RE: Switching instruments while looping

Hi Fabio,

 

Wow! Way back around 1999 or so I downloaded an MP3 of you playing “Fuga Y Mysterio” on Stick and EDP. I still have it and still listen to it on occasion. That is one of my favorite looped Stick recordings.

 

These days I perform with both a Grand Stick as well as an Alto Stick. I’ve worked up a small handful of looped pieces that use both instruments. That way I can organize my sets so that there is no dead air when switching from one to the other.

Subject: Switching instruments while looping

 

Hi everybody,

 

I am new to this forum!

 

For years I used my Echoplex along with a Chapman Stick, which has a wide range (5 octaves for the 12-string), and sound effects for sound variety. Lately I started experimenting with looping while switching instruments, each contributing its natural sound.

 

Please check out this video I made looping with ukulele, bass and acoustic guitar and let me know what you guys think.

 

Thanks!

Fabio
