Grzegorz Kosi?ski – Meditation (Bass solo with loop station)
Jan 22, 2011 sweep picking
I know that some of you may say that this solo is weird and that it is not the bass guitar to play like that, but first – if this guitar can play like that, is to say that you may play like that, and second – only by breaking stereotypes, by combining styles and techniques, through the syncretism of forms, we can get something new, original and better – the one who copies the style of the others, it is predictable and not make the art of music anything that was pushing the story forward.
“Meditation” song was composed by me in this year. Recorded for 7-string Conklin bass guitar with loop station, zoom multieffect and drum machine. Max. 9 basses at the same time.
The main technique I usually use is two-handed tapping, but in this case I use the others, such as one-handed tapping, scratch, picking, sweep picking, fingering or ‘natural’ and ‘artificial’ harmonics. Effects I used are: reverb, distortion, delay and acoustic (some mixed together).
I hope You`ll enjoy it.
Cheers!

Review: “…such an impressive guitar player and Nylon … for Now is full of interesting music… dizzying flamenco-style runs… pretty, ringing arpeggios. Hes even better when he leans into some meaty rhythmic chording. Then theres his unique percussion, which is him tapping on the guitars wood body. I wish hed do it more often on this album, but these tracks were recorded in single takes, and providing all that rhythm on top of breakneck picking is, Im sure, hard work. Fans of guitar virtuosity should check out Si Hayden… a few listens made me appreciate it on a heart-and-soul level as well as a technical one.”(©Chip Withrow, musesmuse)

new loops for the studio
Jun 16, 2009 stevysound
Today I got a bunch of new loops for the studio on two portable hard drives. I’m pretty much an acidplanet.com guy really, never got great at producing but hopefully I can find some friends who are better at it than I am.
I like the way sony vegas makes it easy to edit loops to add or change things to video, makes it a lot easier to actually get a project done.
