FAWM: "Dream it, do it!"

Dream it, do it!

Liner Notes

#bass #improvisation #instrumental #onetake
This is an "accidental" FAWM track. I was minding my own business, programming some drums when my Ibanez AGS260 just happened to end up in my hands as I was listening back. This is just a DD loose improvisation. The bass is running through my #homemade valve bass preamp and there's a hint of Stargazer reverb added in Reaper. Rough and ready, no editing, so you can hear where I keep catching the bridge pickup with my fingers - years of playing Jazz Bass and Precision Bass clones mean I'm not used to having a pickup there! #noai.

Music and image are mine. #noai

Rocking and grooving this one is, the drums go well with it!

Oh!! This is gorgeous! So beautifully melodic. When I hear pieces like this is only time I regret never spending time on electric bass. So expressive!!!

Ooh I was gazing at your embedded picture while listening to your epic bass noodle. She looks a beaut. I don’t think I’ve ever met a bass like that IRL…And home made valve preamp?! Wowsers DD is there no end to your talents?

@netnoise 2w

And thank you for reminding me that I downloaded Stargazer based on your advice last year (then promptly forgot I installed it).

@netnoise 2w

That's so awesome. I wish I could accidentally record a track like that. The shimmer provides the prefect "synth" bed for your melodic phrases.

Cool bass improv DD! WE all need base solos!!

@ccsfrogpond 2w

Very cool music computer setup, love the guitar! Given the background with this song, it turned out so fun! Your bass and the drums create push and pull experience, letting each one take it's turn in the spotlight. 🐸

Wow this is just gorgeous. Like floating on a (storm) cloud. When it ended I thought "no, too soon!"

@esc4p3 2w

Love the bass melody, despite it being an improv, there's no point where you can hear your brain wondering (pausing) where to go next, due to years of ingrained muscle and brain synchronisation . Love the photo too, it gives a little insight into what lies behind DD creations, like the pen and paper (I knew that detail already though)

God that axe is a beauty.

Very spacey. Actually puts me in mind of Heavy Metal, the animated movie. I feel like this is space trucker music. Hell yeah.
