Description
My entry begins with a 20 second intro using the dreaded 80’s Rock Guitar 01 loop in it’s original untweaked glory matched with a handful of suitable Apple Loops to create a “straight from the box” piece of GB collage.
What comes next is the result of mindless and tedious cutting and pasting. The bed that fades in is the original original loop cut into the smallest bits possible. Each of it’s eight beats was divided into 32 equal sections using the timeline division tool. Then each bit was selected and copied four times. I watched the entire film “The Professional” while doing this on my laptop – it was a lot like knitting. The result was that the loop consisted of 1024 fractal like sections. I then created three tracks of this loop and tweaked two for variety and depth of texture with eq and such. The third track was run through the Automatic Filter effect on 16th Pulse and tweaked to create the slightly funky stacatto synth hits you hear.
The rest is Drums on Demand loops, two live bass tracks, and two live electric guitar tracks using the Line 6 Toneport for effect. In the end I added a subtle track of synth to the middle section played on an Oxygen8 midi controller.
The things we do for love.
Thanks Rik.

like knitting, only much more manly. this is so stoney and psychedelic. i love the guitar tone you added to it, and the fact that the riff is unrecognizable is perfect for me. great job; now on to the rest.
