Algal Bloom Track

Post by Gearmond »

Just finished up recording a track for my next EP, and I used my new baby, the lovely Algal Bloom, and i figure there are enough demos just going solo, so why not put it in some kind of context, and while i'm at it, why not something you wouldn't expect a fuzz pedal to be in; hypnotic psychadelic vaguely surf-y shoegaze-ish rock with little to no production value :joy:

essentially a chant/raga/repeated thingy of this phrase i was playing around with, and noticed HUGE sympathetic harmonics with reverb, and just went from there, and played it for like 4 and a half minutes... only the drums are looped :0
the timing is supposed to sound a bit wonky. i'd explain, but since i know a good deal of you guys are Zappa fans i'll just say this: Xenochrony :p

so without further ado:
[soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/gearmond/beach-dream[/soundcloud]

note: basically, my favorite fuzz tones of all time are Robert Fripp on Starless, and Sonny Sharrock on Promises Kept, and after setting the fuzzed track on solo, and playing my tone (guitar->AB->digitech RP300 -> first act USB cable, so theres probably a decent amount of tone lost there) simultaneously with each at comparable volume, i can safely say that what I got is the perfect middle between the two with the only difference that I could notice being a difference in treble (Fripp seems to have them cut, where Sharrock's were brighter compared to my tone). and with that said, i'm pretty much done gushing. thoughts, comments, requests?

I like the frippertronicish vibe I get from it. Well done.
