Default Five Easy Pieces...


(Hooked up the vinyl group to see if it was still alive and posted this to
it by mistake!!)


So, again....


OK, the task ahead is to turn this:

....into summat worthy* by means of 'training by recording and playing
back'....!!

The question for the assembly here is 'Why stereo?' - the Kuhlau is mono and
I don't see it suffers for it?

Although, if the mic I've ordered is the biz (arrives tomorrow, hopefully) I
have the opportunity to 'twin' it fairly cheaply with a *nearly new*
secondhand one from an ad on the SOS page that Roy so kindly posted a link
thereunto....???

Apologies for quality - those are samples grabbed at random, previously
recorded on all sorts of ropey kit (including a Korg electronic piano for
the three 'Extracts', I believe) and even ropier methodology (lapel mic),
sometime in the past! :-)

(Swim would go crackers if she knew I had posted the clips - they are from
way back and nothing like her best!)

Anyways, I kinda see us doing the European circuit in a year or so's time,
with her thrashing the the joanna to death and me turning the pages, in me
satin waistcoat, patent leathers and dodgy syrup....

:-)


* Larf all yew like - the piano is not even Swim's first instrument, back in
the misty past she was on a level with Emma Johnson at one time, on the
clartus fartus...!! ;-)
