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.
Rhodes Wah Wah
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:
