Description
This is my LIOLI entry...
As most people would, I took the loop and repeated it a bunch of times, and experiment with different instruments assigned to it. I settled on Japanese Koto and Chinese Zither, but then I proceeded to highly effect them with some drastic plugins like CamelSpace and CamelPhat (demo versions that produce silence every 30 seconds), Supatrigga and Cyanide, and then I duplicated one that I turned in to an ES2 synth that shifts over time. Then I added a cool jazz drum track that comes from the excellent EZ Drummer Jazz Kit, and then I played a sort of jazzy/eastern european sounding bass guitar part. I was wondering what sort of vocal could go with this and I decided a sort of hip "Eastern" sort of spoken word thing would be good and I found this Creative Commons download of a reading of the Tao Te Ching by this guy Alex Wilson and dropped that in there and chopped it up a little bit to fit and stuck a megaphone effect on it. Then I recorded a little mandolin part as it went along with the koto and zither sound a bit; I wanted to play more but I sort of ran out of time and it's far too hot in my studio right now...

This is true Bouchard with the readings in the background. Very sublime and the bass being the dominant accentuated by the mando. Can barely pick out the loop, which is a good thing in the artistry. faved
