guitar, loopers, things to hit guitars with

I've been sitting on this album for a few years now, a few people have heard it, I even kinda released it once and then pulled it back, but it's mostly just sat and waited for me to come around to it.  I realized today I couldn't remember what I was holding on to it for. Here it is. I hope you enjoy it.  It's about forgetting what matters, and then remembering again.

serious exit waltz

frantic, like it should be

not so easy anymore (it is)

not so easy anymore (wash it away)

a scraped knee and a hug

joyous, like it should be

campy entrance waltz

for: guitar, free bells, framed bells, toy keyboard, & lemon/black/matte tea

half asleep, tea brewing in the other room

thinking of writing / releasing an album of 40 tracks, one minute run time each, with one forty-minute long field recording spanning, unedited the full 40 tracks… thoughts?

Oneminute

evening of guitar & cassette loop explorations.  delay, volume pedal, and guitar.

enjoy.  this will be the last of my soundcloud posts for the year as i'm out of free minutes on there, and as much as i enjoy getting comments and 'hearts' on there, can't justify spending money on something i can do for free on my on site, sans the social ego stroking that s.c. offers.

bustle in the next room, quiet here

first go with the tenori-on ipad app.  all sounds recorded and processed with that.

flowing (tenori-on test)

there's been road work going on right in front of our house for the past three days....  this morning there were very rhythmic sounds coming from the new holland tractor as it was tearing the road up directly at the end of our driveway.  that was accompanied by the also very rhythmic sounds of megan preparing breakfast for the family in the kitchen, putting dishes away, the clothes drier spinning... morning routine.

layered with guitar, sampled bells processed with tenori-on for ipad, and acoustic drums

road work + morning routine

not your memory (or mine either)

noodling around with the op-1 i picked up yesterday.  acoustic guitar sampled with op-1 and all other sounds from op-1 synths

op-1 in the park

started this the day we moved into our new house in california.  can't believe it's been almost two months and i'm just around to finishing it.  enjoy.

basics: it inverts the output destination of two mono sources – great for little bursts of sound to different effect chains
 
more than basics:
normal: input 1 -> output 1 / input 2 -> output 2
half press: input 1 -> output 1 / input 2 kill switch
full press: input 1 -> output 2 / input 2 -> output 1

pedal test

testing the new pedals / setup - no post processing, recorded in realtime with no overdubs

all pedals, no post processing.
