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.
Thanks for watching!
