Post The Sky Over Scherzer
An original tune performed on Grand Stick and loops.

This was one of the earliest looped tunes I wrote back around 2001(ish).

The title came from the Art building at Eastern Michigan University named Scherzer Hall. The building was quite old, historic, and there was an observatory on top that my roommate had keys to. We would frequently spend many hours up there over night and I would sit on the roof playing guitar and writing tunes. This particular tune, in its early stages, was very reminiscent of those tunes and so it was titled "The Sky Over Scherzer".

I recall hearing this out at Interlochen! Sounds as good here as it did when you Hit it on concert night this last July Glenn.

It is an Echoplex Digital Pro. Still my favorite looping device. Mine is a white Gibson (post-Oberheim) before they started selling the black EDP+. I had two for a while and ran them in sync but ended up selling one.

Fantastic piece Glenn. 8-)

I had the exact same looper until a few years ago. I wish I hadn't sold it now. :(
