about

Crystalline Depths is a continuation of my explorations into the textural possibilities of the bass guitar. This two-part piece plunges the listener down into a figurative ethereal cavern, where mysterious vapours flow and otherworldly crystal formations coat the walls.

Each track was recorded live with the bass guitar as the only sound source. E-Bows, Soma Cosmos and Red Panda Particle FX pedals, as well as Moogerfooger plugins, were used for live processing of bass sounds. Ableton Live was used for routing, looping and live recording capture, as well as some additional reverb. The stereo captures from Ableton were then lightly edited and mastered for release. Absolutely no synthesisers, samples or other electronic sound sources were used on this release.
