KISS My Scratch

February 13, 2009

My very very good friend and longtime musical collaborator The Keyboard Master recently sent me the following from his blog:

I personally regard my first recording sessions as the greatest ever!
They contained the greatest solos, the keyboards were the loudest thing in the mix and why play a cmajor 7 if a diminished flattened 9th was available?!
They were great for ME, but not for anyone else.
The first principle of playing on record is KISS.

  • Keep
  • It
  • Simple
  • Stupid

The same goes for scratching! Don’t crowd the space with a million click flares and thousand finger crab uzi stabs! It’s easy to cover up your mistakes with fast scratches, but how good can you make a simple baby or 1 click flare sound?

Send me your videos of simple funky scratching and if they “cut” it they will appear for all to see.
