about

This is J.S. Bach's Bourrée in E minor (BWV 996), a two-part lute piece arranged here for two EWI at the start and two recorders at the end with three quite different solo interpretations in between.

With the contrapuntal bass line using lots of 8th notes, I turned to Bob Norton's expanded Band-in-a-Box styles to get fine control of the slash chords needed. So all the solo choruses were in "double time" although I have to admit I resorted to tracking more slowly in spots (all the way down to "normal time" for the 3rd solo) in order to get clean articulations in the EWI parts. I was able to play the EWI intro, the 2nd solo (distorted 'guitar'), and the recorder ending in real time although all 'wind' parts were heavily "comped" due to the complexity of chord changes and speed of the piece. The EWI patches in order of appearance are: Patchman internal #52 'Arpy' (intro duet), Bernie Kenerson's 'EWI FM BiTonal Lead' from his third Thor refill (first solo), Chris Vollstadt's 'PowerLead[fx]' (second solo) and 'Recorder[fx]' (third solo) from his Cyclone refill. The ending chorus uses soprano and tenor recorders.

I like many styles of music but most of my own productions tend towards jazz with electronic elements. I play the Akai EWI4000s electric wind instrument, ukuleles, guileles, NAF, whistle, recorders, harmonicas, and various software instruments on Windows and iOS. ... more
