploviante turns into a heavy funkmaster here with his Strong Together collab.  Had to join him again on this great one.  Paul Racle's such a fine bassist, Musican and producer, and that deep sense of rhythm nails this.  But Paul is doing everything - except for a couple synth lines on the left side.

Strong Together - Paul Racle / Jamie Rhind

Once again Zurich's Paul Racle has created a super funky track and offered it up for collaboration.  I jumped on it, adding some synth work with chords and solos, and latin percussion.  But it's Paul's creation, which features so many sides of his abilities.  I'll start with this ability to create and share with and for others, as he has been doing this for years on SoundCloud, across so many different genres.  I've jumped in on almost 20 of these and it's always a blast because the tracks are so well done.  Paul (Paploviante here on SC) is a multi talented musician, including a very strong bass player, guitarist, drummer and writer.  Check out and follow his SC music:
