- This one is in depth!
Many of my students and folks who follow my work are curious about the techniques and ideas behind my extended loop-based improvisations. In this weeks video I’ll walk you step by step through an improvised loop-based piece and talk through what exactly I am thinking and doing in real time. Check it out!

Brilliant. Thanks!
now, this stuff is so inspiring! thank you! :)
Dan, love your whole series of looping videos. Gear question: in some of your Ableton looping videos, you mention using a Fryette box (which I assume you use to get line-level guitar sound into your interface). In other videos, I see that your amp is mic’d (which is another way to get guitar sound into Ableton). Could you explain more what you’re doing?
Thank you Dan-I think I reach out to you. You only ever see it being done but not the “how” and being in the rural world still has consequences. Yes I can, read, but there is nothing more powerful than showing as I’m not sure I have a grasp on the language of this art.
This is the most inspiring and thoughtful TH-cam video on the subject of guitar looping-based improvisation I've yet come across - thank you Dan! I sent you a private email separately, as I would love to have a lesson(s) with you to dive more deeply into topics related to how I might expand my forays into soundscaping with a 6-string electric bass beyond the Ableton based feedback looping setup I have now. Would love the chance to gain some mentoring and instruction from you. All the best, Frank Paul (Vancouver, Canada)
Great stuff Dan.
Dan the Man !!
I love your insights👌👽👌!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I could listen to an album of this 🙏 well done
Thanks, Paul! Check out my albums VESSEL, Ephemera, and Silent City wherever you stream music or at Oceanographicrecords.bandcamp.com/
I'd second Dan here. Check his stuff out. Silent City is a masterpiece.
Love this, really interesting guitar. Many questions, I'll hit you up.
Awesome! Looking forward to it!
Ever thought about going modular? Processing your signal via a Make Noise Morphogene, 4ms Sampler or/and Mimeophon? The possibilities are endless - and you work via tabletop. It seems a logical step for your rig.
I’ve toyed with the idea but I think if I went down the modular route I might never come back...that’s a deep hole!!!
@@oceanographic Haha....true enough!
This is exactly the rabbit hole I've gone down, using VCV software instead of Eurorack/pedals. It's even better! The only limit is the performance of your computer. Imagine hooking up 24 delay pedals, and being able to control the delay time on all them with a single knob on a MIDI controller. Plus all the modular goodness - sample and hold, LFOs, envelope followers, hundreds of different filters etc. Unfortunately, I spend all my time upgrading my PC and making ridiculous FX patches instead of actual music. Hours of fun though. PS. Great video!
