ellyssianTake 4 is up on the Lefty Valdez MySpace.
We've moved from a train wreck to a car wreck, and it even sounds as if we're almost playing the same song!
If you haven't checked it out yet, give it a listen - we've received absolutely no feedback on this tune from non-band members, and I'd like to at least hear about how bad it still is... for those who've listened to the different live takes, it'd be nice to know if we're improving!
This take is still the drum machine,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
noone234 on alto sax, aequitaslevitas on piano, and meself on guitar and bass.
We're debating havingaequitaslevitas do the clarinet part (doubling the one Rachel will be doing) or doing the same part - maybe up a third - on the trumpet. We may also have him add in the trombone, or have noone234 double the sax part. With the wonders of multitracking, we can have a whole horn section.

Date: 2008-07-28 04:44 am (UTC)I'm confused because I only saw two recordings and you are mentioning take 4. Are you including Greensleeves and Dinner Music?
(Bad Bunny is a stunning piece, that I'm not inclined to include with the other recordings. It stands on it's own, you see.)
The last recording is sounding more polished. I am not fit to make any useful comments, as I am musically ignorant. I will say it was enjoyable background music as I flitted about on the interwebs.

The one labelled "5 on Reserve software" is played by the sheet music program, using MIDI instruments, so it's somewhat an indication of what the song does. It includes a clarinet part that Rachel still needs to learn.
