Rooted in Pie

[bruno]

When I was a kid, I was obsessed by numbers, even to the point of cranking square roots by hand (pre-calculator) when I was is junior school. I've always liked symmetry in number. Strange. I was an odd child, but it has served me well :-)

so glad to hear a new post...

This is sublime! I really like the floating atmosphere and the Gilmouresque guitar playing. This ain't by the numbers track!

This sounds so pro. I love the sparse piano against that pad, and your guitar playing is always a treat. I assume this was the Kemper. What "amp" and guitar were used here?

Wonderfully produced.

Really good ! Love the tone of the guitar and the playing and altogether a nice relaxed listen.

I was messimg about with some drum and sunth apps yesterday with the idea of doing something about Pi.  I must have been an odd child too!

It is the kemper and it the Michael Britt profile of this amp https://carramps.com/products/slant-6v
However its quite a clean profile (on the edge break up), so I went through the pedal board. Mainly the J.Rockett APE pedal (Echoplex preamp and delay), and the Wampler Tumnus. I may have used the Wampler Ego as well - cant remember if I left it on or off.

The guitar is my trusty Music Man Luke II. That is HSS strat, and use mainly the neck single coil, but flip the Humbucker to really dig in every now and then. The hardest thing is to manage constraint, I was trying to keep it melodic (I try to play a melody that you would sing), bring it up and down for dynamics and keep it as simple as possible. I must say having the pedals really helps with a playable tone. But I keep experimenting all of the time. I'm a big fan of the APE and the Wampler pedals.

The drums were the Electribe, plus the Electribe sampler used for me speaking the numbers embarrassingly into a mike. I was going to add the speed of light and Plank's constant, but it was all getting too geeky at that point :-)

would love that craziness

Ah, love this! I'm not up on genres but would this be considered "chill wave" - maybe with a message? Very mesmerizing and that guitar lead and tone is to die for! Very cool!

I totally dig the atmosphere of this. What silky smooth guitar work! The recital of Pi was nearly putting me into a trance. Great stuff
