Re: My All Double Bass Project



Hi Todd,

I'm happy your album came out so good - as of one can hear in the
video - and I think you're saying something really interesting too in
that video! When you're talking about how live looping took you to the
next level as a music creator. I too have experienced this
"transformation of senses" and many others as well. It is about
developing the necessary intellectual tools for working with options
in layering without the need to hear them first (as is the sampling
artist's curse). Fact is that if you can not imagine something it
doesn't exist within your creative pallet. But what happens when one
spends hours and days playing with a looper is that these new senses
starts to grow in you and after a while you may even develop your own
names for different kinds of blending certain types of layers from the
same musical instrument. Not just "narcissist orchestration" IMHO but
an amazing new field of untapped beauty within every single musical
instrument.
