Enlisted a couple of my brothers to help me out with some music for a short film made by some aboriginal sisters here in W.A.

Just a snippet from the end of the film - in fact, the whole thing is 12-bar, in one way or another

Very rugged mix as yet, but it'll all get polished..... soon

Good solid live sounds there bro.

...but don't polish it too much
imho the 'problem' (if at all) would be to melt the 2 parts, but the different atmo may fit prefectly with the movie, tho.
Great playing, rarely heard such a cool hi-hat
is the bass coming slowly into the track because of the scenery ? (just curious)

cheers, Tom

Hi Tom - i did end up changing where the bass came in for the final cut

It's the end of a short (6 minute) film about 2 old girls with an ancient rivalry who both have their eyes on the bingo caller. The JB style groove at the beginning is for a fast-cut bingo game scene, then the Gene Krupa toms are for when they follow him out to the carpark, almost getting to fisticuffs, where they catch him smooching his boyfriend (bass & drums enter together now) . The rest is the credits rolling.

Pretty lucky to know some world class blues players here in Perth - Dave Brewer is a master of the stratocaster - here he is with one of his bands http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7gzPIjMHQQ

And no, well said - i didn't polish it too much

Recorded on my P4/Sonar rig with Rode and Shure mics through RME and Onyx pres into Scope through the trusty A16

That sounds nice Brosky..
The Strat player is definately world class yepp.

yeah, and he isn't too shy to use one of the most cutting tones I ever heard from that instrument. Ueberstrat.
The old A16 keeps the funk, so to say... great for such live mixes

cheers, Tom

The Piano sounds great too, and the ratio of the instrument is live and nice...

Yeah Jim - Brother Bob Patient has some strong boogie woogie in him on the keys, to be sure - and he looks like John Wayne with Beethoven's hair

I'm getting into playing my old double bass a lot these days, i find it just sits in the mix for some things, and delivers what the electric bass cannot. The bass i have was left to me by a good friend who passed away a few years back - he played The Firebird on it with the Sydney Symphony in the early 60's - with Stravinsky conducting

It's a Czech bass from the 40's, kinda halfway between worlds - enough sustain to have tone, but not enough to sound like a fretless electric, if you dig what i mean.
