Provocation 1

Provoking a bouzouki.

Thanks to pernicious sovereign http://corporatemanifestations.com for capturing (recording/mixing/mastering) the proceedings.

The feedback, it's with me, I said it gets to stay.


[Project Brokenmusic:
Over 2 decades of playing guitar and I desperately needed to smash it to pieces, to start again. To play like a child, to rediscover sound and my instruments. Curious to see what happens when the light touches it, when I breathe on it, when you look at it. Does it oxidise? What does that sound like?]

Was this all performed live?  Tortured the instrument (in a good way)  smile And that was some nasty feedback  O.o

Intense!!  Hahahaha... oh my flatmates look right now.  I really dig the scratching you get before the string resonates - something about that sound that's always freaked me out.

Are you playing a bouzouki with a bow? Pretty interesting sound for sure.

I'm a sucker for feedback, so this is therapeutic for me. wink

Oh wow! People actually listened!? Awesome! Thanks for the encouragement guys! smile
@rdomain Yes it was all live. My bouzouki has been sulking since but she'll get over it, and learn to trust me again...heh heh heh.
@cTrix  I too love the scratching. And nice to think I'm disturbing flatmates of people I've never met.
@roboctopus Yes, bouzouki with a double bass bow.
@bleo Excellent! I hear you. I recommend you visit my good friend here, for a different (but potentially equally therapeutic) kind of feedback: http://weeklybeats.com/#/lucas darklord

so pretty and hypnotic and awesome. love eeeet.

How did I miss this stuff in the last two weeks? It's wonderful!

big_smile Shucks again. Glad you think so smile

This keeps making me laugh, haha

Its like the instruments are like STOPPP IT PLEEEEASSSSSEEEE MASTER STOP IT

Lol! Yes, it reminds me of an angry possum. That tiny bit of vocal near the beginning is me stifling a sadistic giggle.

Hmm...am off to visit pernicious sovereign this afternoon, maybe I...*looks towards bouzouki*

Best bouzouki track I've heard in a long time smile Lovely sound.
