High quality version, with much-improved graphics and sound, exists at:

A musical collaboration I was invited to participate in by the marvellous BCurious2, in which we take turns in improvising a layer of music on top of what was played in the previous video. In this first round, I'm on drums and midi-guitar. Over to BCurious2 for round 2!

Really nice... I'm no musician, but I'm learning my way around Garage Band (while you cringe, no doubt)

[TheraminTrees]

Hey Garageband is fantastic — are you having fun? You might've noticed it in the line up of applications in this video —at around 0:42. Especially great for slicing and dicing sound files. You think you'll upload anything? Be great to hear your stuff!

[fehquig]

Yep! I definitely noticed it... I have uploaded a few vids in the past couple of weeks that included some of my Garage Band music... I'm only still just scratching the surface, but will probably get much more involved as time goes on...

[TheraminTrees]

Fantastic — hey, which ones included your music? Thank you for introducing me to Van der Graaf G by the way — very interesting, especially on headphones: they pan in unusual ways, like lead vocal distinctly left .... I hope you'll jam with us some day, when you get the free time for it.

"Don't Forget The Tickets To Xel-Ha," "Driving Through Duncan," "Traffic Circle," "At The Rocking Horse Pub With James, Cindy, and Andy," and, "Camping7 Lizard Lake Revisited Reloaded" all contain the stuff I made with Garage Band so far... I took the easiest route and used the setting with "magic" in it... I should get better with it when I overcome my

"Fear Of New Things" and try something more creative than that :)

As for jamming, Let me learn a bit more first :)

I've had a look through these — some good grooves! ;8) I'm glad you're having fun with it, and flexing your musical creativity. By the way, there's a video on TheJamCommunity channel bearing your name .... ;8)

fehquig: The Musical... Nooooooooo!!!! LOL

I will have to check that out tonight while in the taxi and waiting for a call...

[TheraminTrees]

Thanks Shan! I've gotta say, I know the other video's had an amazing reception in the last couple of days — and thank you for the finger-crossedness of your wishes! — but this collaboration, for all its niche-ness, has been the biggest creative turn-on. I've decided 2009 is a year for organising fun, stretching collabs! Maybe we'll do one sometime!

[TheraminTrees]

Hey Ray — good to hear from you. Hope you're well! Yes, Logic Express is a dream toy! ;8)

I need to hire a musician to play background music like this in my videos. I keep running out of good royalty-free stuff! :) SO nice.
