With a bit more time on my hands, uploading clips as I find time to make more home recording blips.
Here's a demo of me noodling around with effects and Bossanova forms. There's a rhythmic noise sound that was created by one part of the effects that I left in this demo because I thought it sounded neat. Kind of a wintry filter on the Bossa sound after the blizzard we had here.
#GreatAlbums1960s – The #AstrudGilberto Album (1965). Backed by Antonio Carlos Jobim’s bossa nova guitar and songwriting, Gilberto’s solo debut extends the sunny villa vibe of the previous year’s smash, “The Girl from Ipanema,” with a set of tunes sung in both English and Brazilian Portuguese. “Once I Loved,” “How Insensitive” and “Dindi” reveal a quiet soulfulness within Astrud’s languid style and limited range, making this LP a velvety delight by a unique vocalist. #GreatJazzAlbums#BossaNova
#GreatAlbums1960s - #StanGetz & João Gilberto – Getz/ Gilberto (1964). Saxophonist Stan Getz and Brazilian guitarist Joao Gilberto added minimalist piano by Antonio Carlos Jobim and guest vocals by Astrud Gilberto on this LP, codifying the bossa nova style for all time. Grammy-winner “The Girl from Ipanema” and smooth stunner “Corcovado” defined 60s cool in a Mad Men universe. The craze caught on and even Sinatra caught the bossa-nova bug.
I have much angst today, but I also have bossa nova on the radio. It is hard to maintain angsty while listening to bossa nova. It is just so fucking chill...
