It's really true! I did as promised yesterday and went out in the park
for a
couple hours with the wood flute (I can't really "play" the flute, just
practice breathing tones through it - good general relaxation/feedback
technique). I found a new corner in the park, believe it or not I've
lived
here 2 years and Elysian Park is so huge I haven't seen it all.
Later last night I actually felt capable of dealing with MIDI!! I felt
inspired to make live drum loops on the ASR-X and have the sequencer
(great
sampler but lousy sequencer,) slave the JamMan. I could play bass into the
Jammie synced to my real drum loops. It was this whole theoretical idea
that
I knew I could do but for months my mind didn't want to deal with hooking
it
up. Of course, it was practically a no-brainer. Plus, somehow, I'm back
on-topic!
Bottom line: a cool new groove - a foundation for a new song. Guess what?
It's 11:47am, another super-clear day in Los Angeles. I'm going out there
again!
