Day 029 / Impromptu Jam

Jeff came over for a little impromptu jam session tonight.   In the past, it has been a regular friday night thing with a small group of friends but due to the many things going on in all of our lives it’s been awhile since the last one.  
 
Tonight was surprisingly satisfying because it was my first chance to use my new contact mics in a jam situation.  Normally, I shy away from recording acoustic instruments in our jam sessions because of the hassle of hooking up headphones but with the contact mics I could pretty simply turn the tracks down a bit and get a pretty clean recording.  They sound all right considering.  
 
We recorded acoustic guitar, a little melody I punched out for my music box and a concertina.  I added canned drum beats but personalized them as best I could.   I tend to record in loops so at the end of the night it’s pretty easy to quickly arrange them into something longer.
