Re: Cass county waltz

[William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

 This track had 4 tracks, a single note ostinato I created my  
toggling track speed as i recorded the loop if you toggle track speed  
every two beats while recording a simple 1/8th note figure you get a  
3/4 time signature check the archives more more possibilities with  
this technique. I also layed down a guit-box track  using half pseed  
again to create the shaker part and layered faux kick and snare on  
top, i also recorded a  quantize replace track set to a factor of 12  
to create and underlying 12/8 pulse, again playing very minimal note  
choices with in the key. lastly after i had established my main theme  
i played a VIm V IV progression  in half speed, soloed over it a bit  
without over dubbing, came back in to overdub toward the end of the IV  
chord and hit a replace/1/2 speed/reverse command to end overdub and  
flip the chord progression around as I jump and octave. I do this  
technique a fair amount to book end a progression  by playing it in  
reverse at twice the speed.

Curious about the mechanics of the reversed section...

It's a IV - V - vi progression, which I hadn't heard looped prior...

I did note a vi - V - IV section before but structurally it's  
different than the IV - V - vi section,so i don't think you are  
reversing that....
Are you playing the changes yourself  over tonally non-committed  
backing bits? And are you  reversing only one track or several?
Must have listened to that track a dozen times now Bill, really lovely  
work.
