Today I was digging through my recording archives and came across a nice example of me running my Rhodes through a wah wah pedal with a little overdrive on it. So not being one to leave well enough alone, I sequenced the recording into a short phrase at 90 bpm.
I started by pitching a couple of the chords to create a progression, then added some delay and reverb to give it a nice cinematic ambiance. Perhaps I’ll build a track out it at some point. It reminds me of something from the soundtrack for the Fantastic Planet. By the way, the image is a photo of one of my Rhodes electric pianos. I own three of these very special instruments. Two of them I use for live performances, while the suitcase model in the photo stays put in my studio.
Nice recording!
Which Wah pedal did you use for the recording?
Cheers!
I had an old DOD wah pedal that broke while I was on tour. I ended up replacing it in New York with a Boss PW-10 V-Wah pedal which I’m pretty sure is used on this recording.
Recently I’ve cut out some seconds from your sample and pitched it – to get 3 clips in A, D and E, which served nicely as (sometimes reversed) elements for creating background atmosphere in this tune, demonstrating use of traditional chinese instruments in triphop music:
