Continued reflections on life in Tokyo after 9 weeks of self-quarantine and officially 1 month of official State of Emergency. The announcement that this will extend that for another month, at least, has just been delivered. Being inside is hellish. Being inside is bliss.
This ep continues the exploration of a specific time and space, recorded in one shot in the middle of the night in April in a house in Shibuya, Tokyo while cancellations, quarantines and panic buying of supplies has become normal in the city as the Coronavirus COVID-19 worked it's way into the population, not just here but around the world. A single guitar looped and blooped, with reverb on top of reverb and compounding delays. The tracks start off sweet and simple, and slowly deteriorate into unrecognizable chaos, just like human society.

This ep is an exploration of a specific time and space, recorded in one shot one afternoon in February in a house in Shibuya, Tokyo while cancellations, quarantines and panic buying of supplies was slowly spreading across the city as the Coronavirus COVID-19 worked it's way into the population. A single guitar looped and blooped, with reverb on top of reverb and compounding delays. The tracks start off sweet and simple, and slowly deteriorate into unrecognizable chaos, just like human society.

10 minutes or so of guitar through a bunch of Strymon and Chase Bliss pedals, with looping duties being managed by Mood and Blooper. Video of the recording in process on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFhBcB0UTcE
This is a little further development on an idea I've been playing with. Recorded live with no post editing.
Buchla Music Easel & Make Noise shared system + Eventide Space.
A little afternoon experiment fusing the Buchla Music Easel and the Make Noise Shared System. Both running through Eventide Space & Timefactor.
Experiment with any post processing and voice sample. I took a track primarily driven by loops through the Eventide Space & Timefactor. A little bit of other delay and distortion pedal work going on too. Main sounds generated by a Mini & Micro Brute sequenced via SQ-1, with a little TR-8 beats and some JMT Synth drone and noise through the Mini Brute's filter. Then messed with the tempo and pitch a bit with Audacity and then put a spoken track along with it. I did a quick search for public domain spoken word tracks and the Jonestown death recording was the very first thing Google gave me so I ran with it. The results are the longest track I've ever made but maybe it's interesting?
Hopped up on cold meds and playing with the gear. For this I've for 3 JMT noise synths being filtered by the Minibrute with help from the Microbrute. TR-8 providing drum track all running through effects pedals Boss DD-5, TL2 Distortion, Eventide Timefactor + Space with several mixers along the way. I didn't use TR-8's sidechain on this though I'm thinking it might have been nice. My sinuses are blowing up and I can't sleep.
