5-Experiment

*This short clip is part of my Slew of Snippets series.

Here's a weird little experiment I threw together sometime in 2003. This moody, quirky, offbeat, minor-key jazz fragment features a distorted, tapped bass and an over-sized marching drum snare at a rapid 5/4 clip. An authentic Rhodes Mark II keyboard provides ghost-like chord clusters in the background. An extraterrestrial espresso shot in a dive bar!

INSTRUMENTATION: Includes Fender bass guitar, live drums with marching kit parts, and an 88-key Rhodes tossing bizarre chord balls down a lengthy bowling alley. This one has an eerie atmosphere with a touch of bouncy fusion.
