A cycle of related work for acoustic guitar with live electronics
from Istanbul that invokes the map of composition with the
realities of live processing to create a moment that is always
finding itself through the act of collapsing and reassembling
into a lyrical and neo-impressionist sound canvas of melody and
colour.
Altered Realities is an album of solo acoustic guitar and
live electronics. All of the compositions were recorded in
real-time, directly to DAT (Digital Audio Tape) without any
overdubs, mixing, editing, post-processing, or the use of
previously recorded material. All of the textures were created
based only on the acoustic guitar signal with no other sound
source used during the recording. Within these textures, there
are long sustaining single notes, beautiful shimmering chords
and rhythmic clusters.
During the making of this album, Ovation Custom Legend 1869
acoustic guitar, TC Electronic Fireworx multi effects
processor, Behringer FCB1010 midi foot controller and the
software Audiomulch were used.
With no post-processing, no editing and no use of previously
recorded material, the moment that is recorded is the moment
that we hear on the cd.
