Heard the first track in the car on the radio. Thankful to live in a place that has things like KMHD. Liked it enough to look it up.
Now Playing... What are you Listening to Right Now?

Man, the world needs more jazz oboe.
I had a bassoonist friend who I always thought should wander into the jazz. The way he phrased the famous Rite of Spring opening was almost like good jazz. If bass clarinet is amazing for jazz why not bassoon? It could be the next big thing.
Edit: just went down a little jazz double reed rabbit hole. Found some bassoon + pedalboard.

Check out Anthony Braxton on various big bass horns.
Paul McCandless played in a 100 seat bar a few blocks from my house, with Tony Furtado. He brought in 9 horns, mixing it all was really a trip. Super cool guy, I felt very privileged.

I swear, deep down, I think my pedalry nonsense is mostly me trying to emulate these kinds of tones. P bass+meatbox+fuzz is at least akin to contabass sax/clarinet. I'm just a Bennie Maupin wannabe over here.

I recently ended up with an ehx attack/decay and I’ve been lost for hours with the ebow type sounds you can get from it. Pretty amazing if you haven’t checked one out it’s worth looking at, not sure how useful for actual music making it’ll be though lol

McCandless brought a bass clarinet to the show I mixed, luckily it had some kind of trick reed pickup or built in mic. He brought along all the mics that we needed and taught me some very cool mic placement techniqes.

That effect exists on my ehx HOG and I do use it on one preset. It has the dry signal with octave down (attack normal) and then a few higher octaves w attack delay sweep in on long notes. One of like 13 reasons I have such a monstrosity in my set up.

Yeah, I was actually thinking that bassoon sounded kinda 8 bit as he was flying through that piece. Like the texture of the sound is what’s so hard to emulate - that amplification of the reed via the instrument vs the vibration of a string amplified via, well, an amp. Two totally different “textures” (in my thoroughly lay terminology).

Did you know that back in '62 they made a little fuzzbox so the electric bass could sound like a bass saxophone?

I'm in the audience in this video. Drew Gress (bass) is a monster. Actually all 5 of these people are insanely talented. I was shocked to see it was posted by my pal Libby, didn't know she was there that night.
