Adam John Williams covers "Echoplex" by Nine Inch Nails

A slightly more ambitious attempt at one of my layered-up recordings. On most of the others I played to sequenced tracks with some additional parts, on this one I played everything. The drum machine is a Max MSP patch controlled by TouchOSC, pretty much copying what NIN did with the Jazzmutant Lemur to achieve the same thing.

In case it's not immediately obvious, the piano is being played from the MIDI guitar.

For any nerds, a gear list:
Line 6 Variax
Spear S2w 4-string bass
Harley Benton tele
iPad running TouchOSC controlling Max MSP drum machine
T.bone Ribbon mic
Alesis Drumpad
Yamaha EZ-EG MIDI guitar
Recorded in Protools 8 via a Digi 003r

But anyway, yeah. Let me know what you think.

mate where did you get the yamaha ez eg. looks pretty sweet in black aswell. just asking because i know its discontinued. i was hoping someone might know where to get one

[loneguitaristyannis]

@AcidDropRain I imported it from Japan a few years ago and then put a custom carbon-fibre top on it myself. I love that thing. Check out that new rock band guitar or the YouRock guitar for some good MIDI-guitar controller alternatives.
