Karl and Brad, again!


More fun with Karl! After our happy improv-session last January, we decided to get together again. Five months later, and we managed to do it (the delay more my fault than Karl's). If anything, this session was even more interesting. The first piece is always a little tentative, but even with that caveat this work stands well.

I realized this time that I had to do very little processing of Karl's guitar. He's a plugin maniac! Most of the DSP you hear from him is via his own PC. I'm not sure how he manages to do both the processing-control and the guitar-playing, but he does. And he does it very well.

Count on us doing more of these in the future. We'll get Terry Pender and/or Gregory Taylor roped in to some of this action, too.

[NOTE: The special bonus recordings! were made by Karl with his own digitdal recorder 'live' in the space where we played (our upstairs living room). They're the same improvs as bradshouse-jun2013-FG3 and bradshouse-jun2013-FG4, but not recorded directly through the audio mixer. You can hear Karl's guitar-picking and some assorted other random noises. Fun stuff!]
