microtonal improv for Sound-In, 1/30/2015

another piece done with Jeff Larson's Mobius looping software. The idea here was minimal akin to Robert Fripp frippertronics of many years ago.

adapted parlor acoustic to slide guitar. An improvisation reflecting on awaking to a roof leak in my recording room from an overnight snow.

another improvisation after raising the strings via found objects about the same height to make a slide guitar out of my parlor guitar. Tuning is fairly low tension though the string raise nut and saddle are raising pitch. Shot glass for slide.

Continued experiments with 1 of 2 guitars that I have altered with raised strings at nut and saddle to do slide style pieces, using glass like slide, brass nut and saddle on the guitar in this piece which is a Fender 12 string minus two strings.

This one done on the other guitar I have altered a 6-string parlor style, again raised nut and saddle area and playing with a glass slide, tuning as in the other piece sort of found.
