My work is contructed on a custom midi controller , Korg ESX, ER, and EMU MP7 along with a host of other tweak gear...its all unplanned and live in realtime, and i dont use a laptop / mac setup, its all hardware. my channel is here, http://www.youtube.com/phillwilson if you are at a loose end and fancy a look. I totally know what you mean about the difficultys in working within this paradigm, but i am always learning and always evolving in terms of finding new ways to keep extending the possibilities of this style of looping . One of the main reasons I moved to this style of looping was that i was looking for a third way between the "static or < shaped building loop method" as favoured by most beginner loopers including myself , and the "fade out old stuff whilst fading in new stuff" morphic looping as favoured my many ambient artists... I wanted , as was always my end game even over 12 years ago when i started on this journey, was to be a self sufficiant band...not a novelty or a solo artist but someone who could access the same pallette as a live electronic band. i'm not saying i am even that close to that yet, but i know every day I am growing in terms of what I CAN do , and i feel that midi lets me break free of the "once its in, its in " dynamic...i can keep each plate spinning in its own midi track and then at any given point, come back to that single plate and give it a new momentum, change its notes or beat, mute it or drop it back in...its a very powerful way of working...the nice part about the road i have taken to get hear is i am used to working within limitations ( i started with just a RC-20) so there is very little i wont try ( except pre-recorded..that just breaks my own rules) so if i need a longer piece i play it on the guitar or guitar synth, if its an 8 par phrase is might be looped on the kaossilator one time or looped in the command station next...its avery free way of working. anyways, i have ran out of steam and rather lost my thread...again sorry for the re-post if you guys got my earlier one re affirming my purpose within the group....but yer, thanks for listening. phill myonemanband |
