The Snowbird Returns

My friend Jason did this with me throwing in opinions.
We used a Pocket Operator PO 33 and sampled  "Revolver Jazz" Don Randi Trio.

Featuring... The bass that is hanging on my wall, and the wall is the amp.

This is the second cover I am doing as part of an ongoing project to cover at least one song from every TMBG studio release. This is from their first record.

Crystal Lagoon

The first rap track I have made in a loooooong time. Was very fun!

The drum samples are from my hitting different parts of my acoustic guitar and triggering them with my e-kit.

The bass guitar and electric guitar were recorded with a condenser mic from behind the body. 

I layered some clarinet harmonies.

You Stupid (Demo)

A cover of TMBG's "Am I Awake," written for the TV series Resident Life

Daylight (TMBG Cover | Demo)
