folderNOTES: Okay it’s been a while and now we’re trying out some socially distant remote sequential ‘jammin’ where we each take turns in laying something down for each of us to overdub our first impressions – one take each. The first track was seeded by Tim on the synth, followed by Dino on guitar and then Laurie on percussion … Hope you enjoy, we’ll keep adding more as they come …

folderNOTES: First jam for 2020, and the first time as a quartet with Greg since June! The guys asked me not to include the first track (it’s long and searching and wiggy – we were really just warming up – took us half an hour – I actually think there are some diamonds in the rough). The remaining four tracks are pretty steady and connected and give us a chance to explore some of our new toys!

TRACKS:

  1. [25:21] (untitled)
    DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS 😉
  2. [12:14] Doing Something Different
  3. [02:31] Journey to the Centre of the Earth
  4. [18:14] eeee
  5. [20:19] unfitbit

MUSICIANS:

  • Dino Cveolatti – electric guitar
  • Tim Watson – keyboard & clarinet
  • Laurie Vigor – percussion
  • Greg Waddel – electric bass & curtain rod
