Scott's fingers are like fire crackers.

I found this girl on youtube by default "vanessa g"
She is remarkable. Ever seen her before? This is one example of many of her vids I have seen.

That Vanessa G. is astounding.

Her two hands are like bags full of snakes.

Makes me feel like an idiot

It' beyond my comprehension how people make their fingers move that fast! Wow, amazing!

Bit of jazz today...

 

[Rayblewit]

Dave Brubeck was a Jazz master. I just love his work. His most famous tune of all was "Take Five" one of my all time favourite jazz pieces.
Sadly we lost Dave Brubeck just a few years ago. He was ninety something.
Thanks for the memory Becky.
Love Jazz.

Middle Eastern Music and Synth Tutorials in my Inbox this week

Gary

 

[Rayblewit]

The middle eastern track was great. Superb sound.

The synth tutorials sent me to sleep.
His voice is dull and boring.
I fast forwarded . .

Hoo - ray

when I first began watching this I smirked but the more I listened I realized I don't think I've ever heard vocals like this. I don't even think the original is like this. You guys hear it? Ever heard anything so perfect and fitting to the song? They sort of hum in between words for one. Don't fall asleep Gary . This kind of stuff is sort of before my time since I was born in 57 but I really enjoy some of it now.

and this is just cute as hell. Reminds me of my babysitters when I was bad on purpose

now that was some fancy footwork, well, I mean everythingwork.

 

[Alchemy]

Gary, you know I can't stay awake for an hour on youtube. They're pretty hot though.

edit: okay I'm savin it. It will be good stuff to fall asleep to. So far I don't know any of the songs. I thought I would cause I definitely have heard of them.
edit, yes of course, now I remember. Their big hits seem very different from the other stuff. The other stuff is strangely not alarming yet it's different and very good. Great guitar work and vocals.

Alchemy >>> Your post about "West Coast" synthesis seems to have disappeared.

But for an answer watch this highly informative and entertaining documentary.

This is just the trailer. The complete documentary is available on Netflix.

Gary

And YES!!! The Bangles wrote some terrific songs in the 90's.

Thanks Gary, Now that's musical alchemy for sure . Looks very interesting. I can slightly relate since my first synth was a radio shack moog. On the west coast thing, I deleted because what I was seeing in it was apparently not what others were on youtube etc. (after I googled it and saw preset videos). They are all playing it like poly strings using above middle C. I was playing it more like guitar-bass and it has an "elastic" sustained tom-guitar sound that kind of revolves around the room even without stereo. I suppose it's also mainly because of the riff I just happened upon. It also sounds very natural. I suppose the attack-decay of the sound is fairly common somewhere between guitar and drums.
