Guitar Overdubs · May 26, 02:34 PM

I received some guitar overdubs over the internet from Kevin McLeod.

Basically I’d sent him a mono mix of a long (12’) live take featuring percussion, synth and piano, plus faux Arabic strings and electronics.. enough to suggest an outline… and in return came three mono tracks of well played guitar lines.

So, over the last 48 hours in spare moments I’ve done the transfers, re-amped, and edited for shape. This last incorporating a fair amount of slash and burn, but applied no more rigorously than I do with my own playing.

There’s now a deliciously eccentric coda featuring layered guitars and the live bass/drums, a long pointillist middle section of drifting instruments from all denominations, and a beginning of swelling sustained delay swept guitars.

Plus conga, 808 sounds, flute, horn additions.

This should become a nice little download only piece with a working title of

en las americas

to adumbrate the new collection perhaps now entitled

hemisphere
