Lo fi performance with EWI on "brass" settings

[Mindlink]

Hi trumpet lovers and friends!

I'm a jazz trumpet player from Norway and I started making my own instrumental hip hop beats a couple of years ago. I also started working a lot with the Akai EWI 5000.

Last month, I did a live set (originally on Facebook)with EWI (electronic wind instrument) + SP404 sampler as a fundraiser to support Doctors Without Borders in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

30 minutes of unreleased original jazzy beats and improvisations! I connected the EWI via MIDI to my Microkorg XL. The beats are made on SP404, Digitakt and Pocket operators.

Please have a listen and let me know what you think! CC welcome

Thanks!

Hi again

I made a short video on Youtube demonstrating some EWI improv:

The EWI is amazing because you can adjust finger settings, so that the lower buttons are the same as lower octave on a trumpet. Anyone else doing this?

My left forefinger is doing the half octave and my right thumb is doing the octaves on the wheels on the backside!
