Loop Deluge

Below is a selection of loops I’ve done in my studio in the last year or so. I play in a few groups around town and one of them is a band called Ebeneezer. We do some pretty lengthy improvisations live, kind of Phish meets, Particle, meets something else. I’ve included a link to the second half of an hour long improve we did a few months back. This is about 30 minutes of pure improvisation.. which after the first 3 minutes of so moves into a trance/electronic stratosphere journey thingy…

Here’s some loops I’ve done.. Most of these are pretty short.. just a few measures..

Here is a sample of some of my bands early experiments in the studio with more electronic sounds...

This is about a 30 minute improv that heads out into the stratosphere… it’s actually the second half of about an hour improv. The first 3 minutes or so build into something.. and at the 3 min mark it starts getting tasty…

Ok.. .sorry for the deluge… J Here’s some purely electronic stuff I’ve done…

Here are some links to some electronic stuff I did with samples and loops, a few years ago.

I’m taking liberty with some great old D-Lite saxaphone here. Chopping it up and pasting it as something new

This is a tricky set of samples I pulled from an old Peter Erskine drum instructional CD, including Peters voice.

This is the deep sub bass tune I showed you last week. Pardon the Paula Abdul backbeats :P

This one was an experiment on building a clean stereo image… after the first 30 seconds or so the tune should open up into a wide stereo image.. I kind of like that.

This is a slow groove using the same D-Lite horn samples

This is a dirty sounding abrasive tune… I go back and forth on this one.

Let me know what you think!
