Ambient Guitar Improvisation
Переглядів 3294 місяці тому
Based on Frippertronics, I'm playing an improvised solo on the Charvel SoCal through a Tube Screamer, Fuzz Face and Octave Pedal. Loads of compression to get sustained tones. A little Univibe in there too. Going though a Mesa amp and cab sim in the Line 6 HX Stomp. Reverb and Delay added in Ableton. I've got some tape loops of myself playing chords in the background. Actually played out of sync...

    I heard a lot of Shoegaze music over the years, before it was named as such, and was always inspired by the sounds and moods. I suppose I started to hone in on Shoegaze as a genre with more specificity after hearing the Gathering's cover of "When the Sun Hits." I thought Anneke wrote it, but when I looked into the lyrics I learned it was originally by Slowdive. I first heard the term Shoegaze from watching Rick Beato's channel. I don't know any bands you didn't list, but some of your descriptions of the goth-tinged stuff reminded me of Switchblade Symphony's Serpentine Gallery album, which I haven't heard in years. I don't think it's Shoegaze, but I'm going to check it out tonight and bask in nostalgia haha. I can't wait to delve into the albums in your list! Great episode man.

    I spent my teens and my early 20s living in between Boston and NYC, and I got to experience shoegaze becoming a thing through American shoegaze bands. We didn't get the title of shoegaze applied to it until about 93. Before then, we just thought noise music was getting to be popular, and some bands in the UK had caught on to it. Life with without the internet was very different. I always introduce people to shoegaze, starting with one song, "House of Pancakes" by Swirlies. It has all of the elements that make shoegaze shoegaze, and you can dance to it. It tends to go well.

    • @chrisegonmusic
      @chrisegonmusic 3 дні тому

      Swirlies are amongst the heroes I’d say. I feel like I’ve only really used the term ‘shoegaze’ in maybe the last ten years. I also feel like the meaning has shifted slightly with the dawn of internet culture. Thanks so much for the comment! Really great to hear people’s experiences 🎸

  • @MATTTHEGREETER
    @MATTTHEGREETER 4 дні тому

    The only fuzz I own is the ROSS fuzz. I was invited to a really weird jam out in a trailer in the woods a couple years ago, a one-time thing. I played my 4-string bass (strung BEAD) through a Kustom tuck & roll that lived in the trailer. Massive setup with 2 me-sized speaker cabs all wrapped in the Kustom naugahyde. The tone coming out of that amp was absolutely massive, but really plush. It felt like if I laid the cabs down I could just sink into the tone and float there. So cool. When I heard that ROSS was back in business and had put the fuzz circuit from the Kustom into pedal form I bought one instantly. I really dig it. Wish I had that Kustom setup though! Hey, I'm probably over-selling the tone, but it really had an impact on me that night.

    You seem to be doing this on the cheep. You could use a Microcosm, glitches and modulations for days. Maybe a looper, and step up your delay to at least a line 6 DL-4 mark II. Presets. Tap tempo and a looper, and a dual delay. And a Bit crusher would be nice, like the data corruptor for weird solos and monster riffs.

    Oh, and I think a RAT is a good choice to go with Acapulco Gold. And can also do everything from Shoegaze to full doom. Acapulco Gold & Rat can get you into full bore MBV mode. Or with the also great and cheap EHX Octavix even Sunn O))) Life Pedal territory. I really like the TC Magus Pro, because it's cheap, small and I think better than the newer standard Proco RAT because of that. And also because you get three voicings, standard, FAT, & Turbo. I especially like the latter. And the FAT RAT mode, and Plumes, are both good for grinding Kim Gordon style bass tone too. Similar story with using the volume to adjust the level, then the RAT can do everything from Boost, to Distortion to near Fuzz. It's a very versatile and playable pedal. Above the TC, and the EHX Green Russian reissue, I really like the Way Huge Green Pickle, it can get really unhinged if you want to. But it's very tuneable and controllable too.

      @@compucorder64 yeah! I’ve actually got a drone metal video where I combine the Acapulco, Woolley Mammoth and Joyo Splinter (Fat Rat clone). Was a while ago and I didn’t do that good a job of it haha. Pyroclasts by Sunn O))) massively inspired it. Definitely going to do a doom pedalboard video and maybe drone. Also thinking about doing a high gain combo type thing. A few ideas anyway haha.

      @@chrisegonmusic Ah, I missed that. I only just subscribed. A Doom, & Drone pedalboard video would be very cool. I'm puzzling out those sounds now. With a Guild Polara, and a P90 Gibson Les Paul Special, into an Orange Rocker 30. Settled on the Acapulco Gold, TC Magus Pro RAT & Way Huge Green Pickle. For Drone, though more coming from the synth side, I love my Soma Cosmos, Chase Bliss Mood mk.II, OBNE Dark Star, Meris Polymoon & Meris Mercury X. OBNE Sunlight would be cool too, as well as their Beam Splitter. That Infiniti pedal too.

    Your descriptions are actually spot on. It DOES sound like a Wizard in a cave, an Electric Wizard. And that description of a Granular Delay is pretty spot on laymans description of granular processing. If you ever get a chance to read it, Curtis Rhodes Microsound book gives great coverage and it's a good book to skim through, at least parts of.

    Interesting combination :) one question though, if your signal goes from the slicer into the compressor I would assume the change in volume from the slicer interferes with the compressor, since this would try to level out the volume changes.

      @@MaikeruSumisu cheers! Yeah that’s interesting and a great question! I think that mostly applies to a sine wave style tremolo, which the Slicer can do but I use it as more of a stutter, on/off. Maybe there’s something happening there but nothing that I’ve noticed too much. I like compression after a fading delay as there’s definitely some interaction there. I don’t think I’ll ever fully understand compression. My relationship with it continues to get slightly better throughout the years 🎸

      @@chrisegonmusic yes, true, if it's only on/off then there is no signal left to compress/enhance. I love tremolo (or similar modulation effects) after fuzz or reverb to really bring all that texture alive. Regarding compression, I understand it from a theoretical point of view, but somehow my ears never got there 😅 for me, I always used it as a sound-shaping tool
