Kids are funny. This one sat at my workstation, threw on my headphones and went to town with my mic. He liked the pitch correction. It made his voice sound “ro-booty.”  I just made a clip long enough for a ringtone for my phone. What a goofball!

I just got a new mic, and I needed to try it out.

This Session is “Ritual Dance” from the movie August Rush, which was played by Kaki King, who’s style I am pretty much obsessed with. Between her and Andy McKee, I have my work cut out for me in my life pursuit of general awesomeness. These players are amazing, and I kinda view them like the beatboxing flute guy: taking it to an unprecedented new level. Lots of house parties have a guitar sitting around. There’s always somebody who can pick it up and play some Jack Johnson tune, “More Than Words” or “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn”. I’d rather not be that guy. There aren’t many at parties who can touch play or combine percussive and melodic phrasing, so I’ll take that on. [..]
