Pictures of your setup

Do you set up the 4-track with a feedback loop, just use it as a mixer, or use it to play tapes? or all three?

man I love those tascams

Do you set up the 4-track with a feedback loop, just use it as a mixer, or use it to play tapes? or all three?

for a while i experimented with setting up different types of controlled feedback within and between the two 4-tracks, but i found this to be a crutch, so i removed the possibility to easily create feedback. there are still ways to achieve feedback with the setup (mics, internal buses, handheld recorders), but i try to focus more on interesting source material and arrangement. thus, i spend a lot of time these days perusing thrift stores for quirky tapes.

Here are those Tascams in action:


best musical performance I've been witness to in years

I don't have a picture, but am very happy with what I'm doing on my 'system'. I play solo and to myself only - which is fine (although I would love to play with multiple people in the future). I really like the results I'm getting from my Korg KP3, input-to-output, plus occasional sampling using the mic-in and a Peavey mic, played through the phones-out into cardboard speakers (from muji).

The FX-pedals on the left are not my ones.
The green box is an acoustic-laptop made by Tore. H. Boe
The crosses on the keys indicates that their functions are dead.

This setup was shoot at the last "Unser Industrie"-Festival in Leipzig/Germany

Yes - I do noise!

My 'instrument'. I don't think I've posted this before.

Contact mic placement:


Depending on how it's used, the string is fully playable with a nice whammy effect possible if you bend the staff itself. At high gains, the entire staff body becomes playable.

At high gains, the entire staff body becomes playable.

If it's plugged into the right amp will it part the Red Sea?

...hmm.. maybe pair it with something that has supernatural high gain, like this:

@gaendaal: love that!

I built a time machine today:



It only goes back to 1996...





I suppose that's not too interesting to look at for most... All the same, I recently fell in love with my beat-up DD-3 again. I've been able to get lots of great manual looping and stuttering/cut-up effects in various ways with it, and I discovered a couple of new tricks as well... FUN FOR DAYS (literally).

That pedal doesn't get enough luuuuv... I just wish I had the skills and hardware necessary to mod it so it's more user-friendly.

[johnson]

It's a great pedal - the first one I ever had.

how would one do that?
i just bought a bunch of cheap behringer pedals and am thinking about circuit bending them or something similar - what type of pedal should i go for?
