Original piece

Here's a track I recorded last year as a contribution to a friends 35th Anniversary compilatiom cd for his record label Big Rock Records.
This is the first attempt at recording one of my more recent piano based compositions for a guitar based band. It was a bit of a rush job getting it done in time and a couple of friends were kind enough to assist with bass and drums.
All done in DP, of course. I provided the guys with a MIDI based sketch with guide guitar. Drums and bass were recorded in separate sessions playing along with the MIDI sketch (with relevant instrument turned off in the MIDI of course) one pass, no editing. The MIDI sketch and guide was then disabled and the rhodes and guitar parts were recorded against the drum and bass parts, also one pass no edits. I used DP pitch to create a MIDI track from the lead guitar, edited out some notes and used that MIDI to trigger a sax and also a cello in Kontakt, which was mixed as ghosting tone behind the lead guitar.
