Goofing around with nujazz house in the Key of A with a car turn signal tuned to a C# note.

When you are sitting at a traffic light with the turn signal on, do you start improvising music or rhythms to the turn signal beat? I do. So, I recorded a KIA Sportage turn signal and built a tune around it.

A drum beat was needed. BOCrew and Zep Hurme provided solid 130 bpm house beats upon which to build nujazz.

First 16 bars of drums were extracted from BOCrew’s Aurora Project, next twelve bars of drums were extracted from Zep Hurme’s Bring It Back and the bridge and outro drums were extracted from BOCrew’s DISCOBOL.

The turn signal is used on the intro, verse one and the outro.

Admiral Bob’s 116 bpm jazz guitar is used in part 1 of the bridge (in E minor) without altering tempo. A good feeling solo resulted.

A recent Computer Music magazine reminded the reader to use filters to create sweeping effects so I did. Used EQ frequency sweeps on a synth pad in the outro.

The piano and horn chords are stacked fourths (aka minor7add4): F#,B,E,A to G,C,F,Bb. One of my favorite sounding chords but I rarely find an opportunity to use them. Also like the three note stack 7add4 chords like G,C,F.

Listening to some jazz from the 50s and 60s, noticed a common technique of one or more instruments playing lead lines along with the solo instrument. Employing that technique in part 2 of the bridge and in the outro.
