Advice from a long time ago: No matter what, always press ‘record’.

Quick improv with a guitar and updated SC3 code. Trying to get back into the habit again, as they say. All sounds were created live, one instrument, no edits, no bullshit. (hint: headphones…?)

This is meant to be a hero’s welcome. Guitar+Echoes=Fanfare!

In honor of a friend’s recent achievement, here’s an old piece we made. There are bits of raw audio created with guitar, edited with SC3, and some live guitars I mixed WAY down deep for our amusement. This piece made it onto some mix cassettes that were sold at a few 1st Thurdsay’s a year or so ago.
Another of these historical pieces to be made available soon…

I don’t particularly mean the snow outside, but that is also true.

I kind of went all out with this one: three separate loops built from basic guitar chords/notes, some live electric piano (broken) melodies, and a sample that I mildly mangled up into a CoH-style back-beat. Hold onto yr socks, I know.

I created/processed everything with SC3 and mixed it all live with the same toy.

this just needs to be said, i guess. (there’s a moment at which we take a break)

. . .

two somewhat similar melodies looped and processed together (pun intended), live with my now infamous SC3 toy. maybe the question is simply: where does one end and the other begin…

built on a single synth note processed and manipulated live using SC3.

i think i jumped on a table at some point during the recording, and i might have blamed it all on my grade school teachers while i was at it.
