Kitarrid (ja flööt) / Guitars (and flute)

Neljapäeval hakkasin kitarriluupe tegema. Reede pärastlõunaks olid valmis nii elektrika kui ka akustikaluubid. 12-keelsed kitarrid on väljakutse, tavapärane rütmikitarr tuleb kenasti välja, aga arpedžeerimine on keerukam, ikka tahaks medikaga pihta saada mõlemale keelele keelepaarist. Eriti just akustilisel nõuavad topeltkeeled sõrmedelt rohkem survet keeltele. Nii, et endiselt tuleb 12-keelsega ära harjuda.

Thursday I commenced the guitar loops. By Friday afternoon I had both electric and acoustic 12-string loops done. 12-string guitars remain a challenge, apart from the usual strumming which is nice. It is particularly arpeggiating that's more complicated, as I would prefer to hit both strings of any particular pair with a plectrum. Particularly on the acoustic the double strings demand more finger pressure. So I still need to get used to playing the 12-strings.

Cutting this weird and wonderful guitar loop. I think it turned out real good #danelectro #OwnTheTone #twelvestring #12stringguitar #prophet08 #recordingsession #musiciansofinstagram

Aga siin videos mängin sisse ühe rütmikitarripartii Danelectrol ja olen äärmiselt rahul, kui hästi see välja tuli. Üks tuttav kommenteeris, et eriti rets saund ja tuleb nõustuda!

But here I play the rhythm guitar loop on Danelectro and I'm extremely pleased how it turned out. An acquaintance commented that it had a wicked sound to it and I have to agree!

Siin aga on töös üks instrumentaalpala, kus alguses kuuleb elektrilist luupi, mille peale mängin akustilisega arpedžosid. Elektrilise ostinato kirjutasin alguses klaveril, aga asi töötab ka Danelectro kitarril väga kenasti, võimalik, et kasutan põim-tekstuuri.

Here, however, is an instrumental work in progress. First there's an electric loop, on top of which I play the acoustic arpeggios. I wrote the electric ostinato on the piano actually, but the thing works so well on Danelectro, so I'll possibly aim for a composite texture when putting the track together.

Did a flute session for one instrumental tracks today at noon. #flute #recordingsession #musiciansofinstagram #microphone

Täna aga seadsin üles mikri Kaoss Padi ja lindistasin flöödipartii ühe teise instrumentaali jaoks. Tegelikult olen tänaseks ka mõned bassklarnetiluubid teinud, aga pill on häälest ära, nii et tuleb vaadata, kuidas seda probleemi lahendada ja siis need asjad uuesti teha.

Today I set up a microphone, fed into Korg Kaoss Pad and I cut the flute part for another instrumental piece. I've also cut some bass clarinet loops, but the instrument is a bit out of tune so I'll need to sort out the issue somehow before moving on and redoing some of the parts.
