A mellow song I used for a submission as an audio artist. I didn’t get it, but it was fun.

Last night our band played a gig at trees cafe. Normally I wouldn’t toot my own horn ( no, considering I play a sax, there was no initial intent for humour, however, the more I make a side comment on the fact that there is no humour, the more humour being to emerge…funny ), however, I was on fire! And I have to give credit where credit was due, my shoes.

I had a previous gig, however I was wearing my “fancy” shoes. The gummy sole stuck to the floor and they sure as hell were uncomfortable. I decided for this gig to screw the foot attire for a nice old pair of shredded up airwalks. When the song started I realized that my feet we slipping on the floor and I was able to slide them all around. I was moving and swaying and it went from there. So I say thank you old pair of shoes…thank you.

What to hear a sample of me? I’m the low sax in this chart called Deed I do, or maybe something a little more slow like Georgia On My Mind. Staring: Aaron “Blue” Morris – guitar, Carly Jepsen – vocals, Greg Lui – tenor sax, Nick Kempinski (”me”) – baritone sax, Georgia Korba - bass, Soegi Hartono – drums.

Funny how people meet. A chance meeting and a chance trip to the brickyard in Vancouver and I had a change to hear this group The Basement Sweets

I’m converting my songs into more of a podcast layout. I’ll probably do this with the rest of my link under “pages” A) because then they are downloaded through anyone subscribing to my podcast and B) becuase I feel like it.

I’m looking through a site called PureVolume and came across Xerarch

I found a small voice clip from fight club. Thought it worked nicely.

I got myself I nice little midi-usb hook-up. And with some nice voices through Garage Band (yet again), I’m liking it.

What more can I say. I got Garage Band and this was the first song out the door.

another take with Band-In-A-Box. Just a little on the slower side

A long time ago I had a program called Band-In-A-Box. It was pretty cool. You took a chord progression and it played the chart for you. It was great for making jazz charts. Too bad I can’t remember the progression for the life of me.
