Just a demo track of my Polyphonic Harmonitron (PD patch) into a simple stereo regenerative delay patch. A really nice pulsating psychedelic groove develops towards the middle. Use headphones if you can! (there are a couple of clicks at the beginning from bad edits. It's just a demo track so I didn't try to make perfect).  Externals: Freeverb, and Varun Nair's incredible compressor. 

Since I was a little boy, I have always dreamed about having a machine for making interesting sounds... Thank you Miller Puckette! You have set my soul free.

"Richard Leo Johnson is a self-taught guitarist whose unorthodox acoustic style is reminiscent of the late Michael Hedges. While he is often placed in the new age camp, his sonic and rhythmic whirlwinds are often far more intense than that term implies. He claims Leo Kottke, John McLaughlin, and Pete Townshend as influences. Some will also detect strong hints of Larry Coryell, Ralph Towner, and Pat Metheny. 

Born and raised in Arkansas and residing in Georgia, Johnson was quite successful as an architectural photographer before becoming a musician. His debut recording, Fingertip Ship, was released in 1999 on Blue Note Records. Language, also on Blue Note, appeared in 2000..." – AllMusicGuide biography 

All the above is true, HOWEVER.... 

A decade before Blue Note, Richard was a touring guitarist and endorser of Taylor Guitars, performing at clinics and instrument shops all across the USA, and he released two, nearly unknown, cassette-only releases. 

This is the second of those two releases!
