Every summer I direct a large ensemble of 15 people for an annual tribute to the Beatles. We have strings, brass, woodwinds, and of course guitars, keys, bass and drums. Once while playing Black Bird on my guitar, I started to loop the chord changes at the end and then I began to change the harmony slightly. I recorded it, added some vocals, sampled it and then reworked it while eventually I created something entirely new that I like to call "BirdBrainz" Please enjoy!
