After listening to yesterday’s track a couple of times, I thought it might go well with other instruments. I took all the delays and synced them to a tempo and added a fairly traditional rhythm section to it, playing a slow groove. 2005-10-24

Still exploring what can be done with a guitar and multiple delays. This one has four harmonized multitap delays going into four cycling loops with different lengths. Once again, most of the effects used are free: Harm-Z, Delayifier and Looplex. 2005-10-23

I used the same setup as yesterday, but this time, I played with my EBow and, finally, a new scale. I also dug out another old piece of gear – my SansAmp. I have the very first model, from when they were being built in the back room of Rogue Music on 30th St. in […]

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
