Where the Streets Have No Name

Blue Notes

This homerecorded track is probably the most groovy one of them all... listeners will discover great original licks in this piece of experimental/prototypical freeflow music and know that this is a unique composition made without preparation, is non-reproducable and made with amateur equipment. 

I am very proud of the bassline, because the build-up leads to some very satisfying flourishes and new deeply grooving licks, devised in the heat of the moment; revisited as we eplore the recordings from the last ten years. 

This piece is as solid as it gets and I challange every bassplayer worth his salt to practice some of the cool licks in the second half and record them. That would be pretty impressive to pull off. I'd love to hear people try that... I sure can't do it.. I can only do it perfectly the first time, but I do that without remembering what I've played. 

It might seem like one big bass solo, but the paterns steadily expand, allowing more room for the climax to develope, which is when the listener's attention normally peaks and the complexity matches the pattern laid in advance by the groovy build up; after which the intensity has to come down again; ending in a neat little wrap up.

Blue Note Magnum Opus - Legacy 2025

This powerfull cut from our classic favorite Blue Note Magnum Opus. I made this cut to be heard by potential patrons who might wish to purchase the rights to this entire project and will currate the music in an accesible, and profitable way with the resources needed to gain a huge fanbase, based on novelty in virtuosity and constantly trying to do perform better than the last time making more impressive soundflupsels for extra bonus points and a referal from the big boss himself.

The Blue Story you were never told

I am music producer,
I compose various kind of music, and I am registered at the SACEM society.

Trijazz like to compose and play house and electronica music, with an acoustic and jazzy touch. Melody lines are usually improvised in one recording on the Yamaha stage piano first. In addition I like to play my active pickups modified Fender precision bass in the recordings. 
I do the MIDI composition, sound engineering and mixing in Pro-Tools myself. 

Trijazz recorded, composed, mixed and produced the song "I Am Loving You". This song was released in june 2014 on housecharts.net. This song is currently charted under this site Soulful House genre. 15. may 2014 Trijazz releases his first EP: Supreme. Supreme contains 5 tracks, and can be downloaded at Beatport, Amazon or some other sites.

About the five awesome teasers in the spotlight; these are just short examples of the musical prowess that lays at the foundation of our whole collection of over 200 original improvised tracks. It's just under five minutes of what we call in the Netherlands: "Ff lekker stoer doen op de basgitaar!"

Much love for all the new fans, you are all very much appreciated! 
Please keep reposting our tracks, this helps us out a lot!
Tell your friends about this weird but exiting music you've encountered and how it revolutionizes musical creation in it's core fundamentals... Or just enjoy the music. Take care!

*Introduction:*

We are Ludo Loco, an Experimental Independent Improvisation Ensemble from Leiden, the Netherlands. 
We are an ensemble with Jeroen Keereweer on the keyboard and Robert Veltema on the bass guitar.
Ludo means, in Latin: to Play/Mock/Tease/Trick and Loco just means: Crazy, Mad or Insane, in Spanish. When you listen to our music you'll understand why that is our band's name. '

*The Ludo Loco Way of Making music:*

Hi, I'm Robert from Ludo Loco and I would like to tell you about the Ludo Loco methods of how we make our music and why the end result is always unique and original. 
All of our songs, already over 200 tracks, have only ever been played once and  this is always recorded on a computer. We are not capable of any reproduction of our tracks. In fact, in my case after I finish playing the bass part, I usually have no idea what I have just played and I have listen to the recording to realize if it was any good, authentic, original, but above all, doesn't contain any ugly errors that would ruin the whole track.

We usually need two takes, because there's only two of us and we usually want: bass, keys, drums (keyboard drumming) and sometimes an electric guitar. So the second take is usually the keys, if the bass and drums were laid down first. Sometimes we record piano and bass simultaneously, which often results in very sensitively played music with a lot of emotion poured in it from our inner muses.
 
We have the skills to create music in the heat of the moment, without it being erratic, random or filled with errors. It has to be great on the first try. Though we do have nights were we really suck, but those tracks we just discard and we move on.

I honestly haven't heard any other ensembles or bands that come close to our unique Ludo Loco Sound, or that match our Playing Style.
So, everything is improvised and because we've played together so much in our lives, we respond very well and immediate to each other, as the song evolves and grooves into different intensities, building up, playing variations, climaxing, bringing it down eventually with a proper ending. 

I think that if people know their instrument very well and have become bored with playing fixed songs and don't like rehearsing the same tracks over and over (like I was), they could learn how to cast off these chains of regular, written music, and develop the skill of playing by feeling only, while still being able to implement a song structure while you record it. I say people who know their instrument very well, because you need the muscle memory to help you guide your improvised track.

At least for me, this way of creating spontaneous, authentic, original music, is way more fun than practicing with a band and getting it all perfectly memorized. 
I use that space in my brain; from not memorizing anything; for allowing me to play with a lot of feeling and be creative, but also critical of how I sound, whether it is nice to listen to, whether I'm playing something totally new. Just monitoring myself and directing the creative process mentally into the next phrase of a song. I love when I make it sound cool and groovy, so that's what I usually prime my head for and for the rest it's just about having great fun with playing my part. 

In all, I have yet to hear anything anywhere that compares to our music style. I would love to know about others who make music this way. When you talk about improvising, people automatically think of Jazz, but with Jazz you have to know the standards and you're kind of only allowed to improvise over a standard from the real book. Jazz is kind of weird like that. 

We use freedom of expression to the max and I feel like we are doing something good, but also very rare... It's definitely not mainstream music, but as a niche, there's still many people who will enjoy our music and if we can find a way to reach these people, then we will be enriching their lives with something that I feel is very special.
