Wooo, nice! This is "Popsticks" from Analogue Drums on its first outing; different dynamics. But that doesn't excuse some of my timing ;). Just can't think fast enough... First good jam since my enforced break.
A little light grooving. Back on ns_kit7.
Second edit from same set as above. This one features nun more heavily and gets weird, heavy and cool.
Slow and powerful. Some wonderful bass and guitar work, with great support from the keys. Delicious. (And nearly ended.)
Very quiet; bit more soul than I usually do. Lovely guitar sounds.
Louder. Bluesier. Mellow. And -- amazingly -- had an ending!
For all its defects, this was a lot of fun; not ns_kit7 for a change - it might have been Big Mono from Analog Drums or SessionLoops' "DF_Vol.1_YouToo_Kit".
35 minutes of varying fun; ns_kit7 mangled in various ways.
Short piece before the jam fell apart.
An interesting rhythm, even if I do screw up frequently. Could have benefitted from a touch of reverb, maybe.
A full hour of jamming madness. Mostly me on drums with some occasional assistance. It's a varied set but much to be enjoyed.
It's a rare privilege to jam with Puffer and polmac, so I had to share this short clip.
A small experimental piece.
Three minutes off the front of an hour's jam. Lovely and mellow. Shame the lead was too loud after this.
Smokin' jam...
Said at the time to be reminiscent of Floyd (Pink).
This set started 11 mins earlier - you just get to hear the good bit. It rather fell apart afterwards.
Really good fun jam with treys (Chow started hissing about 6m in, sadly - though I guess we were nearly done).
A rocking jam with treys and crew.
Not the best but not too bad, I guess. Nice piano sound but needs more instrumentation.
Sometimes a jam sounds so much better on listening back than you thought it would at the time!
First of four edits from a fun session. Blues 1. Levels could be better.
Second edit - another blues jam, starts with 12 bars drum intro :) This is a long jam!
The third cut is a rockier number. Still some issues with a loud guitarist... (that goes without saying...)
Finally another blues jam, with "blues" present -- how could we refuse?
A bit of rock and roll. polmac just sounds so good.
Serious funk. Gorgeous bit at 3m40 to 4m00.
Fairly silly but quite fun at the time.
Fun - Ste getting some great sounds from his Line6 Pod. Me on Kontakt3 for the first time.
Good fun session.
Bluesy jam.
Takes a while to hang together but it's a good session. Some audio glitching here. /Sigh/
Really enjoyed this jam. Great fun.
First of two edits from an interesting jam.
Second edit.
Rescued from an overloud lead, this is NIGHTCHILD on bass. Quite pleasant, really, yes?
Way cool jam :)
Heavy jam!
Not entirely sure this comes under CC2.5 – though I doubt Dave and the guys would mind.... There's a lot of good jamming with pa that Saturday!
Not a heavy jam.
Slow start into some rocking blues.
Shame about the levels - two minutes of fun jamming with some guff at the end.
Edit by tom from NINBOT; pretty damn good, actually!
Several good jams in one! Could have done with pa being louder at the end.
Blues, pa playing perfectly, me not so tight.
Blues, pa still playing perfectly and I'm getting better...
Blues, get past the stumble at the start and it's great! Picks up towards the end.
Nearly five minutes from a longer sessions. I love the sound on this.
First of a collection of edits from a really good jazzy session...
(2),
(3),
(4).
And some more from a different session...
(2).
The session is still going... but fell apart briefly.
After road crash (before fastero).
I was beating the kit up before this, with NC playing mellow. Really bad behaviour on my part. Thankfully NC decided he'd rock out with me. Cool! :)
Nice bit of jamming here, polmac I always have to give special mention to. Great sounds!
Heavier jam.
A very nice cool groove.
More rocking.
Nice piece with pece playing a great guitar line. Edited so you hear me take over from the backing track.
Slowly builds into a very funky jam. About 12mins long with some really nice playing. (And some over-playing. Life is not one long solo.) I'm maybe a touch too loud when giving it some, too.
Stumbles for about 45 seconds, then a good jam through to about a minute before the end. Left un-edited.
Takes a while to get going but it's a nice session. My timing wanders in places. Also takes a while to end - mostly due to hum, I think.
Something...
Jazz with a touch of funk.
Funk! It takes off after about 3 minutes but I don't get my level sorted till nearer the end.
Boogie! Continuation of previous but with tweety joining on lead guitar.
This is what it's all about...
Sort of bluesy jam thing. Sloppy in an almost appealing kind of way.
Very nice piece. But careful with those crashes.
A bit heavier.
Crazy eastern thing. Volume and timing dodgy. Nicely agressive, though. Squelch. Nice guitar around 8m on. Crazy singing towards the end but, hey!
This is hot!
Andy looping crazily, me trying to comp with some interest. The mix is... interesting... Wanders off... Needs editing and remixing. Oh well.
Not the greatest - I'm way too loud - but the best of a bad bunch.
nun takes a jam to places you generally dare not imagine...
