“TapeScapes” Ambient Guitar Meditation with Hybrid Frippertronics

Описание: Frippertronics is a well known system popularized by Robert Fripp and Brian Eno. It is one of the most popular tools for making soundscapes, drone music and ambient in general.

My Hybrid Frippertronics consists of the Strymon Timeline (as the first unit) and Marantz Superscope three head CD-330 cassette tape recorder (as the second unit). The Timeline sets the offset for the tape recorder to record and play the signal that in the original Frippertronics was set by the distance between two real recorders.

The feedbacking signal is set in the RME software TotalMix – the higher level the tape recorder feeds back to itself the longer the decay (repetitions).
Some guitar stomp boxes like the Strymon Volante, the Strymon Bigsky and the Hologram Microcosm were connected in parallel and their signals were not sent into the Frippertronics loop, but only heard in the mix.
I extensively usd the Digitech Whammy V to make two semitones bends up and down.

My guitar is equipped with the Fernandes Sustainer, that’s where the synth-like sound periodically coms from.
