ellyssianTwo new songbits tonight.
The first, a walking bass line... nice, mellow... should be played on an upright, but the Warwick does okay with the tone set down smooth and low... fretted basses, however, need not apply. There are three little lines that fit in nicely together. Maybe do a piano trio feel with a piano part; could also work for a horn section.
The second, night and day from the first... crunchy, almost grungy guitar - muted, sliding chord fragments with some unexpected harmonizations... simpler to the ear than to describe. A three riff A section, and a two chord B section. The B sounded good going into some solo fragments, but I need to develop it more and see where it goes. Could be a verse for lyrics, could just be an instrumental. I'm hearing some fragmented horns coming in on it, and some bass lines, but I have to play with it more to try it out.
I'll record both fragments tomorrow if I get half a chance.
