A couple questions: Are all your effects on that track VST, or are
you using some hardware as well? Was all the looping done in
Mobius?
I had to actually listent to the song again to
remember. The first sound you here are from the Lexicon PSP84 (VST
effect processor). And so is the effect on the guitar that starts in after
that intro. Ah yes...the rich pad effect is my Boss VF1...should have known. I
created a MAX/MSP patch that emulates that VF1 patch, but I haven't had time
to convert it to VST. Then later on the stuff with the high octave/delay on
the guitar is the PSP42.
I just got a Digitech EX-7 (on the
clearance rack at Guitar Center!) a couple weeks ago, and it has (among other
things) a model of the XP300 Space Station (that I love) and one of the best
sounding Wah-Wahs I've ever heard. I've been having a blast combining
those sounds with some tremolo, phase, and delays attempting to get at some of
the sounds you made on that track. Tons of fun!
Sounds like it. I haven't used wah in quite a
while...I still have my Vox wag in a box somewhere, which was always
a favorite of mine for its smoothness.

On the subject of guitar pedals, I also just got the Danelectro
Wasabi Forward/Reverse delay. I have to admit that I don't like a couple
of the functions as much as I thought I would (the tap tempo is a bit glitchy
when trying to fine-tune while playing and the switch on the back to attenuate
the pedal for use with Humbucking pickups seems to only make the output
quieter), but I did find one function to be a pleasant surprise: Unlike
my other delay pedals, when you set the pedal to infinite delay and use the
speed knob to manually change the loop length, it doesn't pitch shift.
That was actually disappointing to me until I realized that it also doesn't
lose your recorded content when you shorten the delay time, so you can go back
to your original length, and if you overshoot it, it just adds silence to the
end. Maybe there are tons of delays out there like this, but I'd never
used one, so it was revelation to me.
It's a blast to play around
with! I was demoing it for one of my guitar students and started by
looping a 3 second drone (the max delay time), and layering some
rhythmic harmonics. Then I hit the reverse button, which flipped the
whole loop backward, and layered some other rhytmic stuff. I then
slammed the speed knob to 0 to make it stutter, and then slowly pulled it back
to the original loop time.
Of course, it doesn't really work as a
looper, but it was cool enough to make my student's eyes
pop!

Thanks you, Josh. That is very kind of you. :) Nebula is one of
my favorites too....it does make me feel as if I were in a spaceship,
traveling through galaxies, etc and observing astrophysical phenomena.

link for Krispen Hartung: Fragments
I'd just like to go ahead and throw out my
recommendation for this album. Nebula, in particular, has been in fairly
heavy rotation on my iPod lately and has inspired some tricks I've been
throwing into my electric playing. Very spacey!
Per's new album is
also excellent. It inspires such creativity, that I've made it my
workday soundtrack.
Get them both!

That happened to me as well on an album
release at iTMS. I think it is when a piece is longer than ten minutes.
Greedy Apple might think that would give you too much for too little
money ;-)
BTW, what iTMS aggregator service did you go through?
I've been using CD Baby in the past and am looking into AWAL now.

Previews sound interesting. That
ambience and alien scales... scary stuff :-)
