Techno Track #3 - Live looping with Octatrack Mk2

Описание: This is one thing that I've wanted to try for a long time: combining techno with live looped acoustic instruments, in this case percussion. But it took a certain nudge that really got me to do it. And this came when a foundation was doing a project here in southwest Germany to help musicians because of their loss of income due to Corona.

1000 artists could upload a video of a newly created song / track and would receive a fee for it. I was one of them and this video is my contribution. The contributions of all artists were shown on a “mega video clip” of 67.5 hours. The genres covered the entire spectrum of music, from classic, jazz, folk, pop to heavy metal and techno. Unfortunately, the project is no longer online.

One prerequisite for participation was, that the song could be performed live. And the video should show the artist during the performance. So I couldn't just create a track and upload it. I needed a way to perform it.
I have experimented with live looping several times in the last few years. But those were always pop songs where I was using floor pedal loopers like the Boss RC 50 or the very good Boomerang Phrase Sampler. I have uploaded a ten years old video of me, live looping a song by Lenny Kravitz on guitar, drums and violin. It is a “hidden track” ond this channel, because it is to far away of what I´m doing nowadays.    • Boss Loop Contest 2010  

Also the techno live looping is not a path that I plan to follow at the moment, but who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
