Pretty cool.
You know, I can only guess...
It sure has a twangy resonance, though.
Well, also, I saw some stuff on Sonic Youth where they were talking about designing tunes around one crappy instrument, because it was the only way they could get it to play.
Just sayin'. But, you know I like stuff like this. Like listening to fan overtones, it seems like. Pretty neat.

1/1/11; took bits from two of Mark's tracks from Pleasure Listening (2002) and improvised in Max with them, then mixed in DP. a mellow vibe for the new year.
This song is not for everyone but I like it because its a live recording with a single instrument using infinity delay FX. (I turned on the loop delay at :09 after the guitar was flat on the floor.)
All the sounds are made with an acoustic bass…
