Thank you very much for your kind comments concerning my music. I really appreciate it! @Kris Hartung: On 3.1. - "entrance to gresham" I don´t use a slide at all. There are several cubase recorded notes of "d" by the guitar, being played backwards. Then, a Nord - Modular - "noodle", selfgenerating several d - notes is added. But I´m using a regular metal slide on "drone II" and "drone III". "Rhythm I" was done in a jam with willi kappich, a german tabla player. Here I fed my regular t.c. - g - major delay unit with some guitar sounds. Again, a nord modular self generating patch is heard in the background (it is actually a granular synthesis - adaption, as it can be found in jim clarks advanced book for nord modular users - somewhere online). When it comes to looping, I really experimented a lot with the InaGRM "shuffle" Plug - In. Here, I recorded little harmonic and rhythmic tracks with 3 - 5 overdubbed guitars. Then I fed the plug - In with that soundfile. I recorded the slider movements that worked and added other sounds to it. Equipment: Fostex D - 80, Mackie 1202, tc m 300 and lexicon mpx 100, tascam us 224, Pentium II (333 MHZ!), Strat, Yamaha DG - 20 Midi guitar and then very important: Nord Modular. Well, I sold this great instruments and bought myself an acoustic guitar: I wanna come back to the guitar. Still I´m very much interested in looping and odd meters. Generally, I - personally! not generally - do not believe in live electronic. Live I prefer improvising with bandmates (regularly, jazz - wise). I prefer jamming with others in a studio environment (with lots of techniques), but the useable structures in my work were at about 10 Percent of the Material. In traditional Improvisation, it is even more. And when composing (I lack the skills, to be honest) I believe in 100 Percent. Accidents and spontaneous inventions are interesting, but you never know, when it comes, and this is not, what an audience payed the price for (to play "hazard").

Are you using a glass slide on that song? You manage to produce some tones and a feel that I don't hear too often, not just in looping music, but in music in general...either because it is 3:36am here in the US for me, or for other reasons, your music is very calming, yet thought-mood provoking. ...just now getting to Rhythm 'n Drones....beautifully clean guitar on the first tune...almost a "jazz" tone. I'll think of your music this evening at my gig where I'll be playing the tablas over my guitar loops. I'll be inventing of some ways on the spot to lay down soundscapes so that I can set the guitar down, sit on the floor, and solo on the tablas. Would you mind telling us what sort of instruments and gear you are using? I'm surprised not to see your name at the Loopfestival Zürich. I'll be adding you to my favorite loopers list on my website.
