Improvisation #2

By an0va on April 13, 2014 10:56 pm

Guh, just did this now with only minutes to spare. I'm tryna build a new guitar rig with lots of swells, loops, and stutters. Found a way to really make an0va shows special and something really different. ideally this'll be a system where I can do an0va chiptune stuff or my ambient hiphop beats stuff on the fly. I can guarantee it'll be wayyyyy more than just playing guitar on top of gameboy once I get everything situated omgggg so stoked yikes

everything you hear is guitar only

Seriously... beautiful.... track.

That's a mad improvisation! smile

Very nice indeed.  Did you do this in one performance or were there edits or layers done after?  What are you basing your live guitar system around?

thanks guys! smile

Thanks! this is all one single stereo track, no post-processing. I actually completely forgot to master it, too >_<

I made a pad sound on my guitar and faded it in with the volume knob and started to loop a fragment of it for the base texture

For the purposes of this demonstration the rig was based around Guitar Rig 5, Ableton Live and/or Mainstage plus a bunch of plugins. Ideally this will be hardware based instead of computer based (and I have all the needed components archived on paper), but for now at least I can get some ideas down I think. It certainly can pull off a live show, but the idea of using a computer onstage is terrifying to me due to heat, drink spillage, and sweaty people

really like the sounds and textures you create with the guitar. Inspirational

Very beautiful, and a nice performance.

Yes, laptop dependence live is more nerve-racking than hardware.  I've been pretty fortunate for most part over the years tho.  Hopefully that continues!
