With One L
With One L Text score for a crowd-sourced drone piece. Download the score, record your parts, send them to me (I might set up a SoundCloud if there’s enough interest), and I’ll edit them all together for a big, microtonal sound wall.

My album will be available for free download here... →
I’ve been thinking for a while about how to release this, and I’ve decided on this method because I want people to hear it more than I want to try and make money, and this presents the least barriers.

I’ve made a playlist of prepared guitar recordings. For now, it’s just quick experiments, until I write some proper pieces.

Recording of my xfade “Leap Frog” live sampler. Usually I send big reverbs through it, but I like how clean guitars sound through it.

xfade sampler
added an extra two buffers to my xfade sampler so now there are four! still some things to get sorted but liking how it sounds so far. also starting to play around with some more drone based music, rather than chord progressions and field recordings.

very slowly tweaking the main effect i use for guitar work. added a reverb/crunch channel to it that gives a nice broken guitar sound.
