Re: Ted's great site



No, you are not a bozo on this bus (I get your Firesign reference) and the Rubber Bus has not stripped you of all meaning (now I refer to my own disc, hee hee!). You are a damned fine musician.
 
BTW, I know Flux was done a while ago, and you've had 3 years to forget your Vortex settings, but if you have ANY clue how you set that box for Leaving Medford (around 7:00), Cauterant Baptism (5:40, where the note morphs into a raygun), and Last Sparrow, that would give me a starting point toward creating my own sounds with my recently scored Vortex.
 
I asked Andre about the insane morphing loop on his tune "Walking Stick," but he did not remember his Vortex settings, alas...he DID say that it was done by tweezing parameters in real time, and I'm guessing that the Fractal preset was the substrate, the launching pad from which he did his mad science.

Ted, apropos of nothing, I checked out your CDBaby site, and it was a hoot!
You got some great reviews in there! I may have to add to them sometime soon.

Thanks! That'd be nice.

Reviews, ultimately, say as much about the reviewer as the reviewed. I sometimes
don't know whether to laugh or cry -- regardless of the particular review being either
positive or negative.

It's nice when folks catch my quasi-obscuritan influences. But, even when they get
'em totally wrong (along with misreading my intentions) it still gives me something
to learn from.

I'm just another dumb guitar-wielding bozo among an army of billions on this bus.
Meanwhile, I am still struggling to learn how to put on a passably consistent (but still
improvised) live show . . . and get another disc out too.

Someday.

Best regards,
