After a very enjoyable weekend indoors, I decided to take a walk around the local park on the cold Sunday evening, and was very happy to hear what sounded like improvised drumming coming from an area off the path. Someone was practicing, and after making sure it was okay to listen, and then dancing along a bit, I asked if we could do a duo together. This is the music presented here - the first ...

    I don’t check in here nearly enough. I also can’t keep up with your ever growing pedal collection. Question - are you an MBV fan? (My bloody valentine- the excavators of the shoegaze scene!) I ask because of the shields blender pedal…… And oh my….. sounds of the lower (2nd?) sample loop around 18 mins!!! As always, thanks for sharing your journey. This is both an exquisite level of detail and a sweet insight into your sound journey. I look forward to the chance to be able to jump in and make sounds with you again (your boards) and your beautiful nail polish.

    • @thesongsystem6982
      @thesongsystem6982 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much! 😄Yes, tried OD & dist, but all they did was amplify the volume of the clarinet signal rather than mess it up. I have a theory about this, if you're interested, but would also be interested to see if others have the same experience. 🤔

    • @rlanguillat
      @rlanguillat 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@thesongsystem6982 would love to hear your theory! From my experience, the overdrive is - on acoustic instruments and in comparison to the distortion - interesting as it seems to bounce the level (like a magnyfiying glass) of the incoming signal, which is perfect for soft noise sounds or gesture i.e.

    • @thesongsystem6982
      @thesongsystem6982 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@rlanguillat The theory is basically that guitar signal is pretty much a sine wave, so Dist and OD messing with it has a tangible effect, whereas the signal from the clarinet already has a lot of unpredictable overtones, so it requires the "broken circuit" of a fuzz to actually sound distorted. Basically, the clarinet is already pretty messed up! Also, I agree with what you say about Dist and OD for small sounds - I really liked that effect when I played with such pedals. There wasn't enough grit for me though, as something to be added to melodic phrases as a timbral feature.
