Hi Girls! It's the forum sweetheart here! Posting some of my live looping Stick tracks. As suggested, all pieces are performed live with no filthy overdubs using my 10 string rosewood and Ableton Live.

No harpsichordy or lute flavoured drivel here, either...just honest to goodness ambient based stuff in which it's quite obvious that I've crawled up Brian Eno and Robert Fripp's arses and can't get out.

Check my sig for the link!

Oh, and....enjoy!

pretty cool.

well done. I'm still tryin to understand both ambient and looping, but you do a good job.

if you put a killer lute solo over the top i'd get it.

Nice.


BTW, I watched your MFA clip. Great stuff. Kinda funky. Nice distortion solo at the end (or was that a MIDI synth?). You certainly got the hand independence down.

But you gotta get more edgy. Next time you should stand up, spit vehemently into the audience, declare your love of Anarchy, and play "I Wanna Be Sedated" at 300bps.

Oh, and not to stroke your ego too much, the NHIC performance clips were excellent. We need more of that around here.

to be honest a small ego is why i've rarely posted videos. I'm not one to put up a video to say "look what i can do". I prefer to wait for something concrete, something more than eye candy.

I ain't Metheny or Holdsworth, I don't pretnd to be, and I don't need anyone tellin me I'm great when I have sooooooooo much to learn.

When I say I love some of Greg's music I mean it. It's not fluff it's truth.

I have the feeling you're the same way.

I've gotta say i was really disappointed with your recent rants. You have some good points.

Not everyone will agree on music, we need different points of view.

It's a shame you have burned your bridges (or so it seems).

I can't offer forgiveness because I wasn't the target of your attacks, and you haven't asked for it.

It just makes me sad. And of course I love Emmett.

Brett

What kind of Looper do you use ?
Oh, Ableton Live i guess...(i own an Echoplex).

My favourite is Stickient part 5, it sounds like real-time synthesis generation.

Interesting stuff - #2 and #5 are very Frippish...I love his soundscapes....

Keep it coming...

Cheers

Hello Sweetheart.

Now I quite liked some of that. I will have to listen to it again - damn your bleeding fingers.

I think I will have to patent "Harpsichordy."

My personal opinion is that this thread should just be about Scott's music - the other stuff can stay in the other thread and not distract from Stickient © discourse.

I'm not into soundscapes, but they sound good.

Congratulations, Daniel.

Exciting pieces, Zebra! I personally think it can often be hard to stay away from playing too much melody and tonal stuff, and performing with a looper helps you to keep up that minimal attitude! BTW, a cool thing I tried the other day was to put a looper on the bass side output to "freeze" chords while playing whatever coloring on the melody side. But generally I bought the Stick to sort of get away from looping as a method to orchestrate on-the-fly ) But when hearing your stuff I think I will loop a little with my Stick anyway.... Made a quick Stick looping impro the other day, not too far from the vibe in your stuff: http://www.box.net/shared/9d0rulm3ue

DUDE!

That was AWESOME! Part 5 sounds like something Trent Reznor would do. I kept waiting for some heavy drums and creepy vocals to come in. VERY unique compared to many other stickist. Keep it up.




..... Damn that was awesome.....
