Week Four

A finger picked composition I often play at home is given the autotune treatment. The computer decides where certain chromatic notes should fit and pushes the whole thing down several whole steps. Distant slide work can just be discerned. Performed by red guitar. (3 minutes, 45 seconds).
(Leaving home for four weeks. Posts delayed.)

Week Three

"Very Early" by Bill Evans. Evans' perpetually floating melody is realized by the sine wave generator, which produces a perfect endless tone. Performed by Wurlitzer 200a, SG electric guitar, and Sine-Square Generator. (2 minutes, 19 seconds).
