Re: Some of us...

Hi Lo_oP ers....

I agree entirely, also there is a question of sound density with analog 
tape
and digital processors which needs including in the equation.

We're still doing them gigs, last was in January with Phil Miller (MIDI 
Guitar)
Steve Miller (yes, they're brothers) Grand Piano and me, as a trio. The
concert was in a 'classical' type hall with amazing focused acoustics. The
reverb setting could be termed 'medium hall' I suppose, but it did'nt sound
like a pre-set in a box.

Some thoughts on the Earthlight studio's guy who plays in the cave with an
e-bow and an acoustic twice a year... I'm so sorry I can't remember your 
name

I think being able to use an ambient environment with 'real' reverb as an
adjunct to the Music is something which has endless possibilities.... Not
only in terms of presenting the music in the best way possible. I have some
plans for the millennium to do something different (hopefully) with this
idea...  However if you play in Grand Central station, you will be 
arrested!

For those who have asked about my 1st. solo record. 'The Electric Guitar'
(nb. it maybe should have been called 'AN electric Guitar'! ^_^) 
It was recorded in 1986, but the first recording of the 'physical'  playing
techniques I use on that particular CD is on the soft HEAP CD 'A veritable
centaur' from 1982.
