A New Take on an Old Tune
Just a quick post to share the newly updated version of one of my early tunes, Scaramouche! As mentioned, I’ve been working with my friends at New York Brass to provide “live record” brass and wind orchestrations/recordings for each of my tunes, and we’re almost finished – just one more after this.
I gave them quite a bit of creative license on this one because I was still learning how to use a MIDI wind-controller back when I wrote and recorded this tune; as usual they didn’t disappoint. For comparison, you can listen to the original version still loaded in the Player Widget above; I won’t be replacing it until we finish the last tune and send them out for mastering.
Separate note, turns out Danny Flam (from New York Brass) is visiting Southern California on business this week so we get the pleasure of meeting in person! This is an amazing new world we live in where so much can be done “virtually”… but when the opportunity presents itself, face-to-face is always preferred.

Hi Adrian,
Great work you and NewYorkBrass did on this song. I like the piano sound, which samples did you use? Maybe you could post every detail related to this song (piano samples used, how did recorded guitar, mixing, etc)?
Thanks for sharing your creation with us :)
Regards,
JD

Thanks JD – and always nice to hear from you and Portugal!
That’s a great suggestion on your part – I have one more tune that I need to remix with NewYorkBrass tracks so when I get that posted, I will take your suggestion on board and list out the “ingredients”.
All the best,
Adrian
