I think we added a few small things, improvised around it quite a bit, and of course tacked Radiohead onto the end of it, but most of that composition was Dan's. I think the first three sections (the intro riff, the funky/swing section, and whole-tone scale walkup) were peices he'd written some years before, and I remember when he called me with the idea of the 11/4 section which was added later. The 15/4 section might have been a group composition, and then Radiohead for the last bit. Memory's hazy on all that though. > > -ken > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user For me this could be side by side with other Jazz artists on shops, and, things of life, here we have it in this corner of the internet. Having a great time listening to it. Interesting that "psycho" segment in the middle, some madness for our ears, and the Rhodes' bending like a record player running out of battery. And I also think drummer is really good and a driving force behind. Good to know where to contact him, just in case. -- Carlos sanchiavedraz * Musix GNU+Linux http://www.musix.es _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
