Alesis Andromeda A6

For any interested parties, I've uploaded some (large) live MP3's from my ensemble's 
recent Euro-tour to the directory at www.joshroseman.com/tunes/poznan
These are are unexpurgated files from a fun gig in Poland, recorded straight to a laptop, 
nice and sloppy.  
I will upload more later in the week, should have some that feature bass sounds a bit 
clearer.

The music is hard to classify-  hopefully it's kind of a thoughtful fusion between jazz and 
trip-hop.  
The lineup features keyboardists Barney McAll and Peter Apfelbaum- Peter is playing 
virtuosic dubby bass lines on the Andromeda in lieu of bass guitar- I programmed some 
nice splits for him that sound like Sun Ra playing a dancehall party in Kingston.   
Barney uses a Fantom, Rhodes, Nord and a lot of tiny sound effect devices- he often 
brings his answering machine to gigs- he can also be heard playing keyboards with Kurt 
Rosenwinkel or the Groove Collective.    Anyhow, two very interesting players- there's also 
drums, guitar and I play trombone. 

I've had a very interesting time working on bass patches and playable, bread-and-butter 
vintage-sounding splits for the A6-   would be very interested in sharing if anyone else 
has been working on similar lines.   
- have been working on reverse-engineering bass sounds from my Studio Electronics 
ATC-1,   it's been an education.  In general, the A6 has been very satisfying to use as a 
monster bass machine;  really have been getting tons of bass and the envelope generator 
is amazing for bass programming.   I'm trying to generate patches that have a bit more 
midrange contour to them at this point.

all best
