[Slowwavesleepers]

THE GREATEST COVER OF ALL TIME,PERFECTION

[Slowwavesleepers]

This is art. Thankyou

[stateshirt]

@Slowwavesleepers @sonicattack77 Thanks!!! :) :)

[sonicattack77]

that was painful (in a good way) you are very rare talent, i think a good name for the song would be "GO" as it seems (to me) about things leaving :0(

i stumbled upon yourself looking at looping Vids & wow what a fantastic find :0)

i have a number of looping devices and take great pleasure in them, i find creating sound a great outlet :0)

[ambientsky01]

I really like this song. can I ask for the lyrics of this?

[stateshirt]

@ambientsky01 thanks!! :) i've just added the lyrics to the description above.

[ambientsky01]

@stateshirt thanks man! im a fan!

[dazizina]

Really really enjoying ss. Found you through. Check out my side project Tanned Vampire when you can. Myspace.com/tannedvampire. It's super orchestral layers of electronica and symphony that I think you'll like. I've been really digging into your stuff and feel like I found a like mind! Cheers!

[looppool]

Another nice track!

Rick Walker here from the Y2K Loop Fest.

For your drum tracks , here's a great trick (I'm a professional drummer):

tune the top head of your floor tom down very low and then glue a circle of

naugahyde directly to the drum head............it makes a killer , sort of TR-808 sounding kick drum sound. You can tune the drum very low.......it won't sound like a floor tom at all. Keep up the beautiful music. Rick

ps you can even do this trick with a 12" or 14" rototom.

[stateshirt]

@looppool thanks for the tip, I'll try it out!!

[deengew]

cool jazzmaster

[stateshirt]

@deengew thanks! it's actually a Toronado, very similar though...

[DaleRobertSzyms]

This is awesome, I mess around with loopers but nothing like this. I really like how you get a nice drum track with just a snare and a tom, very cool!!!

[stateshirt]

@DaleRobertSzyms hey thanks a lot! glad you like it!!

[merlinmercer]

hi im interested in the Echoplex. but i cant get 2 like you have.what is the main reason for you having 2? just wanted to know if there where sounds i wouldnt be able to get with just 1.

thanks Merlin

[stateshirt]

@merlinmercer I use two essentially because they're mono. I prefer to separate my guitar signal from my vocal signal. If you're just looping one instrument or you can use a mixer, just using one Echoplex can work just fine!

[merlinmercer]

@stateshirt ahh thank you

amazing music by the way. very radiohead/ minus the bear ish. keep it up we need people like you in the spot light!

[stateshirt]

@merlinmercer thanks so much!!

[ArtificialLycan]

I just had a short look on your homepage because I was wondering where I can get your music.

It's absolutely awesome what you're doing!

Hope to see you in Germany someday.

People out there, support the underground!

[stateshirt]

@ArtificialLycan thanks a lot!! glad you like the music...

[stateshirt]

thank you, glad you like it! I use two Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro's synced together. Learning curve can be a bit steep but they're very versatile.

[Hanskin00b]

I really like this ^_^

[koninoskoninosT]

awesome man!!!

[Leverworstje]

Wow nice song! I really love it!!

What guitar is that? It looks really nice! I'm thinking of buying a fender jaguar a.s.a.p. but this one looks and sounds very nice too!

[stateshirt]

thanks a lot!!

the guitar is a fender toronado... pretty sure they're discontinued now but i have seen a few used ones floating around.

[Leverworstje]

Yay thanks!

Wow I've been listening this song for the whole evening! It's one of the better loop vids on youtube!

[ragn4rok234]

so where do i get the CD?

[ragn4rok234]

and that isn't sarcasm at all I REALLY want your CD

[stateshirt]

[fteogr]

I have watched this today at least a zillion times! Great song

[iNtRuS0]

Really amaing bro.

Congrats from Portugal

[thatsillyrabbit]

State Shirt i just started looking at your work about past few couple of days, and i gotta say i can't get enough, it amazes me your artistic ability and this live looping has convinced me for sure your a music mastermind in my eyes, good job 5 star

[unworld]

Great song State Shirt... just read one of your interviews, and checked out your site (via hearing you on TheSixtyOne).

I'm definitely a new fan of yours. You could start referring to yourself as "your favorite musicians, favorite musician", lol. Cliche, but I shared your stuff with another lead guitar player & vocalist with other bands... we all agree you're doing good stuff man.

Well, keep up the great work, you're an inspiration to us all out here in the indie world!

[didjmedicine]

nice dude =) i've had a gibson echoplex in my arsenal for about 4 years and.....I hate to say this but......I freakin never cracked into it! arghhh. so much time no space or how do they say too little time and no space ..huh........ right. Beenn too busy in other musical endevores for years now and this one has been collecting too much dust. My whole kick bout this unit is it ain't stereo. My mind is wrapping the pos about a mono feed and gettin all that juicy sterio feed. Any ideas? :)

[stateshirt]

Thanks! Well the echoplex definitely has a learning curve, it can do a lot. My only solution to the mono thing was to sync two of them together. They sync just fine and you can get stereo separation. Gets a bit pricey though!

[Newpjeut]

I sent you some more responses but none seem to arive.

[stateshirt]

Try sending again, I don't think I got anything!

[Newpjeut]

What's the tuning of your guitar. It seems not the casual EADGBe, right?

[stateshirt]

you are correct, it's DADGAD, pretty much the only tuning I ever use.

[captgjohnson]

dude, ur are truely awesome...i first heard about u on FrostWire/FrostClick whatever it is...but now i visit ur website at least 2 times a day 4 times a week :)

[darthxavier777]

dude what kind of looper are you using rc 50

i cant figure out how you just did that kind of bleww my mind

[stateshirt]

nah not an RC-50, i'm using a gibson echoplex digital pro... two of them actually.

[FuttFel]

Wow, this song is gorgeous!

No mp3 of this one? That should almost be considered a crime. :P I'd love to hear this with better sound-quality.

[stateshirt]

Thanks for the kind words. The MP3 is now up on my site (stateshirt dot c o m)

:)

[KlasLinde]

Great stuff man, love it!

Ah, yeah. Hafta remember to buy this is old soon, got don't die on december and I've been listening to it quite a bit.

[saintjake]

Ethan! Love it! Come play it in my kitchen!

[eariddell]

Wow Ethan, this song gives me chills, its amazing and I am very impressed with your live impromptu performance. I do don't nt know a lot about music, except for what I like to listen to, I am impressed with the looping, I first saw and heard about that at the KT Tunstall Star Lounge.

The lyrics are great, reminds a bit of somebody we both know. Coincidence?