You need to wait about 1m30 before this starts to work. Then it's a rocking riff. It could have done with a good bass line.
Fairly nice rocky jam. Interesting rhythm. I enter around the 2m30 mark.
A hot start to what was a good set. First of three edits. Nothing for a few weeks and then a great jam session. Ah, I was really buzzing after this! Thanks folks.
Another hot edit from this set.
A great set ends with a more varied (in style) section (well, there's more but I went for a cuppa...
And after a while, the groove returned.
Some edits, starting with some heavy drumming to complement a heavy riff.
Starts of as above but goes off in a variety of directions. A mixed bag. Stick with it for the middle bit.
And something a bit different to end this set of edits.
Very subtle playing. Very nice and mellow.
And more - but more prolonged and involved.
And still more, with my levels adjusted a bit so I can play more freely at this volume
Something different again.
And more different (after missing a 20 min session). Builds up slowly. Then has a silly ending.
Fairly groovy.
This is just the start. Two good hours jamming with AndyMc. Here's a few highlights. AndyMc builds up a few layers of loops then starts playing bass over the top.
Another bit, chopped at the start as it's "part 2" of a 33 minute jam.
Second part of another long jam... Rocks out from around 6m50.
Hard rock.
A long set. Not a patch on Saturday but this randomness is the best of Sunday.
Warming up. Pretty hot, in fact. VIP_F_S_R on lead.
This is burning. Really good fun.
Now with Zooloo on bass as well. Nice sound.
More jamming - cut from a slightly longer session that just stopped.
You get the whole of this one, even though I don't join until about 8m30 because it sounds so good.
Nice groove.
Some dub, with me joining in about 4m30 in. I get mellower as time moves on.
Sometimes you have to take the rough with the smooth.
Slow blues jam. I'd forgotten about this. Really nice. Second half picks up speed and volume.
A fun (and somewhat familiar sounding) jam.
Hard rocking, loud guitars and a lot of fun.
A singer turns up. Session goes okay until just before the end (after I've left...)
Jazz - quiet, comping.
Starts off badly but improves a lot.
Short session but nice light rock.
A good session resulting in two edits.
The second edit from the same session as above.
Saturday was a good day, in fact.
Although an edit here might have been better than the full session. I leave about half-way.
Incredibly fun to play, left us all feeling great.
Skip the first 25 minutes of this one; I tried to do an edit but for some reason it didn't work.
A heavy start with a lighter middle and a collapse at the end...
A fairly cool groove cut from a longer set.
Rather odd. Nice, though. I ching.
Conga madness hits NINJAM. This is the last 15 minutes of a 1h AutoJam recording. The session continued but didn't really live much longer.
Drums and lead get heavy.
A jazzy thing (with distortion).
A bass line.
Money for nothing, really. Trying to play 7 in 4 doesn't work. Stays a bit prog..! Worth it just for the flute.
Fairly funky and 22 minutes long.
A funky start to a 35 minute set that went down hill.
Start of set.
Premature end of set.
Some unstructured jazz thing.
More unstructured. Is it jazz? More like prog... (Edit from a 1h session.)
Another wandering jam -- must have been the weather.
Friday night down the Sub Club on Second Life (well, about 5 minutes of it...) -- 9pm on Friday. Well, if I can play keyboards... I can drum using the keyboard, I guess...
From a weekend with little to commend it, this edit isn't bad.
This is me playing keyboard sounds... 9pm on a Friday, I'm not going to be drumming...
Later on in the same set. Trimmed at the point I left. This one's really quite good.
Short and sweet.
Slow, blue and jazzy. Really nice. Winds down from about 10 mins in. Wait until around 18m for some rock'n'roll.
Hot Helio Jazz.
Weird stuff.
30 minutes in to a set and still going. The sound quality isn't great but it's starting to sound pretty together. (The bass had been noisy since the start.) Finished around 7mins in. There is a new lease of life around 14mins in. (Edits are not working on material of this era.)
Shredding. Carried over from a previous set, this gets going again after the 4m mark and keeps on till around 16m before slowly giving up. Quite a fun session. It carries on...
Longer funky jam.
Short funky jam.
Cool jazz number.
Quite a nice one, takes a little while to take off.
Slow and blue.
Weird gear.
Rather heavy session.
Funky jazz session. One of the few times I'm not playing ns_kit7, I think.
Jazzy session. Love the vibes.
Not bad - sounds wonderfully together... until it briefly stumbles. Shame about autojam's levelling. (Some kit other than ns_kit7, I think.)
Cool session but for the last couple of minutes.
Reminiscent of a certain 80s song starting with K.
Pretty cool jam session.
Nice, smooth rolling jam.
A second edit from the same session as above.
If you ignore the drums... this is pretty good!
I don't remember who was singing.
Fairly bad mix (or "I'm too loud"?) but a nice heavy jam anyway!
Sweet guitars. Stomping drums (I like to think I'm more subtle now...)
Heavy, immature but pretty together.
Short but fun.
