Here’s a prelim rough mix of my bizarre 3-chord rockabilly protest 12-bar thing, “March Like Hell.” Gretsch 5422 was used for the 3 rhythm tracks, bass was Fender p-bass and banjo solo is a Gold Tone Cripple Creek 6-String Banjitar (same tuning as guitar). Drums are MT Power Drum Kit free plugin. Basic A-D-E chord fingering repeat progression with everything capo’d at the 3rd fret. Used slap delay on the Gretsch and 15ms delay on the banjo. Pedals on the Gretsch were Keeley compressor, TC Flashback delay and MXR Timmy for some very mild overdrive. 160bpm, 1:50 song length. Tracked some subtle chorus backing vocals tonight. Gotta listen tomorrow and see how it sounds before adding to the mix. #guitar #music #recording #banjo #gearsquad #songwriting #bass #mentalhealth

Another basement evening in the music corner. Listened to the banjo track takes from last night’s session. Got a couple good ones. Tuning was fine. The mic placement and levels were set up just right too. Definitely works for the song. Tried 25ms of delay on the track. Sounds okay. I’ll try some test backing chorus oohs or aahs tomorrow night over the main vocal and see how that works. #music #banjo #guitar #recording #gearsquad

Basement session tonight. Tracking the pre-final verse solo part on this freaky rockabilly protest tune. Was going to use guitar, then thought I’d try banjo for an even weirder vibe. Channelling my inner Pete Seeger. A few years ago I picked up a used Gold Tone 6-string banjo off craigslist. It’s well built, but a bit quirky tuning. Very sensitive to getting out of tune. Tuners are good; likely the floating bridge, the tailpiece and neck joint with 6 strings is pretty intense. It’s gonna work, I think. Got it to hold tune okay, but tuning between each take. Put down a bunch of test tracks. Used the CAD Audio GXL1200 small diaphragm condenser pencil mic. Pretty decent sound. I’ll see what I’ve got tomorrow night. #music #recording #guitar #banjo #gearsquad

Going to try and work on new music today, or at least just jam around again for first time seriously since moving into RV.

Setup my guitar amp and pedals. The pedal setup is actually kind of ingenious with my use of space. Despite initial appearances the Wah pedal is actually at the front of the signal chain and the output from that loops back into the Big Muff and the other dirt pedals. This puts the wah in a more accessible place for me.

Also setup the Behringer TD-3 and plugged IN the MIDI and audio for it. The 303 is a staple of In The Womb Of The Universe as much as strings and piano for a reason.

If I get anything serious going that I wanna get down, I might grab the SM57 and mic stand and mic up the guitar cab.

A collection of guitar effect pedals is shown on a wooden floor, with several cables tangled around them. Notable pedals include a Big Muff, Spring King, and various distortion and fuzz effects.
A cluttered workspace featuring a laptop, an audio interface, a Novation Launchkey MIDI keyboard, and various electronic devices and cables. A desk lamp is visible, along with a radio and other equipment in the background. Sunlight is streaming in through a window.
The image shows a small Orange amplifier, labeled "Micro Dark," atop an orange speaker cabinet. Next to it is a red analog synthesizer, the TD-3, featuring various knobs and buttons. A laptop is partially visible to the right.

Down in the basement. Got the vocals comped on this speedy fast 12-bar blues based rockabilly protest piece. May do some backing oohs or aahs on the choruses. Put down a few prelim bass tracks tonight too. I totally dig playing bass on this stuff. Good fun riffs, runs and resolutions at the turnarounds. #bass #singing #music #recording #gearsquad #guitar

/// "jazzklub #06" is online now and looking forward for listeners:

radiyan.uber.space/serendipity

Das Besondere der „jazzklub“-Session #06, die am 26. März 2025 – wie immer im „Pierre Grasse“ – stattfand, war nicht nur die außergewöhnliche Auswahl der Stücke (z.B. ein "Largo" von Telemann), sondern auch die Tatsache, daß zum ersten Mal ausschließlich Mitglieder des @jazzkollektiv Halle e.V. zusammen und miteinander spielten.

Namentlich waren das:

* Vinzenz Wieg – Gitarre

* Jonas Schneider – Drums

und - wie immer:

* Albrecht Brandt - Kontrabass
