lap steel and iOS efx

minimal lap steel and efx

lap steel, efx from iOS JamUP and emotions from witnessing two punks last night toss a glass bottle in to the street without regard to life or limb. Thankfully nobody passing at moment.

A new project of thinking about writing for 4 guitars as in same feeling as a string quartet. This is one of two recent pieces. The initial idea was thought and recorded then the other parts were improvised one at a time from that. All performed on fretless guitar.

This is continuing of my new ideas for guitar quartet. This was my first piece done all on fretless. The initial idea, melody was thought out and recorded then the other 3 tracks were improvised off that. The idea of the sound and feel is akin to a string quartet.

fretless guitar improv with some delay, made through Pure Data.

A collaboration between drummer Ray Istorico and myself. Manipulated a lot and included a pub domain JFK speech that I think is okay here, we’ll see.

lots of distortion and frequency

This is for the dear departed Allan Holdsworth who passed away last Sunday. He was amazing. This is merely to capture a hint of his spirit and thoughts about listening to several periods of him this week. I particularly like the Bill Bruford years.

I’d say one of the first true noise pieces I’ve made. Done with fretless guitar feeding through amp looping efx with the iOS ADelay2 app.

2 guitar pieces mashed together

Created from segments in my Pure Data iPhone app hosted by Daniel IGlasia’s MobuPhat. I put this together few weeks. While enjoying a cheeseburger with b-que and onions at a local diner, put this together.

A collaboration with composer/drum set artist Joseph Benzola. This is from his original solo drum set improv and I added violin and efx. With our friend Jimmy Ross in mind.

another piece with real time violin sending midi data intercepted by an oscillator and envelopes in the Pure Data program environment.

guitar. midi convert to audio oscillator with envelope filtering. created with guitar and pure data (visual programming environment).

done multi-track midi’d guitar, FM synth, pure data.

Another piece done with Midi patches in Pure Data communicating with FM synth from 80’s TX81Z.

Well no strings here. An enhanced Pure Data patch originally created by Rafael Hernandez and embellished by me. I’m using an 80’s Yamaha FM tone synth so very old sounds here and controlling from the keyboard of the computer in the patch, playing freeform to a degree. Main beat is being sequenced…read more

made with v3 of my Pure Data app. Fretless guitar.

Looping piece for the times, done in my Pure Data looping program.

Random played open strings on the guitar captured in a looper I wrote using Pure Data, a visual programming language created by Milton Puckette.

I’ve been experimenting off/on for several months with a visual programming environment created by Miller Puckette called Pure Data (puredata.info). I recently had a breaktrough that led to creating a fundamental software looper. Very excited about this! This piece totally improvised all open…read more

another fretless improv done in short phrases and assembled in Loopy HD.

short piece created in Loopy HD, fretless guitar

Slide piece on fretless which I guess is what’s the point other than feel and tone. Improvised through IOS AudioDub app for Sound-In event Jan 7 2017

fretless piece kind of funky kind of blue kind of anti-music I guess. Some manip on the end.

fretless acoustic that I have not played in a long time. My first fretless an Ovation copy discovered on eBay @2010. Has piezo pickup being used.

fretless guitar - after several experiences with temporary frets randomly placed, took them off and trying to play smaller intervals more in between on the unfretted.

22 fret to the octave 2 part improv. Growing up in the south and seeing the movie Hidden Figures this evening saddly brought them to mind but ever mindful.

An improv in continued EDO but not too equal temporary frets, 22 of them. Reflective ambient somewhere in the micros at times for the past and coming future.

as in Zone. 21 fret microtonal using temporary somewhat random placed zip tie frets inspired by microtonal composer and fellow Alonetoner Chris Vaisvil. 2 tracks captured using iPad Amplitude.

continuing to improvise and capture in 21 frets. This is 2 tracks and posting for IMprovfriday this coming week. Merry Holidays all!

Another venture in to placement of temporary zip tie frets at microtone spacing and improv for the Sound-In weekend.

First true foray in to microtonal piece on an altered fretless with 16 zip tie frets to the octave. Thanks to Chris Vaisvil for the inspiration of the technique as well as all his knowledge of microtonal music.

fretless in CGCGGC tuning, exploring JI naively but I think with the thought in mind. Looping in LoopyHD

A week of some stolen identity. Lap steel, iOS efx, Mobius loops

Violin, Mobius, Distortion, Paulstretch post

Lap steel and Mobius (software looper). Composed/improvised/created few hours after learning of Pauline Oliveros death who I didn’t know but spent some time discovering.

Lap steel looping piece. Re-recorded playing back to an air recorder then final piece Paul Stretched. An aural look back riding in Death Valley as well as the Arizona desert by bike.

A lovely piano composition by southern CA composer Shane W. Cadman. I added live lap steel, reversed my part and processed to enhance the reverb enhanced piano of Shane’s.

Guitar improv, kind of blue kind of suspended chord forms. Reflections on Arizona, unknown world we are moving to.

A piece that started with environmental recording from the NYC Donald Trump protest on 11/9 in front of Trump Tower. People chanting in support of women’s rights and fear of the new administration altering the course of things, chanting ‘my body my choice’. I manipulated that and manipulated…read more

improv

haven’t played the oud in a while. Pegs needed setting so lubed with the peg dope and tuned up. Did this in spirit of the Halloween Sound-In event this weekend.
agarwood is a teacher of struggle, war, pain, and triumph over adversity

for a friend, looped violin

plucked fingerpicked violin

memory of Death Valley today and seeing a bird trying to move forward just as i was on the road there with gale force mother nature winds holding us in trance.

I did a charity ride recently in Death Valley. The headwinds were really strong. To the point that it was pedal all you could but it was 7 mph max. I got to a point where we were to turn around. I saw a black bird hovering attempting to go forward but he just floated in the blow.

A fiddle romp in a weird tuning that I don’t know what it is other than I torqued the pegs and have close interval between what is normally the D and A strings.

looped violin piece

Testing looping equipment for a trip today. Posting to Sound-In.
