I can't even comprehend this on any level. Right over my head.

Rachel is playing all the parts here including the flute - that's real flute not a synth, by the way. Distortion was added using the Cakewalk effects.

Here's a wild Mahavishnu tune I covered in one day!

I memorized most of the solos, too. This is very close to the record!

All of the guitar parts were played on the Marble Head using the Vox
amp with the Lewitt mic. Then for the drums and violin tracks, I
played on the Yanaha m06. I also used one of the clavinets off of the Korg SV-1, and the Rhodes from the Nord 2 HA-88. I played on the fretted bass using the bass pod, and the synth parts were done on the Little Phatty. The gongs were from the Garritan Instant Orchestra "Earth Metal Percussion."

I put a whole bunch of wild effects on some of the instruments. For
another instance of the gong track, I added a flange effect. (I first
put a mono preset in both tracks.) Then for the synth solo, and violin
tracks, I added a distortion effect off of the Cakewalk Ampsim (I
think I used "British Crunch" on the synth solo, and "Fuzz 1" for the
violin tracks.)

Anyway, I had a lot of fun doing this one.

Birds Of Fire - Mahavishnu Orchestra (cover)

I had fun covering this song. To commemerate the anniversary of the Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper, I thought it would be great for me to share this cover with you!
The orchestral tracks were played using the Garritan Instant Orchestra library. The guitar part was played on one of my electric guitars using an acoustic amp setting on the Vox miced with the Lewitt microphone. The bass was my fretted jazz bass played through the Line 6 bass pod. The main piano was the Nord Velvet Grand, and the final chord was a combination of Garritan CFX, Synthogy Ivory Tack Upright and Nord Honkytonk (tack also) Upright. The drums are VSL Jazz Drums. I don't remember if the vocals were done on the Lewitt, or what shaker I used.
I hope you enjoy it.

A Day In The Life - The Beatles (cover)

Trilogy was one of the first songs by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer that I ever heard. The sound of the Moog really grabbed my attention, and I am very happy to cover this song now in honor of Keith and Greg.

The piano was played on the Amber Upright from Nord, on the Nord Piano 2 HA88. The lead synthesizers were played on the Moog Little Phatty. The organ was played on the Nord Electro 4D. The synth strings in the intro and synth horns were played on the Yamaha M06. The bass was played on a fretted Fender Jazz bass copy that has been modified for me. The drums were Session Drummer 3, Andy Johns Kit. The suspended cymbal rolls were from the Vienna Symphonic Library Percussion Collection. I did all the vocals using a Lewitt handheld condenser microphone.

The Black Page #1 by Frank Zappa, cover by Rachel Flowers

Frank was always hearing the studio musicians in LA talking about the fear of going into sessions some morning and being faced with "the black page."  So he decided to write his "Black Page."

The drums were from Session Drummer plus some percussion. More percussion was from Garitan Jazz and Big Band, along with the horns. The marimba was from the Nord Electro 4D. The xylophone, violin, fretless bass, and synth were all on the Yamaha M06.

Momentum

From the Emerson, Lake, and Palmer album Works Volume 1, Pirates is one of my favorite pieces that combines orchestra, band, and vocals.

I hope you like my version of this great song!
