Andre LaFosse - Then Again
“When I dreamed up a new collection of experimental guitarists for 7d, Andre was my instant first pick.” - Trey Gunn
Each track here is a live performance with an electric guitar and a Hologram Microcosm. Half of them (tracks 1, 3, 4, and 8) also use the Glou-Glou Loupé; the other half are Microcosm by itself.
My baseline goal with looping is to present a live performance that holds up strictly on its own musical merits, exactly as played, from the very first note. But, sometimes a bit of post-performance tweaking can elevate the material - especially when a live performance becomes a recorded document.
So, some of the performances have been edited, usually at the very start and/or end. There's a tiny bit of more substantial tweaking here and there: a few redundant repetitions removed, an intro spliced onto the end to bookend a performance, two parts of a single performance cross-faded together, and some volume adjustments during mixing and mastering, to flatter and enhance the arc of the material.
As always: thank you very much for listening.
