Liner Notes

Starting off today's efforts with a rough sketch using little bit of #frippertronics: an #ambient piece recorded in one take with absolutely no overdubs or tweaking afterwards, but which did involve a considerable amount of tap-dancing on effects pedals...

#stompboxes for the win!

Stomp boxes!!! Epic sound scape I love it!!!

@heliosonorous 1w

Really like the air in this one, lots of space while the guitar plays over it!

@philkmills 1w

Lovely atmosphere. It feels to me like going outside and taking a series of deep breaths.

Feels like an ascent in the fog towards a dawn sky. While the illuminated vapours caress my face, I keep looking up, arms stretched out to touch the sunlight.
Only real-time recordings allow that kind of enthusiasm and wonderment. Thanks for that great journey!

I love this stuff. Really beautiful atmosphere. Sucks you in and washes over you.

@orfeodream 1w

I very much appreciate the one-take-no-overdubs and frippertronics approach. I like the tone on both guitars, the background ambient swirling sounds, and the excellent timing and phrasing of the lead guitar.

@coolparadisoMod 1w

Very good, sounds anything but a sketch! A really nice piece.

@fuzzy 1w

Nothing like the real-time manipulation of actual effects pedals, IMHO.
Really great sound wash here.
The looped guitar is like someone playing in a distant room of an abandoned hotel.
Nice ascent here, as the title says.
Somehow joyous and hopeful.

This is a beautiful #frippertronics piece, Chris. When that lead guitar comes in around the 1:30 mark, it brings this to a whole other level. Wow. Just so beautiful!

See You In The Shadows…

p.s. You had me at one take no overdubs 😉
