Re: Pseudo Bass lines

If using a looper that allows quantized substituting and speed
shifting that can be used create a bassline in the looper, out of
playing in the normal non-bass register. Here is such a live looping
improvisation I did with a flute. You can clearly hear how the first
loop is created (beat-boxing), how it is then speed shifted up an
octave and into double-speed. The second loop is then created, on a
parallel track, by two quick licks through a sixteenth note grid
dynamic mute processing and finally speed shifted down an octave to
become the bass line.

I started developing these live looping techniques on the EDP, fiddled
around with on on laptop with Augustus Loop hosted in Live until
finally finding the best looping tool in Mobius on laptop. The Line6
DL4 is a nice stompbox looper that allows a bit of this.
