Yeah-really 'modern'.It's jazz, man!
Actually, I was creating a new mode. The Com-mode.( it sounded like
)
Usually, I'm purty good about following the form of a song. That night, I was somewhere else. I had no idea I was so far off 'til I heard the recording. NBD*. We ain't 'zackly makin' music history here as a friend of mine would say.

Speaking of interesting changes (and, other things not quite right), this is one of my stream of unconsciousness noodles that I recorded a few years ago. Usually, I do these when I can't sleep at night, so I pass the time (some say, waste the time) doing these. This is, literally, improvised, I hit Record and just go!
This was recorded with my 4004L SPC (see photo, below) through my Strymon Flint to a Radial ProD2 into my Marantz PMD661 recorder. I played this fingerstyle, soloing the bridge pickup.
I have noted that the built-in (in-built, depending on where you're from) TB player cuts off the recording, so download the file (if you dare) to hear the complete "piece".

Obviously(time elapsed) didn't download the whole thing(intentionally getting semi-smashed), but I'm hearing touches of 'Malaguena' in there. Nice playing.
I'm self taught, bass-wise, so I mostly just lay down a solid bottom for other players to have fun on*-and I'm quite happy doing that. Jaco's memory is safe.
*Except on "Black Orpheus" apparently

Here's another one that you'll all either think that I am a genius or that I am just a mad old bassist who can't sleep at night (or, I forgot that I have already posted this). 
This should be downloaded to hear the complete "work" as it is almost four minutes long.
Same recording setup, but playing the fretless Martin Keith Elfin 5 fingerstyle. TI Jazz Flats strings.

Fun to play with. Have a couple of Moog apps as well.

Did, but not now. Owing to the fair trade winds, whispers of a mutiny, and a sea monster or three, I'm marooned in The States TFN. So here working
oh dang coffee's brewed hold on
here working to optimize what timelines I can
I googled TFN and there are lots of choices. Total Frontal Nudity?

I see the sunrise every day. There’s something to be said about getting dressed in the dark. You can physically live in one location and mentally reside wherever your heart takes you.

They were all free for a while recently as a celebration of Robert Moog's birthday, I grabbed most of them.
If you fall off on that tune it's real obvious, not that I have ever done that mind you.
