Kost Er C'hoat Tune


Henk van Aalten

Recommended Posts

After hearing both recordings of Al and Jody of the Kost er C'hoat dance tunes. Alan and I got (simultaneously) the idea to combine the recording.

As a result I imported both tracks in Audacity and found to my surprise that the overall tempo of both was almost equal, but the tempo between start and finish was at certain points in the tune rather different.

Anayway some cutting, pasting, inserting silence gave an acceptable result that maybe can improved.

Both Jody and Al were (pleasantly) surprised by the result, so here it is:

 

Alan and Jody as a digital duo, playing a Kost er C'hoat tune

 

To hear them at best, it is advised to use headphones. Jody is playing on one side and Al from the other. Funny that this is also true for the ocean between them :D

 

(when I have time left, I will try to improve the mix)

Now that was fun! On my left I assume is Alan and on the right Jody. Question, are both men playing Jefferies? I assume it is the way in which the boxes were recorded, but the instument on the right side has an almost "wet" sound. I know that's not possible because there is only one reed per note, but it is an interesting contrast in styles and sound and very pleasing together.

 

This might encourage other trans Altantic collaborations!

Maybe the chords are "wet"? I'm pretty sure Jody recorded his before his self-described adjustment of the tuning. :unsure:

In fact it shows the feasibility of the C.Net Virtual Big Band. Mind you.. those guys did record without a master-tune or ticker-track for synchronization!!

 

Henk, after a second and third listening, I'm very impressed with your editing skills. Bravo!

Well.. it was real fun to do it :)

Now somewhere I have got Jody,Myself and Henk playing his CG in the upper register against the two GDs.

Now what have I done with it? I remember now, Henk still has it.

A few more playing the chorus (B part) would be rather nice.

Big Band by stealth? Would I do such a thing?

You might be right Al. Must be somewhere in the house...

First I'm off for a week to Schotland and when I'm back I will look for it :unsure:
