so, new direction to start with.
i went to the ea lab today to play with things and decided to just do an exploration project on my bass. its an electric/acoustic hybrid so its got a weird sound to it. today, with the help of my trusty sidekick elliot, we plugged my bass into a bass amp, and then through a guitar amp with distortion. this gave it a truly unique sound texture.
here is where i am torn: should i compose a piece to be played live with the help of a loop pedal, or should i record many tracks and compose them through a computer? both sound appealing, but i think live performance is more up my alley.
let me extend my thoughts on the bass. i expect to use it for many different sounds, not only that of the strings. being a big acoustic bass, it makes a great drum. also different objects on the strings make for super fun time.
