Would love to get some feedback if anyone has a few minutes to listen to a song or 2

^ original funk song I wrote/played in Logic and added harmonica.




Harmonica solo over backing track
Recorded today.

With... interesting participation by nature.



Original dance music, let's say Trance adjacent.

I have a lot of original dance but this one is special to me because my daughter wrote the piano part which serves as the original skeleton/framework for the song.




Guns n Roses "November Rain" ending on piano





Another funk song.

I dig the instrumentation here.
I recorded live ukulele and harmonica and had a solid mix of keys tones and a retro ish sounding synth solo.

Interesting note:
I played the ukulele part with a broken arm.

Right humerus snapped in half during surgery to remove shoulder replacement. Recorded this a few weeks later. They couldn't set it or put any screws or anything because the replacement had been infected so any metal would attract the bacteria and then have no way to fight it off so my arm just stayed broken until the next surgery.

Also, as such, keys played with broken right arm too.

Sounds good Jeff! I listened to Jack and coke and the harmonica playing and keys were both tasty. You're quite the musician.

Another electronic track

I had a lot of fun blending the percussion with the melodic content on this one. There is a sort of marimba part playing harmonized 128th notes I think.

The editing on this one was crazy and pretty intricate. I really wanted to explore the way the different sounds and sound fx interacted

I also had fun playing around with call and response and finding the time in between and letting those melodies and harmonies play off and around eachother.

That's impressive my friend. Thanks for sharing.

I've seen you mention that you're a musician so its good to finally hear some of your stuff. Jack & Coke has a nice groove. Could almost picture Herbie Hancock playing keys. Is the harmonica your main instrument that you play? Got a kick out of Updraft's video ending. Good stuff.

Thanks.

Keys has always been my primary instrument but 2 major shoulder surgeries in 2023 gave me some time to improve harmonica skills. Spent many years being quite meh at harmonica but finally starting to feel like I know where I am at and what I am trying to say.

Diggin' the funk track, TS.

Harmonica sounds a little off to me in that second video, but could just be the difference in sound between a live instrument being played over the recorded backing track in a video.
