As a matter of fact I just recently started to check out his music (after being compared to him by some Norwegian musicians at a recent festival I was playing) and I have not had a chance to by the records yet, just downloaded some songs from the net. But I don't hear much looping in there. A lot interesting use of beat matched delay and filtering, though. I'm thinking about calling him up for an interview, If I can get the guitar mag here to print it, and then I'll post any eventual rig info to the list. Aarsets music is really nice! I can't understand that I never got to check him out better after all this years hearing him playing with Nils Petter Molvaer. Anyway, here's a little gear talk I found on the net: ------------------------------------ "Carina: Your guitar-style is unique - how would you describe it yourself? How dependent is what you play on the effects and the special sound you use? What is the piece of equipment you wouldn't want to work without? Einvind: My guitar-style - it is like a mixture of rock and improvised music ... - Also I am listening to other instruments, not only guitarplayers - that can be very helpful, too. I am very into sounds - so maybe I am also quite influenced by keyboardplayers. Then, to be compared to Miles Davis, maybe "Bitches Brew" is rather strange - also very flattering. Although Miles has been a big influence on me I wouldnīt dare to compare myself to him. Guitarists that influenced me are Terje Rypdal - like most of the other northern guitarists of my generation - David Thorn and of course Jimi Hendrix. The effects and the special sounds are part of my instrument, because I am working with some other things I use all the time. When you look at me play, it can seem pretty strange, because sometimes I am not really playing the guitar - just turning knobs. But I donīt think about it so much, I just do it - because I have worked so long with these effects that it is sort of intuitive, what I am doing. Which piece of equipment I wouldnīt want to be without? - Thatīs the WahWah-Pedal, my Volume-Pedal and the Digital Delay, the DD5" All the best Per Boysen --- http://www.boysen.se http://www.looproom.com
