Description
This is another of my Ambient Talking series. Wanted to do something sort of quick and long this weekend, and this is what I came up with. It's mostly a dialogue between 2 guitar parts, one being a live sound on sound loop with sort of tremolo cowboy movie guitar that goes in and out of e-bow, the other a reverse delay guitar. The guitars are recorded live, and the looped and reversed sounds are live courtesy of a Boss DD-20 MegaDelay pedal. Then there's a live bass part that gets chopped up and used with various glitchy cut up drum loops and various other synth sounds. And then there's some dialogue from my late father-in-law, Arthur Tamkin, playing checkers with my son, Maurice. They loved to play checkers together, and I recorded this dialogue with my minidisk on a visit a few years ago. I wanted to do something glitchy and long with a lot of texture, just to free my mind a bit. I've been listening to a bit of David Sylvain lately, and Eno, so that's been inspiring me.

Somewhere between Another Green Day and Music for Films perhaps. Full of rich tones and gorgeous sounds and very slick - especially considering you created this over a weekend. If you were to develop this further I'd suggest easing off the compression (well it feels quite compressed to me) and maybe introducing some more light and shade.
Nevertheless, it's a shimmering, effective and absorbing piece
