Pamparo in Toronto

Thanks to a good friend I met online, his latest post inspired me and somehow reminded that I haven’t really jammed for a while.

Eye Doctor

Thanks Larry!

It has been a great start to spring with this summer-like weather here in Toronto. Spirits are high especially after the Holy Week festivities. And today, I had about half-an-hour “alone” time after work … hehehe

This is using an Open-E Tuning (E-B-E-G#-B-E) that was recorded using QuickTime video capture with an Ipevo USB phone that i use for Skype! Of course, I did some post-processing on Logic Express

This is an A-minor (A-Dorian) progression @ 80bpm in 4/4. It’s a little over 30-secs because of an extra bar to fit the intro/outro.

As I have mentioned before in my previous post, this is my first post (technically second only to this post) in a series of 1/2 minute clips.

This one is a slow 90bpm, 3/4 time and 15 bars of short music. It is a lullaby that I have actually written a bit of music as well. Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on where you’re sitting), I couldn’t get myself to sing it while recording. So I am just printing the words here, just try to follow along. The melody is clearly defined, I think

Goodnight, Sleep

Close your eyes
Rest your mind
Daddy’s here
By your side
The sun had set
The moon up high
Goodnight, sleep, little child

Without further ado, here’s a 30-second Lullaby. Oh btw, there are a couple of bum notes here. I was too lazy to re-record!

Enjoy!

Tried out some pedals that I bought recently … managed to cook up something, albeit, a little raw … Enjoy!
