a jam session

[dmbguitar718]

an original song. this is a recording of a jam session i had with my friend, on drums. it lags a lot in the beginning, because i was fumbling with gear. still getting used to it.

EP out in a couple months!

would like to have heard more bass drum work from your drummer, he was very boring

you sound good though, vocals are very Yorke-ish

[dmbguitar718]

thanks. i've begun to notice some timbric (can i make that a word?) similarities between yorkes voice and my own. i don't mean to claim that my voice is near his calibur (and it definitely isn't in this recording), but they do sound similar i've noticed.

[Easy E]

well, i dont know if this is the same thing as timbric, but you take a complex melody or percussion and float along it in a near falsetto with long drawn out words, and bam you have 80% of all radiohead songs

[dmbguitar718]

ha, right. but no, timbre is the sonic quality of a sound. ie how a clarinet sounds different than a violin, and a french horn different than a english horn.

I like this a lot, Pat.

What's in your gear closet?

[dmbguitar718]

just a reverb pedal and a looper, really. but my friend had an ebow that i couldn't help but try out. they're cool things.

[SimsUK]

I meant the whole shebang. Mics, pres, etc.

[dmbguitar718]

oh, i have no idea. my friend is the president of the studio here at school, and he's recording my ep. i know we used dp to record it, and a shure for my vox, but beyond that, it was over my head.
