Guitar Improvisation EP release

Just released a new EP through CD BABY (and eventually digital  
distributors) of an extended guitar improvisation:

Deconstruction of Twilight
http://cdbaby.com/cd/rpcollier3

I used the older (no undo) BOSS RC20 looper and a sustainer guitar.

The loop is around a minute long and very downtempo Largo. The  
average space between notes is about 3 seconds. There are both  
ascending and descending components and a few hitches in tempo to  
break up the evenness of the flow.

These characteristics of the loop made it possible for me to make up  
for the lack of feedback function, undo and next loop capability.
I varied the call and response to the loop with push and pull of  
tempo and harmony, and was able to make the loop at times disappear  
by blending with the loop, absorbing it into the phrasing (lento  
arpeggios etc.), and also by obliterating the loop altogether with  
texture and/or volume.

There is only a 2 minute clip on the CD BABY page but it gives the  
complete unadorned loop along with the initial thematic response.

regards
