This simplistic and rough song fragment is the result. It&#8217;s just Em-D7 looped 3 times. The keyboard part is just a closed root position Em triad and then a D triad, each with the root note doubled an octave below. I used the &#8220;Silicon Strings&#8221; synth pad sound. The drum loop is &#8220;Exotic Beat 05&#8221; which I think sounds pretty cool through the &#8220;Detailed Drums&#8221; kit. The bass line is a simple pentatonic ostinato played on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.white-mountain.org\/pictures\/gallery\/MTD_Fretless\">MTD 535 fretless bass<\/a> with octave and stereo chorus effects. The bass melody line was improvised clean (no effects, so you can hear all my mistakes clearly) and was played on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.white-mountain.org\/pictures\/gallery\/Modulus\">Modulus 4-string bass<\/a>. Based on the fact that it took me about 1 hour to do all this stuff, and most of the time was spent evolving the composition and refining performances, I guess GarageBand is pretty useful.<\/p>\n<div class=\"compact_audio_player_wrapper\"><div class=\"sc_player_container1\"><input type=\"button\" id=\"btnplay_69e052f493f607.19229078\" class=\"myButton_play\" onClick=\"play_mp3('play','69e052f493f607.19229078','http:\/\/www.jamieflournoy.com\/jamie_music\/Em-D7_loop.mp3','80','false');show_hide('play','69e052f493f607.19229078');\" \/><input type=\"button\"  id=\"btnstop_69e052f493f607.19229078\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"myButton_stop\" onClick=\"play_mp3('stop','69e052f493f607.19229078','','80','false');show_hide('stop','69e052f493f607.19229078');\" \/><div id=\"sm2-container\"><!-- flash movie ends up here --><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recorded Tuesday, February 15, 2005.
