>>> Bokeh's Mutual Aid Programme is now open. <<<

100% OF ALL PROCEEDS GO DIRECT TO THE ARTISTS
To either support them or to donate to aid programmes in their local community. We think ** £5 suggested donation ** is fair - the release is pay-what-you-feel as a gesture to you, the listener, who makes these things possible.

Mutual Aid 2020 was assembled by the Bokeh Allstars during the first 3 weeks of the Great Lockdown, March / April 2020. Many tracks are from Bokeh releases that fell through the net - we can always rebuild from what we have.

Mutual Aid 2020

Principles Unknown

Bacchus P-bass with "new forumula" Sadowsky Blue Label flats, played into a Handbox R-400 amplifier through an Audiokinesis Hathor 1203 bass cabinet (older, one-port version).

Loop played on a TC Ditto Looper.  No effects, no compression, no EQ -- neither in the chain nor post-recording.  Recorded through a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 interface into Garageband.  Mic is an Audio-Technica AT-2035, set ~2.5 feet back from the cab, aimed at the upper part of the woofer cone (a bit below the mid/high driver).  Cab is tilted up a few degrees on a wedge.

You hear:
1. The loop "direct" (Ditto Looper into interface, no amp)
2. The post-EQ signal from the amp (Gain and EQ at noon, Contour and filters off)
3. Mic-ed sound, port open
4. Mic-ed, port plugged

The miced tracks start with gain and EQ on the amp set to noon, with Contour and filters off, and run through the cab's switch settings thus:

1. both switches up
2. top (treble) switch down
3. bottom (mids) switch down
4. both switches down
5. both switches back up, dial in a little bit of bass boost, treble cut, and contour on the amp
6. same amp settings with top switch down
7. same amp settings with both switches down (fade out)

This was all played with the volume and the tone controls on the bass wide open -- in practice I might dial the volume on the bass back a smidge (helps tighten the lows and treble and pocket the sound) and dial the tone control back to taste.  I might add a track with that later.

Notes on Delivery

The Budding enthusiast that comes, by design or chance, to discover this collection shall, upon Preliminary Survey of its Contents, find him or herself confronted by divers  ‘Fulsome Bloomings, Abandoned Airs and Declamations’, all, indeed, allegedly composed by Messrs Drust & Erskine. 

It is, however, to be Anticipated that the fledgeling aesthete may, whilst hopefully being familiar with the general Thrust of this or that Song, find him or herself Uncertain as how best to approach the True Form of the Musical Pieces, and, moreover, how best to discern the Melody and Intonation: indeed, how to Discover, and consequently Interpret, the Leitmotif. 

Be then reassur'd that the Composers are devotees of Cantabile, and each Song in this canon has been thoroughly Mulled Over and Subjected to Rigorous and Demanding attentions. By this Means, Songs, that may, upon Inspection of the grounds upon which they were first Inspired having revealed a requirement for overly-exacting Polytonality or Interval that may Induce a certain Reticence, have subsequently been Hammer'd into a Shape that Messrs Drust and Erskine aver is Deliverable by one Mode or another. 

Accordingly, Messrs D & E press you oil your lung, fill your chest, loosen your tongue, and hold forth in as fulsome a voice as your maker may have designed for you, and relish every nuance of counterpoint, every flourish and every roundelay here afforded for your delectation.
