Taproot Ax Line
These tracks all dance across the terrain of a set of common themes, stretched out across a couple of years of erratic, spontaneous recording. They are extrapolations. It's possible that subconsciously these textures and ways of approaching the instrument were quasi-intentionally and…

VERWAND Prolog and KAOS CYCLONICS
‘At bottom the esthetic phenomenon is simple; one need only have the ability to see continually a living play and to live perpetually surrounded by hosts of spirits, and one is a poet; one need only feel the drive to alter oneself (sich selbst zu verwandeln) and to speak out of alien bodies and...

L'arc Daemon Time[less]
Space demon, with a hint of muted earthly nostalgia, the fragment from Timeless that earworms incessantly. Kind of a NGD: First test with Boden7, with new Fluence Modern pickups installed. These replaced the SD Pegasus/Sentient pair, which were very great pups, but not quite right for me.…

Lark-Horn Frippery
Guitar loop recorded 2014, remix sketch August 2017. Signal path and guitar info is lost- was recorded into LoopyHD, and was probably Parker Fly, but amp setup on iPad unknown.
-
When My Trumpet Sounds
Loud, elegiac loop recorded 2014, remix sketch August 2017. Remixed using open back headphones on a flight from Lisbon to EWR, so the structure and mix is imprecise, shall we say! Signal path and guitar info is lost- was recorded into LoopyHD, and was probably Parker Fly, but amp setup on iPad...

Mill - Ambient Morning
Test mixdown of an ambient soundscape looped live in early AM July 15, 2017, before a seminar I gave on Post Planetary Design and Cosmopolitics, at the 'Arts Letters Numbers' workshop. The soundscape was only indirectly related to the lecture/seminar and was more a meditation to prepare for the...

Guild Navigator: Widmanstatten

Midnite Scramble
Very hasty meditation on Round Midnite, exploring the new Strandberg Boden7. Filled with errors and bad decisions on the mix, and I can't really play jazz, but there it is. Signal path is the Boden with Sentient/Pegasus, into BIAS FX [amp model a very tweaked, phat, Tweed] into Loopy. July 2017.

Schizo-Harmonic Layers
Fourth or fifth attempt to remix a very strange loop session. Episodic and definitely schizo, possibly to the point of collapse. June 2017. Looped live. Signal path: Strat, into Positive Grid BIAS FX, into LOOPY. Exported as a 'reperformance/remix' directly out of Loopy. Purely improvisatory…

Muddy Joy
Caveat Audiens! Weird attempt at muddy distortion joy. Looped live. Signal path: Strat, into Positive Grid BIAS FX, into LOOPY. Use of a fantastic delay/mod effect brought unexpected clicks and pops into the tracks. I have nto decided if they're acceptable or dreadful. Exported as a...

The Sentimental Lark's Tongue, Ascending
A very loose meditation on two eponymously related pieces of music. Looped live June 2017. Signal path: Strat, into Positive Grid BIAS FX, into LOOPY. Exported as a 'reperformance/remix' directly out of Loopy. This is a very improvisatory export mix and there is no guarantee that it reflects…

Le Deluge, C'est Ici

Dark
*VERY* raw loop. Gain problems with this one, so apologies. Recorded late 2013. Parker Fly direct into Native Instruments Guitar Rig. Probably an AC30 mod with plenty of gain. There may be octave doubling with glitches, which are perfectly acceptable. This loop is part of the long term remix...
-
Fog
Raw loop. Recorded late 2013. Parker Fly direct into Native Instruments Guitar Rig. Can't recall exact amp, but pretty sure it was an AC30 mod with plenty of gain. This loop is part of the long term remix project. I was thinking of Ingram Marshall's 'Fog Tropes' when I recorded this, but hadn't...

Long Sigh
Raw, unedited looping session. Morning of August 12 2013. Parker Fly into Guitar Rig running on Macbook.
