R.I.P. Alan White. Love You so much.
RIP Alan White
Love it! Love the editing work on this video too! Best, T.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Alan White : I'm looking forword to start initiating something that might start happening hahaa
he's a good pianist !!!
Awesome..have been a fan of alan since he joined yes!! im a musician myself drums /keys..best of luck..
Please capitalize my name thank you.
Interesting. From the promo videos that have been released, it was obvious that the compositions were the result of studio editing and that Alan was never in the same room with the rest, but I thought he was drumming to their noise. Turns out the sequence was exactly the opposite.
It sounds like a lot of improvisation might be involved, and if that's the case how can you have each of the three members recording in different places at different times? I love all three of these guys, especially Alan White and Tony Levin. I don't know who is gonna take over playing the Chapman stick after Tony's gone, which I hope is a long long time from now. There's nobody out there who can play that instrument like he can. Anyway, so all three guys recorded in 3 different places at 3 different times? Am I getting that right? Props to them for doing it.
You are correct, my friend - all 3 guys recorded in 3 different places at 3 different times. We first recorded Alan, then Tony put down his bass & stick parts to Alan's drums, then Torn put guitar parts on top of that. Very fun and interesting way to make a record with 3 of the best in the business!
@@LazyBonesRecordings What was the final verdict on this process of making an album? Would they do it again?
@@GeoffGeoffAndGeoff Everyone enjoyed the process but given everyone's busy schedules not sure that lightning will strike twice.
There are loads of great musicians playing Chapman Stick. Tony is far from being the only one. Have you heard of Steve Hahn, Nick Beggs, Rob Martino, Greg Howard, Steve Adelson? They are all great stick players with albums you can buy.
as a solo musician (who can't find others to play with who are innovative, sigh), I am forced to do "Sequential Improvisation", which is the hardest way to improvise, when recording.
That means, i'll start with ONE instrument (over a click track or musical loop i made), say GUITAR, and just MAKE IT ALL UP on the spot, one take. Next, i'll record the drum track, along to that FIRST track of guitar.....and do ONE TAKE. Then bass. Then keys or whatever. (I'm unschooled so I have no idea what I played last time around, and I must react in REAL TIME to whatever chords or notes or syncopations are on the prior instrumental tracks.)
It's very "dangerous", but I enjoy that chaos!
(And with the power of editing, I can cut out any crap, or "rescue" it!)
THE BEST THING a musician can ever learn, IMO, is how to comfortably improvise.
Cuz then, you save eons of time NOT memorizing or rehearsing stuff!
Should only take 45 minutes to make a killer record!
(How Tangerine Dream and many jazzers did it! Just HIT RECORD and make a great record in real time!)
