| G. Wiz - Fender Rhodes Suitcase - STEREO |
 |
Thank you YouTube viewers for watching my videos
over 200,000 times. I sincerely appreciate each of
you.
Here's a small funky number I wrote about 20 years
ago that we used to just use as a blowing vehicle.
At that time I gigged on a Yamaha DX7 (like
everyone else who was sick of lugging a Rhodes
around). I had this interesting gizmo called a BC2
breath controller. I had programmed some patches
to actually do some complex things in response to
the modulation off this controller. In this tune I
always showcased my best patch and worked to get a
very expressive, horn-like sound when playing the
lead. I also used the pitch bend wheel extensively
to get the inflections this tune called for.
Here I don't have any breath controller gizmos, so
you get to see a bunch of ways that keyboard
players emulate that pitch bend thing every other
instrument can do but we can't.
Bass line was recorded by me on Rhodes also, just
different EQ. Drums were donated by Lot2learn and
julienned by Ronco Super Duper Looper®.
One of the most bodacious things about the Fender
Rhodes suitcase piano is the stereo tremolo. And
here you get to experience the full on stereo
love, thanks to some heavy engineering consulting
from my crew.
I think you'll appreciate the improved audio
quality of this as well. Since I get asked a
lot--this is a 1976 suitcase SeventyThree with
some special mods. I'm recording direct through a
Edirol UA-25 interface and mixing in Audacity.
There may also be some secret sauce, but mostly
this is how a well-set up Rhodes sounds.
Especially when you ar-tic-u-late.
