A remake of a track from round about 2008 / 2009 written with David Nicholls or Amber Dave.  Its from the sessions that spawned two tracks this one and Hey Now Sister.  
This one as the title suggests was quite dominated by Dave playing the guitar with an ebow, obviously inspired by R.E.M. and Ebow the letter.  
My version always managed to get a good groove going on the original. David even said he liked it at the time anyway spin forward into 2025. I’ve kept that groove, trimmed the whole track down a bit. 
The original didn’t have singing, but did have a recording of a hypnosis session that I’d had that year.  I’d  cut and pasted bits of the session into into the track. I’ve only kept one bit of those soothing words in this remake - right at the end, but I have added some actual singing vocals.

Take Your Ebow Off The Table

A minimal Ebow-and-bass drone in E minor, built around a 12-note melody that dissolves one note per repetition.
Recorded during a lyrical Ebow session, using long sustained tones and slow melodic reduction.
A small ambient/minimalist experiment on top of a deep E drone.

Legato Ebow Redux (disquiet0728)

Linear A

I wrote this as a loving homage to my favorite trans port star, Sarina Valentina. I'd ruin my life for her.

Sarina

This is a song about leaving Hawaii. I hope never to step foot on any US territory again.

Never Going Back

In improvised ambient piece performed on my Elrick 6 string bass using an ebow.

Disquiet Junto 0739 invited us to consider the sympathetic resonance of vibrating strings.

I needed something with very resonant strings, so I reached for a guitar that I've never recorded before, a really nice Alvarez orchestra acoustic that I traded for last year. I recorded a few (okay, a lot of) layers of ebow, each track featuring a single note pattern played on an open string (with one cheat). I ran everything through a few pedals in various configurations: a Halo stereo delay, Walrus ARP-87 delay, Julia chorus, and Slo reverb. After about 6 layers of stacked and staggered ebow, I recorded a pass with plucked harmonics to add a rhythmic element without introducing any other instruments. I wanted the whole thing to be vibrating, analog strings.

I noticed when I listened to the pluck track in isolation, that I could hear the rest of the song playing in the background. The acoustic was picking up the sound from the studio monitors! How cool is that,

So I muted the plucks and recorded a fresh track of the playback recorded by holding the acoustic up directly in front of one of the monitors. I thought that circled back to the requirements neatly. I mixed the resonating strings back in with the other tracks, applied some stock Logic reverbs, and reported back here.

Best enjoyed with headphones.

Barbed Wire Telephones (disquiet0739)

Disquiet Junto prompt 0741 asked us to conjure the sounds of bells and buzzing wires. I have a great lo-fi church bell sample that I captured from a 1930s radio show on the Internet Archive, so I decided to build the piece around that. Both the deep drone and the repeating ringing figure are manipulations of that sample. I added some synthetic bells as well, including from Logic's bizarro FM/wavetable hybrid ES2. To round things out, I reached for the St Vincent electric guitar and my trusty ebow to add a few layers of singing wires.

The title comes from a Wikipedia article about the Bell Époque.

Hey, I’m Bimba Nimba, a storm in armor, bringing chaos, laughs, and high-voltage energy to every game I touch. On my gaming channel, you’ll catch me diving headfirst into wild firefights, tactical plays, and the kind of moments that make you shout “no way!” Whether I’m shredding enemies or just goofing off with the squad, it’s all about having a blast.

But gaming’s just one part of the ride. I also make original music; dark, heavy, and cinematic. Think thunderous riffs, haunting lyrics, and the kind of sound that sticks with you. Whether I’m on the battlefield or behind a mic, I’m here to shake things up.

30+ years of writing music.  now back to lots of hardware to complement the soft synths.  And of course, the compulsion to add the kitchen sink, fridge and oven is still there!

http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.

I create original electronic, postpunk, and experiential music from my studio in Chicago. The Hard Times described my work as "creepy, haunted, but also a little bit uplifting." Prolific.

Composer, photographer, solo bassist, and cat lover.
