WeLL, I figured the that if anything could be salvaged here, posting on 'fool's day' might redeem a giggle.. But, i think the joke might be too long:) and perhaps, not very good.
But, not even a rim shot?
They say if the joke hasn't 'hit' by mid day, quickly abort, or risk the coconut cream pie face
here's some back story to the so called piece.
Featuring Rag piano and The Survival Kit ensemble.
This piece is one of my earlier experiments..
I had a saloon piano, and wanted to put together a small ensemble to match it. I had a scattering of neglected toys that i thought would be appropriate: a souvenir shop quality bagpipe ($35), slide whistle, harmonica, pan pipe, kazoo, cheesy organ... It was my hope that these 'tattered' sounds could play convincingly - as part of one family. This was the challenge.
This was back when I was using a Fostex RR.. The sounds are sampled or played live.. Part of my interest was how to create electronic fx using acoustic instruments, partly as a response the rise of silicon orchestras.
It is my hope that there is something underneath the cacophony worthy of keeping, though I suspect, not. (Aside from guerrilla mix job, the most disheartening decision was miking the saloon piano too close.. ) If I have wasted your time, I apologize.
