The newest one is a piano track. Jeff dropped by with his piano and left it at my house so I have been playing with it since it is much more powerful than my old one it has been very entertaining. I will probably be playing with that more than my guitar till it goes away. </p><p>The second track is from a Jam session before Robbie went up to Chico and Ricky who is extremely talented. This is probably my favorite song I have ever contributed too. I really enjoyed the whole session but this one for me really stuck out. Hope you enjoy it.<br /> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00c225205790f21900e398d78d040004" at:format="medium" at:align="left" class="enclosure enclosure-left enclosure-medium audio-enclosure" style="text-align: center; float: left;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item audio-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://trimpton.vox.com/library/audio/6a00c225205790f21900e398d78d040004.html"><img src="http://a4.vox.com/6a00c225205790f21900e398d78d040004-200pi" alt="Jam Session No 3" title="Jam Session No 3" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://trimpton.vox.com/library/audio/6a00c225205790f21900e398d78d040004.html" title="Jam Session No 3">Jam Session No 3</a></div> <div class="enclosure-asset-subtitle overflow-hidden">Ricky, Robbie, Christian</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> There have been a few other tracks that I have put together and felt were decent enough to upload as well which first is an experiment with alternate tuning which has become a hobby. I find just switching up the tuning and playing until something coherent comes out is an incredible amount of fun. So here is my experiment with that. <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00c225205790f21900e398d797080003" at:format="small" at:align="right" class="enclosure enclosure-right enclosure-small audio-enclosure" style="text-align: center; float: right;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item audio-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://trimpton.vox.com/library/audio/6a00c225205790f21900e398d797080003.html"><img src="http://a0.vox.com/6a00c225205790f21900e398d797080003-120pi" alt="Altrun2" title="Altrun2" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://trimpton.vox.com/library/audio/6a00c225205790f21900e398d797080003.html" title="Altrun2">Altrun2</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <div><br />I did a few others but this one was particularly interesting to me. <br /><br />What I have noticed about my work is that I tend to crowd everything together and the sound either gets overwhelming or muddy. There are definitely times where it works out but I think I should practice the other end of spectrum and attempt a minimalist style. That way I know I can do both and not limit myself to continue playing one style. In other words its time to break the cycle.<br /></div></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://trimpton.vox.com/library/post/a-collection-of-recordings-from-november-07-to-late-january-08.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c225205790f21900e398d7972d0003?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> music piano noise mp3 guitar jam recording experiment home recording jam session
