Playing around, getting used to Mixcraft and the rest of my new kit.  Never recorded anything before and haven't played in years but a lot of fun!

Playing Around

I'm learning to program music using Sonic Pi and thought this would be a suitable tune to start with. This is the intro to the Boss Theme from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 as synthesised using Sonic Pi, I'll post the code on my blog once I've finished the whole song.

Sonic 2 Boss Theme Intro

Messing around with my new setup: 
Yamaha Pacifica, modified with a GK-3 pickup
GR-55 guitar synth
Ibanez shortscale bass
HDP-20 drum machine
RC-505 loopstation

rc505-noodles

Messing around with the riff from If by The Bluetones, or at least how I remember the bassline from a very distant memory...

Variations on If...

Another bassline I love is Stuart and the Avenue by Green Day, recorded in to the RC505 and improvised around it.

Stuart and the Average...

More used to making things than making music...
