This man opened for Explosions in the Sky in 2007 at The Bottleneck in Lawrence, KS. As eclectic as that audience was, nobody had heard of this man before nor did we anticipate the complete tonal shift and hypnagogic headspace his carefully precise looped pedals all began to come alive and form the most ethereal sound. I caught him after the show and asked which of his albums most resembled the set he played, he recommended Ohms and I snagged it rather than an EitS LP. Have no regrets. Hope this artist is still alive and well, his music was spiritual, transcendent at times frightening but some of the most uniquely personal and immersive I had ever experienced.
This was an amazing performance. I wish it was still available. Maybe Lichens has a copy of it? Although he seems to be very "once the music is gone, its gone" and leans into the temporary nature of music. Which I can appreciate but seeing him live the few times he came to Boston was incredible.
Oh god you guys I am kicking myself for not downloading that video. It’s probably my favourite live footage ever. If anyone finds it please report back!!
If you're talking about the kinda sitar-sympathetic-resonance sound, there's a few things to try: ~Play a 12-string (in live video recordings of Lowe performing this piece, you'll see he uses a 12-string) ~Stick something under the strings at the bridge--something thick enough to stay wedged, but not so thick as to preclude the strings from buzzing against it (Lowe does not do this, but if you're really looking for an exaggerated buzziness, this is one way to get that) ~Try using an eBow with steel strings for the sustain (Lowe definitely doesn't do this, at least not live) My guess is, if you're referring to the buzzy notes with the unnaturally long sustain, that Lowe processed the shit out of the recorded audio to get that effect. If you peep video of Lowe performing this in a live setting, you'll hear none of that kind of sustained buzzy tone. If memory serves, this is the first piece Lowe recorded with extensive overdubbing. Possibly there was some looping or delay or granular synthesis involved, too, in getting that sound? Anyway--and, bear in mind, this is speculation--masterful eBowing, the bridge mod, and using a 12-string might allow you to get the processed sound in a live setting. I've tried each thing individually, but never all at once. So I have no clue if it'd actually work. But if you try it, please hit me up! Super curious now. For reference (to give faith that I'm not just talking out of my ass), check out the following, also on TH-cam: ~The live recording of this piece, from the Lichens show at Miroiterie, Paris ~Daniel Kalishner's "How to Make Your Acoustic Guitar Sound Like a Sitar" ~kenwagman's "Using an E-Bow on an Acoustic Guitar"
sorry darchole, i see what it means, and it sounds good, but, discipline and liberty dont seem to go together, at least not in a personal way, maybe, as a country, yes, but not in a personal way
I always loved this guy music since 90 day men days. Amazong musical talent

I must humbly acknowledge that I'd never heard of him before, but this is really amazing. Thanks for sharing

Goddammit, they took down the Paris live version in night vision!!
I've searched a hundred times for it, kind of a relief to see someone else post about it being gone! Such a bummer its been taken down
Mustafa Rafiq I must have watched it 100 times! I heard the venue's wall collapsed a few years ago and it is no longer open!
I know exactly the video! What happened to it?? Was so unreal!!

Fuck fellas we need to find that video i’m in the exact same boat. Absolutely kicking myself for not ripping it
Thanks to Doug Aitken for introducing me to this
Does anyone have the live video where this screenshot was from? I remember it was on YT at one point.
Wss this the Paris performance? I’ve been looking for that one
I have the old link via a facebook post from 2011 and the video was removed from yt.
Oh god you guys I am kicking myself for not downloading that video. It’s probably my favourite live footage ever. If anyone finds it please report back!!
@@markaddington6880 any idea who posted it? I’d be willing to contact the channel and ask for a copy if they have it lol
any good news?
does anyone know how to get that vibrating sound on the acoustics strings? Bon Iver do it on 'For Emma...

I believe that is actually the synth doing that. Notice how the string sound blends in so gradually to the synth sound at the end.
ebow
Ebow
that's 100% an ebow; and it is for sure also an ebow on the song you're tlaking about on For Emma
