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.
Press play below and enjoy!

This is too cool. And I love your photos. The colors and imaging is great. I guess photography will have to be my next class.
I’m pretty much in love with this song. My friend and I have decided that it is a great song to wake up to and an excellent way to start off the day. :)
thank you for sharing this with my ears.
Thanks Inthia! It turned out better than average than most jam nights go.
