I don't think I could live somewhere like that.
I'd just have stuff and clutter everywhere and minimalism+clutter just looks like you haven't moved in properly yet.

ha, yeah, functional too, or you could make mobiles out of them.
seriously though, I like them, very elegant and simple idea.
I presume they're hung in mid-air so you can walk around them and view them from different perspectives.

ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC / Re: the Strymon El Capistan tape looper pedal
« on: August 13, 2010, 11:27:53 am »i think for once i'll actually be responsible and see if i can create such effects on either of my Eventide units.. while not the grand daddy of eventides (the H8000) my units (the Eclipse and the classic H3000 D/SE) might be able to handle delays with some unpredictable pitch shifting and filtering
if not. .. well, i may have to kiss $300 goodbye.. but i should at least humor myself (and my wife) and get my hands dirty programming..
or you could stick your favorite delay plug-in into audiomulch taking different feeds off it and modulate/filter those to your hearts content.
the pedal would be nice in a live set up all the same.
not sure I'd get much use out of it at home as to warrant the cost.
this is the kind of pedal I try to model in MSP + Reaktor. It is very hard to do: easy of use, quality of sound, transparency of control (I don't really wanna hear LFOs forcing everything around). The beauty of this thing is in its balance of simplicity & complexity - this is, at least by my "haven't used it" measure, a well designed piece of kit, but we are all in love with it and not a one of us has fessed up to actually using it. yeah, we can hack up some crazy stuff in software, but there is a real elegance (and flexibility) to this thing that takes the pressure of making sure my/yr computer can do "everything."
and, while I'm sure our performance practices differ, I'd always take this to a gig.
yeah I'd agree with you Billy, I was just responding to Taylor's comment about programming.
I'd totally have it at a gig.
I've been mucking about a lot with pedals lately; delays, tremolos, fuzzes etc and enjoying just getting away from the computer.
Having so many options with the computer can sometimes be hindrance as well as a blessing.

Traffic noise is a particular bugbear of mine too, more so because I don't drive either.
Actually traffic in general is a bugbear of mine, it's such a primitive means of transport in this day and age.
There's literally nowhere you can go in Ireland to record without traffic noise creeping in from somewhere, unless you go to one of the islands off coast or get up very early in the morning.
Having moved out of the city a couple of years ago, I do sometimes miss that fug in the background, but I've been sleeping way better too.
