I went to a couple Thursday night blues jams in a bar attached to a Chinese restaurant. Fun to get up and play some drums (on a decent house kit) with various people. Do some shufflin, some rocking, hold down those 12 bars. Blues and bluesy rock are not something I listen to often, but a good genre as a jumping off point for open jams in bars. I made a living for about year as drummer in blues band in my early 20's actually, but that's a story for another day. So down at the jam, we get some blues dancers moving around on the tiny dance floor, a good little friendly scene I'll probably go back to get a little live playing fix.

So that little tidbit relates to this week's song in a way. This week's song samples the public domain song St. Louis Blues by TED LEWIS and HIS BAND (https://archive.org/details/78_st-louis-blues_ted-lewis-and-his-band-handy_gbia0268157b?utm_source=DisquietJunto&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=disquiet-junto-project-0660-louis-blues-st). I started playing with this for the Disquiet Junto (https://disquiet.com/0659/?utm_source=DisquietJunto&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=disquiet-junto-project-0660-louis-blues-st) project last week, which I didn't finish. The prompt was to: "Break a public domain song into parts and reorganize them." After hearing so much blues lately I had been thinking about doing something like that. After some false starts trying to execute on my first plans, I finally decided I needed to get up a boogie, so I followed the muse and this is what came out. Took a break from making this to do some chores and words popped in my head so said them into the phone. Played with Ableton 12.1's new Auto Shift auto tune device to edit that voice recording, I'm liking it. I wonder what the Thursday night blues dancer's  would think about this track?

Back in the Day (Public Blues) - [Weekly Beats 2024, Song 35]

A bass track over @half-unusual 's groove.
I played electric bass guitar (maple fender jazz bass with a pick and mute and a crunchy amp) with an overdrive pedal and a “skidder” effect tweaked in real time.

The all-synth background is great. I thought the contrast between those synth tracks and a warm, acoustic tone could be interesting, so I improvised a lead part on tenor ukulele. I also added an infra bass drone playing the tonic, and used a little software I’m beta testing that generates sound from a text prompt using some kind of AI (can’t say more here, but it’s fun for drones!).
It's like a dark, abstract recitativo, hope you like it.
