| ARTIST/TECH NOTES: |
|
|
THIS SYSTEM ALLOWS ME TO FOLD LINES AND CHORDS I'M PLAYING INTO MELODIC
RHYTHMS AND TEXTURES, WHILE LOOPING, PROCESSING, AND CONTROLLING
PARAMETERS WITH MY FEET AND HANDS. MERGING MY GUITAR WITH MY COMPUTER AND
SOFTWARE I MAKE, HAS CREATED A MORE OPEN INSTRUMENT FOR ME. WHETHER I AM
MAKING RHYTHMIC REAL-TIME WEAVINGS OF SAMPLED GUITAR MELODIES, OR
CONTROLLING SYNTHESIS PARAMETERS WITH THE GUITAR'S INTERFACE VIA MIDI, OR
PLAYING STRAIGHT THROUGH UNPROCESSED, THIS GUITAR/COMPUTER SYSTEM PROVIDES
INFINITE POSSIBILITIES. IT WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE TO EVOLVE. |
