Hi there,
It's my understanding that Bobby uses up to 4 loops at a time, running at different lengths. He can then feed any of the four with new material as he sees fit. It sounds to me like they are all set at less than 100% feedback so things are always fading away to be replaced by new material and I'm sure he can change the feedback rate on the fly. Each time the loops come around they are at different places in relation to each other, hence the evolvingness................ I've seen him do the soundscape thing a few times (starting way back when with the two Revoxes) I've tried to analyze what he's doing but not too far in to the performance I see the futility of that and engage "active listening". Close my eyes and experience. Oops, getting a little off track - you're going to need at least a couple of loops going at the same time to have everything shifting against each other and therefore not just coming back around each time the same ie; in the same sync, only fading out and with new layers being added. The Boss DD-20 is very hip for doing two layers of different lengths against each other. You can set it up, for example, with a 23 second loop and an 18 second loop, both set to fade out slowly, then switch back and forth and add layers to each one, one at a time. It comes from the factory so that switching loops goes from 1 to five and back around again erasing the third to last loop recorded each time you switch to another loop, however, you can get it to switch just between two and niether of them gets erased as you go back and forth. Many a late nite hour spent in this endeavor at my place. Good for putting off the nieghbors if not the immediate family too!
Good luck with your search!
Oh and by the way, I got no idea what your buzz or hum or whatever might be. Perhaps describe it a little more. Does it build with the loop? 60 cycle just adding to itself over and over?

Subject: delays and Fripps`soundscape

Does anyone know how to get close to Fripps` soundscape by using the delay. I understand its importent to use the expression-pedal on the feedback-controll. What about mix regarding the direct and delay-sound ? And I am having problems with unwanted (hum) sounds ! Any thoughts ?Rune
