Jeff Bowders Mission

Jeff Bowders: Mission

Drummer extraordinaire Jeff Bowders just released his latest rock drum album, Mission, and he and I collaborated on one song, Visions of Thingamuhjig. Visions was a very complex song to pull together, and it went through many iterations as a piano demo, then various approaches to orchestration, to the drum recording, to the guitar and bass overdubs by Justin Derrico and Philip Bynoe, respectively.

 

me: oh wow this composer has some real Ivesian mulitiplicity going on, very interesting
me 2 seconds later: oh heh I had two tabs playing audio open

It’s very much still a proof of concept. Perhaps more akin to the Newton that would eventually blossom into the iPhone.
