Disquiet Junto 0747 And a One
The Junto project this week is to "Record the first third of a trio."
This is a quick recording on my modified Nukulele electric guitar, where I mostly just jam on the D string.
Ableton Live seems to think it's around 117 BPM, which is where I usually land.
There are two outputs, each going through an Alexander effect pedal.
A Wav file and a Mov file are available.
I explain in the video below.
Reverb that goes places
I've been excited in the past by reverb models that offer recreations of famous spaces, like topline recording studios.
Then a friend invited me to listen to her performance while lying on the floor with my eyes closed.
She began a drone and my sense of the environment shifted.
I forgot where I was as the illusion of floating in a 'no space' pushed back the walls with a never-ending note.
Since then I've had similar experiences with classical Indian music and pondered the sense of spirituality that follows from losing sense of the self.
Another pickup experiment
This is just a test.
Disquiet Junto 0745 Double Down
The Junto this week is to "Do something you do too much even more."
I'm often noodling away on a guitar and sometimes recording these unedited performances to publish.
So my Junto recording this week has a recording within a recording with the Chase Bliss Habit pedal looping back on earlier parts.
This is my Nukuele guitar with four strings and a bass pickup under the D, so that part of the performance is also doubled with the second output going to Ottobit.
Anyway, I talked about this guitar earlier...
Naviarhaiku639 – nobody home
I made a few recordings, but this one using a guitar tuned BEBE worked best.
Nukulele
The idea was to add a pickup for bass, then I decided to use the DADA tuning that I've been enjoying.
Anyway, aside from the comments comparing Frankenstein and the effects of meth (but surprisingly no one proposing it's what the monster would look like on meth, or if Dr Frankenstein took drugs?), I anticipated someone would tell me to grow up and stop shit-posting for giggles.
However, I didn't expect it would be Facebook posing the question whether I should have messed with one of the most beloved guitar designs.
He is risen!
The Easter long weekend isn't over yet and the project has completed, aside from curing the liquid nails.
I had a set of Artist branded single coils from a better guitar that went with the brand names on the headstocks, as well as new split pickups for bass.
When gluing the bodies together I became concerned about the space between the necks, which brought the mahogany garden stakes next to me into focus.
The stake through the heart of the guitar monster is evocative, so I wiped back the black paint along the seam.
Easter long weeeekend
