COMING HOME SESSION #3 | AMBIENT | Frippertronics Live Looping (Lyra 8 drums + drones)

Описание: Many months have passed since I recorded my last „Coming Home” session. Usually I dont even press record but just enjoy sitting down and having a dialogue with my beloved Lyra 8 as a form of meditation. There is a beauty in knowing that those frequencies just exist in that very moment and are then gone forever.
However I have stumbled over ‪@whirrings‬ Frippertronics video about a week ago where he explains how to set up a longer delay loop in Live. Inspired by it I immediately set it up myself and began to run sounds through it. Then I had the idea of using my “Coming Home” setup (Lyra - Microcosm - Rooms) and combine it with the frippertronic technique to create slow loops that fade over time. It was so much fun that I decided to set up the camera and press “rec”.
Almost done with setting up everything in my tiny space I switched on the Lyra and was blown away by the crackle it made which was then being looped. I decided that this would be the start of the performance. Throughout the session I turn the Lyra 8 on/off a couple of times to create rhythmic percussion elements that combine well with the typical drone sounds of the Lyra. I also love the amount of randomness and improvisation involved since I am running the crackles through the Microcosm & Rooms before it ends up in the loop.
Within the frippertronics FX send track I put a RC-20 plugin which adds a bit of saturation, drop outs and wobble every time the sounds loop through it and 2 auto filters (HPF/LPF) that let me tame some frequencies and emphasize others after the delay group.
(I cannot wait to experiment with all kinds of effects in the chain. The possibilities are endless)
Additionally to me performing I put in short video clips I recorded while I was on holiday at a very remote and peaceful place. Like in my Lyra sessions its one of these happy places I would go to in my head when the outside world gets too loud.
If you made it this far, thank you for sticking around. I hope this session helps you ease the mind. And to all the musicians: I strongly recommend experimenting with the frippertronic technique yourself! Take care!
