Basically Schizophrenic

The is an alternate, more contemporary arrangement of “Con Chair Toe”. If you haven’t listened to that one yet, go there next. This is the heart of what Tinker Timbre is all about. This has some elements, including the timing change that GarageBand does not lend itself to very well. It was a bit of a math exercise to get that to work. There are at least a dozen variations on this theme. Hence the title and stack of heads. Maybe someday I’ll do a 15-minute version of this one. What do you think? Leave a comment.

Con Chair Toe del Garage

This is a tune that’s been in my head for about thirty years. It’s great to finally have a tool to extract and compile all the parts without old multi-track recording machines! Comparing the counterpoints between parts by rotating them through the arrangement is so cool in GarageBand. It’s kind of like swapping the blocks on a Lego model…

Shoulder to Shoulder

Ever feel like there are two different people whispering in your ears? This is a comparison of two four-chord progressions that are only one note different. One is much more harmonious than the other. But there is something sultry and colorfully seductive and about the minor progression that makes me want to keep coming back to it…
No GarageBand loops here. These are all played as straight parts except for the arpeggiator.

Love that Leslie!
