Trying Out My New Vape

First Time Vaping & Recording!

So this is the first session I have recorded using my Christmas present – my new vape. I set the temperature to 200C, not too high, not too low, at least that is what I hope! After a few minutes of sucking, unsure as to whether anything is happening or not, the vaper turns itself off – leaving me feeling relaxed, and a bit spaced. The feeling I have got from the vape is very different to the feeling I get from smoking a joint, more laid back, less intense, much less anxiety, and no feeling of paranoia at all.… Read the rest

A Happy Ending!

No Particular Plan!

A new day, a new session – no plan, no particular objective – just gonna try to record an hour or so of something, and hope there is a track, maybe two, with so few mistakes, I can cut it out, and post it with my other best efforts.

I begin, as usual with some aimless chugging – chugging that tries to go into a gypsy sound – but soon fails!… Read the rest

Purple Page, Rock & Roll, & Some Screeching Phrygian!

Starting With Something New!

Seems I just started with no clear plan as to what I intended to do, maybe these sessions would be better with some structure – but that may take away some of the spontaneity that gives a certain flavor to everything. I start with some simple arpeggio, and create a loop like nothing I have ever tried before – so it is not terribly surprising I have no idea what to put on top of it – and the things I do try, don’t exactly work!… Read the rest

On The Path Of Giants!

Let’s start with Some Rock & Roll!

This session starts with with that familiar chugging sound I love making, at an ever increasing speed – at this point in time I still have no idea what song I am going to play. Today the chugging turns into a familiar rock and Roll rhythm, not for the first time, and probably not for the last! I manage to make a decent job of creating a rock and roll loop – and the first notes on top sound quite good – with only a little wobble or so.… Read the rest

A Short, But Not Too Bad Session!

Not My Best Ever improv Session!

I had to delete the first part of this session – because it was mostly plugging cables in, and unplugging them again, to try to find out what was causing a massive problem with the sound. I am still not sure I have sorted it out definitively, or if it just mysteriously disappeared, as it had so mysteriously appeared for no apparent reason. If it is not sorted, it will no doubt decide to happen again at the most inconvenient moment, as it did last night!… Read the rest

Rocking Hard & Dirty!

Thoroughly enjoyed playing this session, I could feel I was making less mistakes, and things were smoother and going well. Maybe because I had smoked a spliff, but hadn’t drunk a beer yet before I started – Too much beer doesn’t seem to help a lot – lol

The session starts with me searching my guitar pedal for a nice rocky sound. I am looking for the sound I was using the day before, but I can’t remember its name!… Read the rest
