STICKY JAM #6 - SPLINTER DREAM (COMING AND GOING)

Simple dreamy loops, a shifting mood really. The fragmented textures are a granular abstraction from recordings I made using an electric kalimba and an Old Blood Noise pedal (Minim), with a simple guitar part added using an OTO BIM; this guitar part was then used to make a texture underneath, so 3 layers. Both these recorded parts were routed through the reverb of my vintage ROLAND VX-55.

The video uses two short loops re-filmed with my old VHS camera then cut over the top of my VHS copy of Memento through the Vidiot (there are parts of another film but I cannot remember what it was!). I used the old-school mixing on my old Roland V4 to layer the dancer and the background.

I was channelling that nebulous feeling of a lost bit of dream that you keep leaving and coming back to . . .

In the true nature of these demos, there is an extremely sticky bit where the guitar peaks and clips. I might re-record at some point.
