Stratus - Billy Cobham

Damn it! if this is the starting point..... ;) ;) ;)

@LocProg Sandro: btw, good effort keeping that bass line up for so long!

@Tony Hearn: Trust me, it is really hard to do!!! (and I'm not entirely satisfied, sometimes I feel like it's out of time)

I did exactly the same, just a test track to see what the mix would sound like (not for publishing). I'm thinking that we can wait till we have takers for the guitar and drums part and see if improving our tracks ends-up being worth it?.

@pcderic: I like it so much! Looking forward to the next tracks!!!! As soon as I fix my problems with my hardware (PC and sound card), I think I'll redo my track. There are some very obvious errors that I would like to eliminate.

@LocProg Sandro: Thanks. Maybe it's better to see if we'll have drums and guitar? Before we record other tracks, we'd need a tight drums ending. Plus, if there's no guitar, there should be other fills. I'm also not sure if it's even possible to end-up with an end result we'll all be happy with. Thought?

@pcderic: Yes, you're right.

@LocProg Sandro: BTW, I'm really glad we brought in tonysurf70. He has a knack for playing the Rhodes E.P. and finding the fancy chords. So if we get a lead guitar, my gut feel tells me he'll know when to add his own fills at the right times. On my end, I had to take note of specific time markers to start playing. Not an easy song, even we don't expect an exact reproduction...

Absolutely not (and it's not even in the spirit of the song). Indeed, I am sure that improvisation (respecting the theme) is the soul of Stratus. I really like your video!!! I can't wait to release this collab... As for the guitar player well... I think we'll have to wait a bit before anyone feels up to it...

I'm listening to it now. Interesting!

Great!!!

@LocProg Sandro: I'll be super challenged to find the chords to piano. Wonder if @tonysurf70 might be interested in the E.P. part (since he did your other Cobham one and he did fantastically)!

@pcderic: I'll send him a message...
