Face Fade Café

This is an experimental jazz track.
The title comes from the chord progression or, more accurately, the chord progression is derived from the title.

F-A-C-E-
F-A-D-E-
C-A-F-E

BIAB Style: CAPRI.STY

3476:Bass, Acoustic, JazzBluesNeilAB Sw 140 (Reverb 40)
Real Drums+JazzBrushes (Reverb 40)
3480:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzBluesCompOlly SW 140 (Reverb 40)
3482:Sax, Alto, Soloist JazzBluesPJ Sw 140 (Reverb 60)

Added 455:Piano, Acoustic, Soloist Jazz Sw 140 (Bluesy) (Reverb 60)

A mere one minute and twelve seconds, this track is short (it is rumored that faces fade fast in this particular café).

Ghostgum, you should experiment more often.

This sounds great.

Nice RTs and mix.

But it is a tad short whistle

Night little package of sound.

Re: experiment: Any organic source of structured material can probably be turned into good music, even if it's a Scrabble board.

That was quite a clever idea put into action! The idea gives it a rather unique twist and sounds interesting to me! Thanks, Torrey

I borrowed the idea from a story about my wife's grandfather, William Cade, a noted violinist and the first conductor of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. A friend and admirer of his composed a musical piece for violin and viola based principally on the notes C A D E.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

An interesting combination.

Fun to listen to. Discordant and not discordant in many ways.

The Jazz Brushes fitted perfectly.

You know me: brevity, simplicity, and an aversion to mindless repetition. wink

Thanks for the review.

Hi Ghostgum,

The rendering of the brass and the piano is very pleasant. Nice mix. Too bad it's so short. We will ask for more.

Best regard
