about

daft prog (stafford/hamilton)

being part one of three of “the april suite”

duration: 3:47

tempo: 90 bpm

record date: 20130418

instruments:

1 KICK1
2 SNARE9
3 CRSHCYM1
4 HHTAMB
5 ELEBASS1
6 FUZZGTR2
7 SITAR1
8 ORGAN

as the title suggests, this variation deals with the wholly progressive heart of “not daft at all”, the beating prog heart of the piece. the tempo remains set at 90 bpm, the instrumentation is identical, but now, focussed on a single theme, rather than three themes as appear in the original track (“not daft at all”).

at 1:20, I introduce a new bass line, my mini-homage, perhaps, to john wetton’s long, extended bass solo in the “winding-up” section of the king crimson classic “starless” heard on the “red” album, this riff resembles that one slightly, and I add in drums and percussion as the piece builds in a slightly similar way.

these additions keep this particular variant truly within the bounds of “progressive rock”, and I feel that this track is an absolute success in terms of my intention – to take a strong theme from “not daft at all”, and build it out into a totally “prog” variation – what a wonderful experience!
