Big Brooklyn Red,  Decide - With a Twist - Nebottoben

Ephemerals are a London based soul team featuring an allstar cast of musicians, founded and lead by producer Hillman Mondegreen (formerly of Hannah Wailliams & the Tastemakers). They are fronted by NYC-born singer Wolfgang Valbrun. Within only a couple of days, they recorded a stunning selection of songs to analogue tape that many critics dubbed as 'the best contemporary soul production' this side of the atlantic. The A-side 'Call It What You Want' is built around Valbrun's sincere vocals and a sinister soul groove that sounds like a lost Wu-Tang sample, the flip side "The Oligarch" showcases the band, letting loose on an organ- and horn-driven instrumental.

Includes excerpts from "The Bicentennial Blues", a track which I was none too fond of as a relative youngster, as it seemed to me then that The Blues was something older people invoked whenever they wanted to make you feel like you didn't know anything. I was also irritated by the very specific and (and to my very young self) seemingly meaningless political references in this track. For me back then, it was all about "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", "Home Is Where The Hatred Is", "The Bottle" or "It's Your World".  

Well, time passes and I went on to become a huge GSH fan, so much so I would probably have been happy to sit and listen to him reading from the phone book, let alone recite the Bicentennial Blues, and what seemed to me almost passé then has proven to be remarkably prescient today: the names have changed, the culprits haven't. 

Let's hope that he achieves the artistic and cultural position he really deserves, and soon.  People like Gil don't come along very often, he will be sorely missed.

This is my rendition of 'Live Your Life', a song by Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna from 2012. It's the first single from her self-titled album, produced by Pharrell Williams. Yuna's message here is heartwarming, so I kept the arrangement quite simple to let the lyrics stand out. Let me know what you think!

I've recorded this track live in one take, with my looping pedal Boss RC-300. For the vocal effects I use TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2.

Used gear:
Boss RC-300 (loopstation)
TC Helicon VoiceLive 2 (vocal effects)
Roland FP4 (midi controller)
Apple MainStage 2 (midi sounds & mix)
Ibanez Jazz Bass
