--> While working on my live set incorporating cello and live looping, I came up with this little fragment, which I kind of like.

Pretty much me playing cello through different fx through my live looper (boss RC2) and into Live, where it gets a little subharmonic love and some beat repeat.

Just thought I'd share.

Edit: For those who want more, here's the 9 minute paulstretch version with a little harmonic action: link

That's all? needs to be more than a fragment. Enlongen it.

Can you control reverb level? Despite being washed out, this is still pretty up-front. I'd love to hear this fade into the background, then jump back to the forground, etc etc., in a live setting.

I'll enlongen you (shakes fist).

I just started playing with Bidule...I think I can do lfo style parameters easier in it than live, so I may try that wet/dry reverb balance.

I'll post the paulstretch 8-hour version next.

nice! i don't know if it's just me and everything is reminding me of My Bloody Valentine, but this also has that real thick, warm string sound that I love. Emily thinks it sounds like a bagpipe.

I like it. Neeeeed more.

Thanks for the nice comments, guys. It makes me psyched to work on my live set and assault people with overdubbed cello.

Joey: I'm actually trying to do an acoustic version of my bloody valentine.

I'm performing lots of vibrato through a reverse reverb, which messes with your perception of pitch.

Kevin Shields noted that a lot of the reason people think there's a zillion guitars on Loveless is the way he bends the pitch in the songs...it's a perceptual thing that thickens the sound, and makes you think there are more players than they really are. This is maybe three overdubs.

Post more like this! This is great...

gorgeous...i want a 20 minute version of this.
maybe sometimes a little bit of warm saturation deep under the thick cello layer. and maybe some moments of restrain, where it all fades out a little.

but omg. this is brilliant.
make an album of this.
please

Just paulstretch that 9 minute version by the same amount and you are done with your ambient album.

In the stretched version, I can hear much more distinction between forground/background parts as well as high pitch/lo pitch parts and even stereo seperation. Maybe thats all just a biproduct of paulstretch?

I took advantage of the harmonic shapers in paulstretch and added a bit more bass and octave up.

It makes me a little disillusioned with a lot of the kranky releases now that I know how a lot of people do it.

I'd rather make "honest" drones where I am actually playing the length of it rather than taking a snippet and stretching it out to a glacial pace.
