Awesome! Big%20smileIn my "dreaming" I've always wanted to learn the bassoon parts from Gryphon, I always thought it'd be cool. However, I'm realistically a drummer, keyboardist, band founder/leader, and composer who wants to learn other instruments but hasn't started learning others yet. Tongue

I'm realistically a bassoon player who has too much time. I have yet to buy a Krumhorn though.


Nothing wrong with that. Big%20smileWink

And you need to buy a Krumhorn. I would love to see one of those in person. LOL

I know, I'm a music extremist/nerd, but that's why I'm on this site, isn't it? Tongue

Have fun. You may be able to recognize it as around 2:04 from Opening Move by Gryphon.
YES!! That is awesome and SO RIO. LOLLOLLOLLOLOnce you get a mic or a better way to record, I'd love to hear some Gryphon recorded. That's pretty cool. TongueBig%20smile

Thanks. I'm also playing on a crappy bassoon at the moment. Soon, I shall rule the world with my odd dying sounds!


Haha, the only better thing than a bassoon ruling the world would be a drumkit, but I may be biased. LOLWink

How much of Gryphon can you play on bassoon? I always absolutely loved the bassoon and Krumhorns sounds in that band, I'm actually listening to them now; I had to after hearing your "interpretation". Tongue

LOLLOLLOLDang. But I'd assume you would need an actual microphone; the built-in recording device of your laptop must be awful.


I definitely need a mic. I wouldn't want to make the bassoon sound like a weapon.
You definitely should. I'd say you should be able to find a fairly good one for not too much money. I'd love to hear some of your stuff; I'm a bassoon fanatic. EmbarrassedClapOh, and you should upload some of your "crazy dying" bassoon anyway, it might make good substance for an awesome RIO-ish album. LOL

Now how do I upload these 26 seconds of torture?
Well, as long as it's already in a readable/uploadable format, go to www.rapidshare.comYou should be able to upload your sample onto there so others can download it.

I had exactly the same problem, I'm afraid. I kept thinking: "Lindsay WHO?" and as I'm not at home, I haven't got the CD with me...Anyway, she must have played bassoon on Henry Cow albums as well...
 
She was a key member of Henry Cow from their second album onwards - she's particularly prominent on Unrest, Concerts and Western Culture (for which she composed the whole of side 2). She was also on the first Art Bears album as a guest musician and was the principal composer in News from Babel (sort of Art Bears part 2, with Chris Cutler as lyricist/drummer). There were also several solo albums, and she plays on Egg's final album as well.
 
For more prog with bassoon, try Univers Zero - Michel Berckmans played on their first three albums and on everything since they reformed a few years ago.
 
And as a final recommendation, the excellent Belrussian chamber prog ensemble Rational Diet use bassoon a lot as well.
'Like so many of you
I've got my doubts about how much to contribute
to the already rich among us...'

Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom

I LOVE unusual intruments in prog. That´s one of the reasons I´m so attracked to Avant garde in the first place!

Alamaailman Vasarat´s double cello double wind instruments line up always comes to mind when I think of unusual instruments
