I Thought I Remembered You - Incomplete Demo

Built around the finger picking style and bass line of an old band tune we called "Big Star". The original tune was about our aspirations: "I wanna be a big star...." Here, I'm playing heavily with percussion loops, using multiple layers to determine how to weave the layers to best advantage.

Recorded using GarageBand and....

• '06 Rickenbacker 340 VP VB
• '08 Fender Jaguar bass
• Kawai keyboard with voicings facilitated by GB
• Drums were looped, chopped up & re-voiced through GB

In A Special Way - Incomplete

At the time this was written, I was especially into Motown and this tune shows it. A very basic demo, as the roughly sketched lead line indicates, but it has the beginnings of a serious groove. The gigged version rocked.
