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.com

You should be able to upload your sample onto there so others can download it.

Have fun. You may be able to recognize it as around 2:04 in Opening Move by Gryphon.

Once 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

I guess I could figure out anything from Gryphon with a little bit of time and "interpreting."

Since it's the summer, I believe I have a lot of time, aside from college.

Awesome! Big%20smile

In 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

Krumhorns cost over $1500. Hmmm... I don't exactly have that much to spend right now.

To reiterate what I wrote on a similar thread earlier this year, checkout the jazz rock fusion of bassoonist Paul Hanson on his first album released earlier this year, Frolic In The Land Of Plenty (Abstract Logix Records) - Paul Hanson has done plenty of sessions for other fusionists:

David Thomas (Pere Ubu frontman) toured in the 80s backed by Chris Cutler on drums and Lindsay Cooper on bassoon (and other wind instruments). There was a live album called Winter Comes Home, but it has never been reissued on CD - I think I still have a vinyl copy in storage somewhere, and a few are still floating around but probably very over priced. An expanded version of the line up (with Tony Maimone on bass) made the studio album More Places Forever, and that's currently available as part of the excellent Monster box set. The sound is post punk meets RIO, and if you've ever wondered what a band comprising bassoon, drums and bizarre vocaks would sound like your curiosity will be well and truly satisfied.

Ween have composed a song for triangle. they've also used the mandolin, theremin, and scotchguard in their recordings. And i don't even know what sort of instruments they assembled on "Mourning Glory".

Yet they still won't add them to the archives. :(

Yes, unusual instruments add to prog. I love to hear a dobro (S. Wilson et al.) or banjo (Hackett et al.) or tuba (Nina Hagen Band et al.) or accordian (Harmonium et al.) or saw or Chapman Stick (Tony L. et al.) or dulcimer or pan flute (Los Jaivas et al.) or mandolin (Mike Oldfield et al.) or lute (Jan Akkerman et al.) or recorder or cello or oboe (Gabe et al.) or yodel (Thijs v.L.et al.) or bass pedal (Mike R. et al.) or church organ (Wakeman et al.) or harp (Jon Anderson et al.) or toy piano (Robert Smith et al.) or ... or ... or ... "enossifications" (Brian Eno et al.) or ....

When the time comes, I wanna start a progressive folk metal with melodeath influences, and have a bagpiper. And a violinist.
A windstorm dropped a bird from the sky
It fell to the ground and it's wings broke and died
But when the time got by, back to sky it flied cause the wings healed in time and the bird was I-Wintersun
