toy guitars in the chaos
By george bowles on February 4, 2018 7:47 pm
my mother recently passed away at the end of 2017. been going through her tons of stuff as she was a hoarder type. found two toy guitars: one was a cheap electric toy with one string working well but it was detuned and bassy. i did a bunch of bend with that one. the other one was a small acoustic guitar that had a lot of buzzing going on with the fret board.
I did this to remind us how glitchy life itself is and the sounds of these forgotten instruments were oddly satisfying. i haven't had much time so far this year to work on stuff so i am putting out these very spontaneous pieces. losing my mother has been devastating but i have been staying busy to cope with the loss. also going through her stuff is a bit cathartic, you find the occasional things that are either interesting or take you down memory lane.
postproduction included just an autolooper and a weird floaty delay effect. other than that these are just the two performances crossfaded together.
