The finished blues trio from a zine that builds a 12-bar blues one instrument at a time. Two choruses: the first with held organ chords, the second with a quick change (A D A A), organ stabs on the shuffle and soft held pads underneath, then a final hit on A. Drums, a walking bass (Bass + Plucked) and a homemade Hammond organ with a Leslie swirl, arranged in ATMOSYNTH's Arranger. 96 BPM.
Stage 6 of a 12-bar blues built one instrument at a time. The whole trio from stage 5, now arranged into the full twelve-bar blues: three lines of four bars (A A A A · D D A A · E D A E) with a walking bass, organ chords and a turnaround that rolls into the next chorus. Each line is a pattern; the Arranger plays them in order. 96 BPM.
Stage 5 of a 12-bar blues built one instrument at a time. The organ from stage 4 through a homemade Leslie (a spinning speaker): a Tremolo pulses the volume, a Chorus adds shimmer, and a Pan moved by an LFO swirls it left and right. Best on headphones. 96 BPM.
Stage 4 of a 12-bar blues built one instrument at a time. Drums and walking bass from stage 3, plus an organ built from three sine waves, the note and two higher octaves, mixed like a Hammond’s drawbars. Chords A, D, A, E, voiced just above the bass. 96 BPM.
Stage 3 of a 12-bar blues built one instrument at a time. The drums from stage 2, plus a walking bass: one note per beat, stepping through the chords A, D, A, E. Two instruments layered: a deep Bass for body and a soft Plucked for the line. 96 BPM.
Stage 2 of a 12-bar blues built one instrument at a time. A drum kit made from scratch: a sine-wave kick with a quick pitch drop, a snare from a burst of noise, and bright hi-hat ticks with a light shuffle. 96 BPM.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star as a small synth-strings arrangement: a swelling melody over a low bass, in a big hall.
