Song Description

Il pleut. Built from appleloop acoustic guitar noodlings. Picked a bass line that reminded me of the Doors, and mixed in some other fragments. I spent quite some time composing details for parts of the bass line. It repeats twice, second time doubled by the piano. I meant the rhodes to reinforce the "rider on the storm" effect. Mixed in some actual rain and thunder recordings.

I was transported back to UCL...wandering as a student listening to
Michael Hedges and Vega. This is sweet as a nut. Lovely harmonics just
past half way. Aaaah.... I hear the rain ====(-:-)

hey thanks, i'm glad i reached someone with this.

i've become very aware that GB loops are verboten around here. and a lot of my
early stuff is strongly loop-based... like this track. still, i think it has meaning
anyway. i'm glad you liked it!

also, i'm starting to find that it doesn't take much to disguise a loop. just start
with a software loop and change most of notes around. there you go!

of course, just recording your own loops, or using the pencil tool, will do too!

Yeah, I use drum loops but you can really play with them say by getting a
clavinola to play a detailed drum loop and duplicating with a double Bass
adjusting for harmony. Don't fear loops!! Jus kep em unfamilr 2 da publeek.

yup - and that *is* meaningful - it casts something into a new form - which i
think is art. so it's no deceitful at all..
