My kids 7&9 do piano lessons and the teacher organises concerts through the year. A couple of times a year she organises 'fun concerts' where you can play anything.
Took place on sunday, was some great parent kid duets, my favourite was a (french?) father and son. Father playing a double bass and his kid playing some thrift-shop retro organ that sounded amazing.
I played a gig with my two. Daughter playing Kalimba with contact mic attached - through a Blackhole Revervb on a 'Sigur Ros' preset.
I was providing some simple drums, fingerdrumming on the 404Mk2. Son was manning the iPad running Logic Pro with Bleas Synth on 'Boards' preset (Boards of Canada sound) it was sequenced, he was controling the cutoff/resonance.
We used the 'Session Musician' AI based feature in Logic to write a good bass guitar and piano track.We chopped up the original interview with Rickie Lee Jones that The Orb sampled for 'Little Fluffy Clouds' and dispersed that through the song with a little delay.
The kids had a lot of input into building the track with me on the iPad but it ended up sounding pretty epic.
Imagine Primal Scream (screamadelica) vs Boards of Canada vs something like Massive Attack. But on a sketchy level.Piano teacher said tonight that she had a lot of people saying what we played was awesome. :)
