Back in lurk for a short while - too busy at work!

« on: April 09, 2009, 10:39:52 AM »

Just got back from holiday and had to enter into the spirit of this whole thing. Didn't want to do another guitar-based blues as it would sound just like the last one I did (need to learn some more licks first), so for a bit of fun I thought I would turn to the trusty Kaossilator and try to blow some blues horn. And here it is!

Cheers,

Nigel

PS thanks to 48 and everyone who made this happen!

Thanks guys! It was indeed fun, at least with the Kaossilator, it's impossible to play a bum note! But that little thing is really cool - it's a pretty realistic trumpet sound.

Cheers,

Nigel

Wow, this is a great addition!
I love the way you come along and just 'pull a rabbit out of your hat'...,
very original on your part Nigel.
I have no clue what a Kaossilator is, I gotta go google it...
maybe is is something i might actually be able to learn...LOL

I like this device - at some point I want to get one. It sounds a little more like a trombone to me - played one for 7 years. Maybe a little spliced between both instruments, but I could get a similar sound with an F key.

Sounds great, but I don't buy the "Impossible to play a bum note" statement. I watched a video and it's like any instrument - you have to build chops or you ain't gonna be no good  Grin

You are probably skilled enough to play two at one time! Imagine Harold and his wacked out twin brother hitting the night clubs.  Cool

Later, NIgel
