Tea Bee Three

So this time round, it is a series of sessions developed with a Korg TB3 bass line - and a few other instruments devices and sound sources dropped into the mix here and there for a bit of gusto...





And now, a few extra details about each of the tracks:


TB3 vs Bass Station

What started off life as a jam session working through the fantastic sounds and convolutions of a Roland TB-3, soon developed into further edits from my vintage bass station rack and a kind of space bass war, with both sets of tracks weaving in and out of other in the final mix through different effects and different speeds. The result of what you get is the result of what you get!

TB3 and MC303 edit

...this time, the mighty TB3 bassline takes on the MC303 sequencer in a no holds barred taggy team contest, taking us into some off kilter beats and bad for your bits bass riffs. Enjoy!

TB3 and MC303 Part One Edit

...Here we have an edit culled down from a longer jam session made with the TB3 bassline running in tandem with a MC303 sequencer. Loopy lysergic madness in abundance here, with very little extra added and the live jam session that brought it to life, apart from a few fades and corrections to levels...

TB3 and MC303 Part Two Edit

...taken from the second half of a longer jam session made with the TB3 bassline running in cahoots with an MC3030 sequencer. This was a live jam session with only minimal editing made afterwards and believe it or not, is taken from the second half of the jam session that spawned TB3 and MC303 Part One Edit.  The middle session of the original jam session lost its way a little, but what we have here are two rather excellent sonic bookends!

TB3 and MC303 number 2

...from a series of different sessions made with using a TB3 bass line. I fell in love with the TB3 sound straight away. However, it wasn't quite as easy when syncing it up with my MC303 sequencer - using midi is all well and good, but it involved quite a bit of extra tweaking of the outer flanges to avoid an automatically synced up, electronic, robotic sound. After all, we all need a bit of the old chaos and bizarro quality in our lives, don't we?

TB3 and Crowd

...more from the TB3 seres - this time from a solo TB3 session, this time lovingly garnished with a field recording made from a crowd outside of shopping centre, looped and partially reversed and sewn back into the mix to give some unsettling bad ambience overtones.
