A new one from me - EP titled 'The Dub Chamber' - 4 tracks of deep dub goodness. Plenty of bass, reverbs and delays, saturation and glitchy noise.

A 'live' jam on a dub X-Files / Simpsons crossover.

The loops were created in Synapse Audio's 'Orion', and triggered inside Ableton Live with various effects via two MIDI controllers - an Evolution UC33 (on the left), and a Behringer BCR2000 (on the right). Audio interface is a MOTU Ultralite mk3. Also pictured but not used is a Korg NanoPad (white controller under the UC33).

Fairly simple setup - two VST synths, drums, glitchy noise, bass synth, delay, reverb, and acoustic guitar.

I had the synth and drum lines pre-written and just brought the faders up on the channels. Played the looping bass in live, and improvised the guitar parts. Hadn't touched the guitar in a few months so the parts are pretty rusty, need to practice some more before next time.

Leap Motion 2 +Glover MIDI conversion software controlling Bitwig + effect parameters, giving hands-free, hand tracking control of scene selection, effect sends, effect parameters, drum fills and cymbals.

A completely improvised live dub jam, using guitar-to-MIDI software to play softsynths via the guitar.
