Adam John Williams - Say Goodbye (Live looping performance)

I've been too much layering recently. Time to get a bit minimalist.

The loops are being recorded and controlled with my monome and a Max MSP patch I created called 'MOLFOMI" (MOnome Looper FOr Multi-Instrumentalists) and the output from Max is being recorded into Logic Pro 9 via Soundflower.

The beatboxing and vocoding were both processed with Tim Exile's excellent new "The Mouth" running in Native Instruments Reaktor 5.5

The initial drum samples are played from a Roland SP-404, and the MIDI controller used to pitch the vocoded bass over the beatboxing is a C-Thru Music 'Axis', which is excellent and if you're into alternative controllers, or like me you find the conventional piano layout illogical, then definitely take a look at these.

And lastly, why did I sit on the floor?

I don't know. I was playing Saz and Didgeridoo... sitting on a cushion on the floor just felt right. Man I wish I had my Oud or Sitar here... they would have been great for this.

very cool. Its obvious you have a lot of fun here :) Keep on. What was your base for looping? I meen what did you use to loop channels? Is it a hardware or any software digital audio workstation? Keep cool :)

@MentalBlue It was a Max MSP patch I built, controlled by a Monome, but after some problems of things going out of sync etc. and then some good conversations with Tim Exile I think I'm going to try and rebuild the same patch in Reaktor.

really impressive the vocal effect when you dropped out the digi was quality. how was that done?

Here is a guy who just KNOWS his stuff. Wildly impressive skills, and most interesting combinations of sounds and gear - and true, Oud and/or Sitar would go great with the overall sound. But just crazy in so many levels.

@MarctheDarc Wow! Thanks very much for the extremely kind and encouraging words!

[roboedar]
