Subject: RE: Wanted: not a piano
once you start using multi-tracking as an instrument in its right, you're in between worlds anyway

The quote is from me (18 Mar 12 - 01:05 PM) & I think you're way off with respect of the sort of thing you desribing, with all due respect to what you do. I'm talking of another level of musical intimacy facilated by the ready availability of cheap but (very) effective recording equipment & software that negates the need for recording studio whilst becoming part of the musical process, both virtual & corporeal. What I'm talking about is a creative process that can take place on your SOFA, on a lap-top, running the most basic of software. For £30 you can get a soundcard to interface with basic hardware and you're off into the outer-limits. For the price of a few hours studio time (and a little nouce) you're set up for life basically.

Here's that link again. It's just self-sampled uke & pocket trumpet processed (looped / filtered in real time) through my old lite version of Ableton Live (Remix) bought for £20 or so back in 2002 just to see what all the fuss was about.
