Here is a set of variations on possibly the most annoying tune ever notated, “Nonesuch,” from John Playford’s 1651 The English Dancing Master. It’s arranged here for virtual guitar, bass and drums.1. For the morbidly curious, the guitar is the AAS Strum GS-2 and the bass the String Studio VS-2. The drums are Logic’s Ultrabeat, augmented with percussion from the VSCO2 orchestra. As always, I’m not completely happy with this, but I want to move on to fresh disasters.

Kinda retro-cool. Way, way retro cool.
You worked out the variations? Pretty cool, too. Before, just commenting on the sound/tune.
Thank you.
Yes, I’m afraid that, aside from the tune itself (and the military drum pattern starting at about 4:15), this is all my own fault.
Actually, it’s a pretty cool surf arrangement!
Thank you.
