This one is made of lots of looping and multitap delays put into a beautiful acoustic space. Still guitar-based, and still the same scale I’ve playing around with for days. Almost all of the effects I’m using are freeware – some of them are quite amazing. The C3 multiband compressor from Slim Slow Slider and […]

Upon review, I found that the tracks from the 16th through the 20th had some problems related to encoding them as MP3s, so I’ve remixed them so they work better in that format. By the way, if you use iTunes, I strongly recommend that you go into “Preferences” and under the “Playback” settings, turn the […]

I’m using yesterday’s setup with the MIDI guitar, but I’ve changed the synth patch to something a bit more simple. I also had to tweak the harmonizers a bit to get them better in tune with what I’m playing. This setup is fun to play with – I feel like I’ve got a new toy. […]

I’ve taken the processes of the last few days in a new direction. I’m using my 20 year old MIDI guitar controller, a Casio DG-20, instead of a real guitar. This allows me to play with new sounds. It also allows more control over the harmonizers. The now track the notes that the guitar is […]

I’ve kept the same seup and added a multitap delay at the input. This time, I’m using a pick instead of an EBow. It’s sort of a blues in E. 2005-10-18

I really enjoyed playing with the setup from yesterday, so here’s another guitar improvisation in a similar vein. 2005-10-17

A guitar improvisation. It’s pretty simple, my Strat and EBow played into a couple of harmonized delays and placed in Gasverket thanks to Rayverb. 2005-10-16

This has the same instrumentation as yesterday with a few tweaks. The compositional approach is similar to yesterday’s as well, but I’m trying to be more melodic, sparser, but a little more structured. I’m still not quite where I want to be with this type of music, but I’m getting closer. I’ve been playing around […]

This is just an old-fashioned, non-synched looping piece with almost no effects, just a little flanging and a little reverb. Nothing being done here that couldn’t have been done in the 70’s at one thousand times the price. 2005-10-14

I hate to go back on a promise, but I took yesterday’s configuration and ran it through a ring modulator. Not only that, but I even interfered with the process by tweaking the settings of the ring modulator throughout the course of the track. I had fun doing it too – I just don’t know […]
