In my first year of college, after seven years on a strict diet of Punk Rock, I turned towards a wider realm of music (how original, right?). Astounded by the beauty and minimalism of Post-Rock and Ambient music, I sunk into my own headphone-dominated world.
Around this time, I bought my first non-distortion guitar pedal, Line 6 Echo Park. This little baby is so fun, with its tap tempo and delay modeling, not to mention the sick sounds that chirp out when you jerk the time knob. I figured it was time to record some of my own trippy tunes.
Armed with an acoustic/electric guitar, Apple Garageband, and a Monster 1/4” to 1/8” converter, I laid down ten minutes of processed guitar and synth loops. Sadly, I only mixed the song on simple Sony headphones, so it sounds muffled on speakers. But on headphones… it’s pretty snazzy.
