Bossa Absurd

[Richard John]

Hi All
Just a rhythm guitar clip. Maybe a verse and chorus? If you want a play with it, feel free.
Cheers

WEL, FINE, I'M THINKING OF A POSSIBLE BASS : WILL TRY IT TONIGHT. BUSINESS IS BACK :END OF THE CRISIS ? OH, COULD BE A THEME FOR LYRICS !

[Saladin De Tolosa]

Just to check if this is tuned, if not please send the chord chart.
Did it with the Ricken, but if that's in the mood, I'll try something more sexy with the fretless Guild.

[Richard John]

Sal, this bassline is perfect!! It would be great if someone could add some real percussion.
Speak to you soon,
Richard

I can't ask Jimmy 'cause he's in Japan for the moment : lucky man?
Maybe I could try smthg with acoustic perc, and you'll tell me.
What do you want to do with voice ?

[Richard John]

Sal, I'll spend a litle time on it on Saturday, think up a melody and organise it into a song (maybe longer than 59 seconds!). You could sing it, or your sister? or maybe someone else in Kryptic? I am working with Maria again now, but we only get together every couple of weeks. Your percussion idea sounds good.

[Saladin De Tolosa]

AHAH ! IT WOULD REALLY BE GREAT FOR ME TO PLAY IN A MARIS'S SONG, BUT IT SEEMS IT'S NOT POSSIBLE FOR THE MOMENT. IN FACT I ASKED A GIRL WHO'S A FRIEND OF JIMMY TO TRY SMTHG ON IT : SHE HAS 48 H LEFT TO DO, SHE SAID... ANYWAY, EACH ALTERNAT MIX IS WELCOME IF WE GET TOO MUCH MATERIAL, I SUPPOSE. THE GIRL : ANNE-LAURE, SHE'S SONGWRITING, FRENCH AND ENGLISH, WITH HER GUITAR ; DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S READY FOR KRYPTIC, BUT HERE'S HER MYSSPACE : www.myspace.com/lapucebibi
CHEERS

Have listened to Anne - Laure, she has a nice voice. Is she writing a tune and words for this track, or would it be helpful if I wrote something and sent it to her, for her to sing!

[Saladin De Tolosa]

HERE ARE SOME HAND PERCUSSIONS AND A DRUM CLIP. YOU CAN GET SEPARATE FILES FOR : KICK, SNARE+CYMBALS, GUIRO, VIBRASLAP, CLAVE, SHAKER, EGG, TRIANGLE.

JUST FOR FUN, A FIRST MIX WITH STUPID LYRICS, SUNG WITH MARDOT, DEFINITIVELY TO PUT IN " SILLY SONGS" . WE HAD SOME FUN, BUT I'LL TRY TO DO BETTER NEXT TIME, AHAH !

[Richard John]

Very impressed (especially with the backing vocals!!) Version no 1 is in the bag!
I've also spent a lot of time on this today. For some reason the bass track, when I loaded it up was a slightly different speed! After much stretching, expanding, contracting etc etc I gave up and recorded the guitar again! (One day I'll understand this bloody system!) The guitar, drums (brilliant by the way!), bass etc now sound good in my mix. I've expanded it into a full size song and have an idea for melody etc, which I will send you Monday or Tuesday. So version no'2 is on it's way as well. Thanks for posting the lyrics. I'm embarassed to say that I understood about 3 words!!! but these were very good :)
Cheers

SURE I'LL SAY MARGOT THAT YOU LIKE HER BACKING VOCALS ! I'LL TRY TO TRANSLATE ASAP, BUT MAINLY, TO MAKE IT SHORT, IT'S THE STORY OF A STUPID GUY WHO HAS BOUGHT A SPORT CAR, BUT HE'S AFRAID HIS GIRLFRIEND IS GETTING ANGRY, SO HE DECIDED IT WILL BE EASY TO FIND ANOTHER BLONDE NOW. THER'S ALREADY A SECOND VERSION : MARGOT IS SINGING A FEMALE LYRIC VERSION, LEAD WITH ONLY YOUR GUITAR ( YESTERDAY). AND A THIRD ONE BY THE GIRL I'VE TOLD YOU ABOUT(GOT IT TODAY), BUT I HAVE TO TAKE HER VOX CLEAN. WHAT COULD BE FUNNY NOW IS THAT I SING YOUR ENGLISH LYRIC IF YOU WANT, AND YOU SING MY FRENCH ONE, HOPEFULLY WITH A BIG-BIG ENGLISH ACCENT !
DON'T YOU WANT ME TO SEND A NEW REC OF THE BASSLINE AT YOUR BPM, RATHER THAN REDOING YOUR OWN STUFF ?

[Saladin De Tolosa]

ANYWAY HERE IS MARGOT VERSION ; SHE'S 13 Y OLD SO SHE CAN'T REALLY DRIVE, BUT IT COULD BE A GUIDE LINE FOR A BRITISH SINGING GIRL...
