Yay, managed to finish in time

Had a bit of trouble finding inspiration in the picture but decided to just put some words to it and work from there.
[i]"The upside becomes the downside. Turn the world around"[/i]
As a result the track is a bit too serious for the picture... but still, I´m quite pleased with it!
All instruments played by yours truly, multitracked in cubase

Thanks! The working instrument bit remains to be seen

Looking good!

Allright then, full frontal Ive got some more coats and wet-sanding to do still but its getting there

So finishing this has been slow. I started, messed up, sanded back down, let it sit for a few months, started over and this is where im at now. The finish will be far from perfect but as long as i dont look too closely at it i should be good...

What a facelift!

I like a lot of his stuff but my fav period of his would be the mwandishi period... Or the funky period with Mike clark/Paul Jackson...

Yes!
Between the ages of 10-16 I listened pretty much exclusively to hip hop, then I started getting into turntablism, after that sampling which led to the discovery of soul, jazz, funk and other great stuff. When I bought my first bass at the age of 19 my main objective was to use it for beat making.

Shabaka & the ancestors

Started out with an idea of doing a cover of Toxic in 7/8 time and this is where I ended up.
https://soundcloud.com/organicpulseensemble/toxic

A multitude of percussion tracks
Drumkit (snare, ride, hihat,kick, each recorded seperately as I record in my apartment, i.e. no space for a mounted kit)
Horns (two alto saxes, one flute and one baritone sax)
Fretless bass
Keyboard drone from my trusty old casio
Vocals, I wanted it to sound like the ensemble was chanting the vocals which is a bit tricky when youre the only one in your ensemble. I sang the lyrics in three different voices and I managed to convince my better half to record a track aswell... 'tis what it is

Excellent!

This one is quite weird but if you stick around til about1.30, the funk will hit you

Any more progress with this, Bastav?

Well, not much. Ive been moving house and this coupled with the fact i dont have a dedicated workspace has led to a forced building hiatus. Also i started another project, so ive now got three builds to distract me from more important things

OK - the 'almost finished' shots. Please forgive the self-indulgence
[/quote]

You are forgiven, more please

That is looking spectacular!

Looking good! Cant wait to see what the colour looks like with some finish

Looks real good

Here's the fingerboard. It's now partially slotted with veneer strips glued in with some sawdust. I managed to slighly mess up a few of the slots due to lack of proper preparations/slotting jig. This being fretless, I'm not really worried about function so much as form. We'll see what it looks like with the binding in place... If Im not happy with it I'll start over on a new board.
