Bjorn Mendizabal "Ataraxia" (Planet X)

I was going through a rough time so I recorded 15 tracks as my getaway, in 3 days. Myself on camera, production, cubase handling...and no metronome, count in nor monitoring at all. They're all first (with a few exceptions) and entire takes. I couldn't get any of the MIDIs I had prepared into the mix, so my playing messes up with the original...hope you enjoy anyway!

Planet X, a seven track, with the busy left foot hi hat pattern. As my hats weren't too high in the mix I played snare ghosts at unison to make it clear. Again, the challenge was matching Virgil's strokes. This tune is awesome!

You deserve every single encouraging comment you receive for your efforts. You know better than anyone how difficult to play along with V.D. but you hung in there & did OK. I give you a great big thumbs up for having the moxie to put your skin in the game. Play that funky music, white boy.
