James H. Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 ALTO? Wow. You have a great high register, then. Forget what I said about opening up the tone - for alto that's an amazing tone up there. Impressive. I didn't even notice the lower notes that would have been out of range for a soprano - it just sounded soprano to me. Shows how much I know. :sweat: *clap clap clap* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiii1408 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I forgot to mention above that the piece was originally for oboe, so it would have been in the soprano range and then adapted for the alto range, which could have something to do with why you thought I was playing a soprano saxophone. This song is mostly in the upper register. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzooo Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I'm sure this will have limited appeal, but it's one of my favorite compositions--Big n' Tall. This version was filmed at a benefit concert I co-hosted with the other keyboardist, the Julliard-trained Ken Bichel. The opening few minutes are completely improvised, of course. I used to perform this all the time with my live trio in San Diego and the improvs were not usually this dreamy or disjointed, but what the heck--it's live! I layered two sounds on my synth--a gritty, electric guitar-like one with a synchronized delay, and a warm ambient pad that I brought in and out with a volume pedal. Big n' Tall, by Doug Robinson with Ken Bichel Some good rhythmic stuff between us, I think. Thanks, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H. Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 I got bored, spent about an hour doing this for kicks and giggles. Final Fantasy IX, title theme. My recording, multi-track The original is four tenor recorders. Mine is four soprano recorders taken down one octave using software, so the tone is a bit rounder than if I actually owned a tenor recorder.
