Distances Volume 1 - Night Sky

Released in August of 2021, Distances Vol. 1 is the 1st album of ambient pieces from TATC that originated from improvisational work in the Touch Guitar Circle.  The pieces were recorded between March 2021 and May of 2021. 


All sounds in the album were made from recorded audio of the u8 Touch Guitar through various combinations of hardware effects pedals, with some plugins applied during mixing.  Each piece was recorded in a single evening with no later overdubs or additional tracks.  Most tracks have loops created with hardware loopers, and additional tracks added during the recording session.  Most melody/solo parts are as recorded in the first take.

 

Many tracks feature the Strymon Nightsky and Volante pedals to create synth-like reverb and delay sounds and loops (as well as several other pedals/effects).
