Jam Session in the Garage
 ot
a real garage, but Apple's 'GarageBand' program. This is an inexpensive way
for people to get into the computer generation of music, rather than struggling
with complex (and expensive) programs such as Logic or Cubase. I made a music
file as an experiment: it's a none-too-serious fast blues as played by a big
band, using instrumental sounds in the computer which I played using an external
keyboard (see the picture), together with a few of the large collection of
looped musical phrases included with the program, which can be used to make up
musical sections - in this case the drums and the brass section backing. I don't
claim it's a masterpiece - particularly the sax (Coleman Hawkins it isn't) - but
it's an interesting demonstration of what can be done with a relatively cheap
program.The piece is called 'Rich Buddy Blues' as a tribute to bandleader and master drummer Buddy Rich: click here to listen to it. Click here to see a large version of the photo . Posted: Tue - August 29, 2006 at 09:38 AM by Roger Wilmut |
