So here's how it went.
In between working on a new Helios Creed album, a soundtrack, an EP, another vast project with Helios and Nik Turner I managed to pull this one out of thin air.
It started with 47 minutes of "The Box" (which is modular little bits suitcase synth I built a little while back to experiment with "additive Synthesis". Oscillators literally crashing into each other to create very distinct possibiities.
Then comes the Korg Analog Drum machine, which most definitely evolves Very Well over time, and it gives this recording just the rhythmic flair I was looking for, without using any "pre sampled" beats.
The combination of these two elements is then solidified with the, once again, fender precision bass. Nuff said about that.
All of these things so far were recorded as one complete performance.
So was the next element, the Fender Stratocaster with whammy bar gets a real workout and I kept 90 percent of the performance in tact.
Let me say a bit about the guitar sound:
Boss GL100 preamp plugged into Alesis 3630 compressor (also Thank You Bob Madsen), into Line 6 Dl4 delay ( Bob had nothing to do with That.), then into the board. No Amp. You can really enjoy the sound of the Guitar I find. The GL 100 has rich distortion and Interesting Tonal possibilities Clean or Dirty. 80's technology, go figure...
After the madness of doing a 47 minute guitar solo, mellotrons, glissando guitar, synths and rhythm guitars were then placed accordingly to round out the Ever Important: Arrangement.
Mixed. Mastered....presto, magico, finito.
