Trio
For this month's entry you'll need to emulate a three-piece band/combo/what-have-you.
Vocals need not be counted as one of the pieces, though they can if you wish. So, for example, a trio of guitar and bass and vocals would be okay, but so would a “power trio” of drums, bass, and guitar with one or more of those players also singing. The spirit of the thing is “trio” – what three people might play together; beyond that, context and the voters will decide.

7 - Your entry should have the FILE named in a format of "yearmonth_artistname_tracktitle" (eg "1511_TheRagingDilettantes_Effortlessly.mp3"), where the artistname is the same as your KVR name. Please do not use spaces and special characters in the filename. Special considerations will be given to those that have the hosting agent change the file name.

11 - If there are strong doubts about the origin of the composition or parts of it, the participant should have the possibility to send a project file to the moderator, who could give it to a trustworthy person with the right host to examine it. Important: the participant should not be forced to do it.
12 - No resubmissions without permission from the moderator, INCLUDING for time-overage correction. Please PM me for permission.
13 - Any tracks not adhering to these guidelines will be very naughty indeed. Possibly disqualified upon peer review. And at least mocked for all to point and giggle.

Anyone voting for themselves will find ALL their votes disqualified; any entrants not voting will also be disqualified.

Everyone's Everyone Else
Everyone's Everyone Else
Drummer drums, and plays minor percussion.
Keyboardist plays piano, and holds down the bottom end with synth bass pedals (I kept the part simple to reflect this reality).
Guitar player starts on acoustic, and halfway through, switches to electric. And, uh, sings.
There are two very minor guitar overdubs, and the electric is doubled in the last verse. This was mostly for aesthetic reasons. I figure in a power-ish trio, this didn't seem too much of a transgression.
Recorded in Studio One 3
Drums: NI Studio Drummer (garage kit)
Piano: Production Voices Estate Grand LE
Synth Bass: Arturia Matrix12V
Guitar: Takamine acoustic, Strat through a Marshall combo
Voice, Percussion, and Guitars mic'd with an MXL V67G

Sonar 8.5
Acoustic Guitar: Peavey AT-200 Acoustic Model
Double Bass and percussion effects (hands of the bass player hitting the bass itself): Karoryfer Meatbass
Cello: Pocket Blakus (arco and spiccato)
Vocals: Paulette (using an Audix VX5)
Effects: Native Instruments (Solid EQ, Dynamics, RC 24) and Sonar (Multiband, EQ, etc)
Both, guitar and cello are solo, mono instruments, with stereo processing.
About the song: Well, it's been a long time since i did something online, so i thought i'd go with this idea i had a while ago. The simplicity of making a trio is really challenging. First i thought drums, bass, guitar, but.... why not something different that i've never done before? I hope you enjoy.
Cheers,

Nevertheless
2:51 / 5.11MB mp3 or 4.26MB ogg
mp3 . . . . ogg
Was going for three people improvising together. Not the cleanest recording.
Used:
Percussionist 1: metal bowls, a thing I think is an ice bucket, various homemade mallets & beaters, drum brush
Percussionist 2: metal bowls (some of them upside down), empty soup can, homemade mallets, drum brush (I think)
Percussionist 3: stuffed animal bowling pin noisemakers, empty orange juice bottle, drum (coffee can with rubber stretched over it and sort of held in place by string and pencils), pencil, coffee can, drum brush, metal bowl with water
Also: MuLab, Audacity, GHi, Stagespace, Roundtone, SPAN, MXL V63M.
