Guitarscape 2 - Originally recorded on 26 October 2005
21/04/2006The concept behind the recording of this track is an interesting exercise in creating random music and discovering patterns instinctively. Using a Boss RC-20XL, I created a silent loop of about 30 seconds and began to play a single note, building up notes on the repeated loop until random themes begin to form. I particularly like the bell-like chime of the guitar. But the question always remains: is this music? Whatever it is, I personally find it very relaxing and think of it as a truly subconscious creation. Enjoy!
