Vanilla Shadoe

Spoken Word track introducing Shadoe Sessions. Peaked at #2 on the overall talk/poetry charts; #1 nine days on the talk subcharts (five-four consecutive). Not bad for a promotional message!

Very rough sketch of "I'm Back," it doesn't sound much like the final version. My first experiments with PlayerPro. Top 70 Experimental Electronica song.

I've found guitar samples (Soundwave, available at hornet.org) with much better timbre, although they may be a bit clipped (was the microphone too close to the guitar?) The song now sounds a lot better and a lot closer to what I had in mind.

Acoustic MIDI version of "I'm Back," with acoustic fretless bass, acoustic nylon guitar, and drum kit #1. Also a synth choir, as usual.

The piano exercise that forms the core of 'Hanging Around.' Rhythmic bass on a tritonic scale; melodic treble based on alternating notes on a pentatonic scale, centered on GA above middle C, with variations. Top 60 Piano song.

"Hanging Around" gets the Soundwave treatment.
