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 […]

I used two feedback machines triggered by the the same piano note. Then I convolved both the left and right outputs of the two feedback machines and fed that back into the feedback machines. I then ran that into a resonating multitap delay and then through another multitap delay with analog tape modeling. I stuck […]

Lather, rinse, repeat. 2005-10-11

Same setup as yesterday, but I’ve tweaked all the processors and put the whole mix into the cistern. 2005-10-10
