Arafúra [ Arafura ] - Ambient / Soundscape / Texture / Textural Guitar Jam

This is an ambient / soundscape jam in the vain of my own project, called Arafúra. Arafúra is very much focused on textural loops revolving around each other, piano/keys laying on top and that layered with strings etc. So you could say this is the core, Arafúra stripped down.

- A TIP: If you liked this, try opening it in two windows, let the other video begin one minute later or so. The layering is even bigger then.

what effects did you use for this? the really big backround sound? :)

[DemoColorScheme]

@BaltimoreResolution

A bunch of delay, modulation and reverb. I used a volume pedal to swell in the notes. The background pad was a combination of those swells and using a cello bow.

Hm, the BOSS? I don't know, I like the sweep of the VP JR, though I only use it as an expression pedal for the G-System now.

[smartti1970]

oh i see you have the earny ball, do you know of any alternative ( i dont like the mechanical bit of it) and is it transparent?
