[A6] Bass Andromeda- live files

[Josh Roseman]

(just posted this over at the Yahoo group)

For any interested parties, I've uploaded some (large) live MP3's from a
recent Euro-tour to the directory at www.joshroseman.com/tunes/poznan
These are are unexpurgated files from a show in Poland, recorded straight to a laptop, 
nice and sloppy.  
I will upload more later in the week, should have some that feature bass sounds a bit 
clearer.

The music is hard to classify-  hopefully it's some kind of a working fusion between jazz 
and trip-hop.  
The lineup features keyboardists Barney McAll and Peter Apfelbaum. Peter is playing 
very active dubby bass lines on the Andromeda in lieu of bass guitar.  He's got an amazing 
left hand and I set up some splits for him that sound like Sun Ra playing a dancehall party 
in Kingston.   
  Barney uses a Fantom, Rhodes, Nord and a lot of tiny sound effect devices- he often 
brings his glockenspiel and  answering machine to gigs. he can also be heard playing 
keyboards with Kurt Rosenwinkel or the Groove Collective.    Anyhow, two very interesting 
players- there's also drums, guitar and I play trombone. 

I've had an interesting time working on bass patches and playable, bread-and-butter 
vintage-sounding splits for the A6-   would be very interested in sharing if anyone else 
has been working on similar lines, feel free to drop me a line.  
 In general, the A6 has been very satisfying to use as a monster bass machine;  really have 
been getting tons of bass and the envelope generator is amazing for bass programming.   
I'm trying to generate patches that have a bit more midrange contour to them at this 
point, been trying to reverse-engineer patches on my ATC-1 towards this end.

Peace now
