Title: Harold the Horny Kaossilator - "Heart In A Cage" TRANS-ATLANTIC BLUES FESTIVAL

BluesFest (banner image missing)


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!

I was hoping somebody would try something different~ But I would have never guessed it would Harold and his trumpet!! That sounds like a damn trumpet!! Cool!

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  ;D

You are probably skilled enough to play two at one time! Imagine Harold and his wacked out twin brother hitting the night clubs.  8)

Later, NIgel
