Drones in D minor
And finally I'm back in the friendly confines of Make Noise Studios! Today's work was creating two different guitar drones, each in D minor. The first piece consisted of five layers and the second was constructed of six layers. I am very pleased with the results and delighted to be working on Breathe!
For the technical stuff, today's guitar of choice was the 2001 American Deluxe Strat straight into the POD X3 Pro with a JC-120 model, one of my favorites. I recorded into Ableton Live running SooperLooper controlled by a MIDI Moose and Boss FV-500L via a MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller. I used the SoundToys EchoBoy and Crystallizer delays in line and recorded with the effects. The signal chain has an instance of EchoBoy set as a short delay, Crystallizer as a reverse echo, and another instance of Echoboy with a longer delay.
Given the time challenges and constraints under which I've found myself this year I don't want to plan too far ahead. My intention is to sustain focus on Breathe in whatever time chunks I can manage. The music is bubbling up and demanding to get out!
I sent some audio tracks to Lee Fletcher yesterday. We'll keep the objective under wraps for the time being, more as it develops.
Stefan and I are going to see Elvis Costello this evening! We're both looking forward to the concert.
Now playing on vinyl: Robert Fripp, Exposure
