This piece is a bit sentimental). Changing guitars would be definitely better for the overall sound, but it would make this piece even longer so I played five layers in Boomerang looper with only one Godin Multiac Steel guitar this time.
First of all I dropped 6th string from E to D. I often change a guitar tuning if it makes playing more convenient.
This is the first time I used MIDI sync with a DAW because I needed a click to play exactly in tempo. If you sync Boomerang Looper with Cubase be sure to check a box in Transport menu - Project Synchronization Setup - MIDI Clock Out - (checkmark the desired MIDI Clock Destination).
The 3rd phrase in Boomerang is also used for internal sync if you record it first, so the other phrases will correspond to its length as 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and so on…
I used some short Strymon TimeLine delay to make a rhythmic structure at the very beginning. The second phrase was a short circling figure that was meant to fit well to the harmony of the next long piece. I used two delays (quarter note in Roland VG-99 and dotted note in Strymon TimeLine) in this short figure to make a reach rhythmic structure.
I used some of my Roland VG-99’s presets to make a fat bass pad that followed the harmony line. At the end of the composition I played a melodic part with ebow and a slider. I like using foot volume controller when playing ebow - it makes the sound swelling in smoothly which can be hard to achieve sometimes when playing ebow.

Beautiful ❤️
Molodetc, bravo
i always listen to your videos with my headphones on when i go for walks. good medicine for the soul
Really glad to know that!)
Again, outstanding music. I love your technique, approach to looping, and masterful use of delay.
Awesome stuff.
Thanks Tom!
Nice , great job
Thanks!
absolutely beautiful. i love i. i always wanted to make music like that
Thanks! Ambient is simple to play) The less you play the better)))
me imagino que no estaras tomando cafe ? muy bueno felicitaciones
I enjoyed this. Nice work Mikhail!
Thumbs up
+Nathan Shafer thanks Nathan!
Dude,.
That was beautiful 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ok, it looks like that something. Wow
bravo!
thanks!
Love this. I wish I had read your description first because I spent way too long trying to figure out your chord progression on the second part and didn't realize you were in drop D. Ugh. Now I have to go back and figure it out again...
+StuttsyDC any work can lead to perfection, so I believe you didn't spend your time for nothing trying to figure that out!) The other day I read that Joni Mitchell uses a numerous number of alternate tunings and she is incredibly skillful in it. Ease of performance...)
Oh, I never said it was wasted time! It's a lovely piece by the way.
Wow you nice and coffee with all that 😎💆🏻♂️
super
your vids make me want to learn guitar so bad! 😫
+isuk withnames playing ambient is simple) I always say that - the less you play the better!)
I know this is older but nice setup
Cheers ! Lovely music Mike, I always like your advice and settings for the rig. Did you first recorded a silent layer on the boomerang ? Or just began recording? I'm into dadgad lately but have to get my ass in gear to set up my stuff again and play. Less is more. Thanks !
+Ronnie Bracke thanks Ronnie! No, I decided to record right from the start - no silent layers. You can guess that this video is far from being the first take)))). The biggest problem was the first rhythmic loop - to record it as clear as possible. Not satisfied with midi interaction between Boomerang and DAW. Think I should experiment further. Less is more! (sounds like "may the force be with you" for some musicians))))
Thnx !
Great piece. Do you mind to share what effects did you use with ebow and slider?
Thanks! Well... it's a complicated preset in VG-99 built on a cosm guitar (1 octave up) + synth sound... and a bit of Strymon TimeLine's delay. The most remarkable thing about this VG-99's preset is that it combines 2 delay lines - synth starts at the very beginning and cosm guitar starts 1800 ms later (delay is set to "all wet"). I like this approach when there comes a second voice repeating after the main one 2 seconds later...
Mikhail Medvedev а какое у тебя время суток что так быстро отвечаешь? очень красивое звучание. вааще супер
московское.. в режиме "сова")))))
wo, ebow works with nylon strings??? thank´s!
Well, no. This is Godin Multiac Steel with steel strings, not nylon.
@@MikhailMedvedev oh.. sad , anyway..sweet music
what are you using to loop ?
Boomerang III - there is a video description with the setup
@@MikhailMedvedev thank you 🙏 appreciate your response
I hope your neighbours realise how lucky they are Mikhail.
I'm very, very careful with my neighbours. Never play too loud or late)
coffee was still warm ? ;-)
that's why I prefer tea when playing a guitar)
У меня однотипные комменты под твоими видосами. А че тут еще скажешь, охуенско! =)
