http://youtu.be/hofzD8y2tT4 This is a strange co-incidence, I have been letting my LD posts stack up month on month with only the occational dip in, but today I really felt the urge...to find this!!! WONDERFUL. It perfectly encapsulates my internal own thought process. When I began live looping I was using prely the manipuation of a guitar to achieve me results, then I bought a guitar synth (and adjusted my "all organic " ethos to become "all created with a guitar"...then i found that simply tapping on my guitar was proving a little weak for a drum pattern compared with the synth...so I bought a handsonic and again moved ethos to "all played in live by hand"... this methodology fit really well and has formed the backbone of my ethos ever since...public performances where what the view hears is entirely dictated by the notes/knobs/frets that i choose ot use or not use. However, as my music has progressed I have allowed myself to shift fluidly between inputting my notes live into an audio looper (echoplexes) and inputting the same notes and chords into MIDI loopers ( electribes and commend stations etc ) . Now once again to affirm, EVERYTHING I DO IS LIVE. I allow myself a single hi hat click track to establish tempo...but even this I am slowly dismissing as a write new patches because I have found ways around that. Basically all I have is the patches...the core sound elements that I play, no differant to a guitarist choosing what tone to set his amp on or which effects pedal to turn on......... But somehow I don't know if I am a "looper" any more, or if this is the right forum for me? Now I know I am maybe an over analytical, over sensitive person....indeed in my many active years here, I remember many loops frmo such iluminaries as mr La Fosse with Drum machine beats alongside loops, but I still wasnt sure if I was qualified to be here any more. so anyway, here included is a recent performance. every week at least once a week I do a complete improvisation with whatever tools I can be bothered to thrw in my car, thats it , no big plan..i do it , i record it, i put it on my channel, I wait for the next time to play. So I have chosen one where there s SOME audio looping (the hang style patch I created on my hand sonic and play through the Echoplex. so yer, thanks for listening / reading , let me know if I am still a live looper or not. thanks Phill MyOneManBand |
