Turandot

By onezero on February 25, 2024 11:48 pm

Another very-busy week and weekend, which still gave me a bit of time to work on this in a few late-night sessions. Three tracks of $60 Univox hollowbody in Bb F Bb F Bb C tuning, straight into the UA Volt-1, and the usual convolution reverb send + compression/eq on the stereo bus.

I'd tracked more material for this that ended up not fitting--there could have been a bit more variation, but the first several approaches to variations lost the momentum, so I ended up taking them out...and then, at the last minute, putting one back in the middle section. So it never hurts to revisit before the deadline!

The title is from (of course) the minor planet 530 Turandot.

Thank you! Yeah, that Bb is low: it's the Bb below the conventional guitar low E.

So relaxing. Very cool what you can do with just a guitar

you make that Univox sing so beautifully heart

Got a Reuss Effects Understate on the way! I've have a Repeater Fuzz, which is a great full-on germanium fuzz. The Understate is targeted on the range from "just a bit of something" through "edge of breakup" into "some saturation." I kind of wanted something that can give me control over the "clean with extra" kind of thing.

dreamy

Really vibing with that bass, it's a guitar, but I like it a lot.
