Neil, were you the guy who played the Martin? You had some cool stuff going on! What kind of pickup do you use on your guitar? Is it a condenser/ piezo crossover? -----Original Message----- From: Neil Goldstein [mailto:ngold@attbi.com] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 10:56 AM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: RE: Gig Report: Portland LoopFest A-Go-Go (my EDP in action) Thanks for putting this on goatman! Had a great time and enjoyed the whole show a lot (esp yours and Dave's sets). Great crowd and vibe, way beyond expectation. Brief 'subjective' report follows: This was my 1st loop performance and 1st time playing live in 7 yrs or so. I decided to limit myself to acoustic gtr and EDP, and as an afterthought, and to stereoize the EDP output, added a Vortex to the EDP output. The biggest challenge was getting comfortable with my PMC-10 patch sets and EDP IV (presets) programmed with a couple patch sets appropriate for a solo non-midi-synced set. I must say that every PMC patch set for EDP IV control re-contextualizes the EDP. The new dedicated midi commands pack a lot of possibility...In the heat of the performance I ended up doing one loop at a time and doing lots of Unrounded Multiplies, short attention span looping rather than ambient. Without syncing to a clock or rhythm, I preferred SUS Record rather than toggle, for getting tighter timing. Hitting the intended pedals in time, and not accidentally hitting the wrong one, was the name of the game. The best shoes I could find for the 'dance' were my mountain bike shoes, but still managed to hit a couple of wrong ones. I also included unintended speaker feedback, though my tastes run more to the pastoral than noise squalls. I ended every piece with one of my favorite techniques: doing shorter and shorter Unrounded Multiplies with EDP feedback just short of 127 until sound fades to silence. The EDP is so intense, and no question it is an instrument in its own right. Neil
