looper practice

In May I played a short improvised set here, behind that big white sheet:

I didn't really have any grasp as to how to make Live loop the way I needed to in 7, so my piano/howling/badly-played guitar combination got synced to the master tempo, got out of sync with me, and sounded like a jumbled, unlistenable mess.

I am practicing ways to deal with this in the future using newer software. No edits were done here. I'm also posting it as a WAV because it's not really a (finished) product. Just imagine that it's dark out, there are some drawings on the sheet, and I'm making high-pitched noises with my voice and it's just like you were there.

Two songs from last December. I was going to perform some more stuff like this, but it instead became an event at which Bryan and I played exciting records and when I tried writing another kind of like it I found myself at a complete and total loss for ideas, so I moved on. Either open tunings and delays lead to good ideas or the same one repeated indefinitely.

Iris says that this was the loneliest-looking chair she'd seen. The actual paper has a lot more whitespace. If I ever make anything spare enough this will be the cover.
