Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

There was a local guy around here who used to play sets with just the Octatrack... whenever I see one I think "is this powered by autism or amphetamines?"... jokes aside, that thing seems powerful.



Once you get all the elements you want loaded into the Octatrack, there are so manny things that can be done on just that one machine. Really fun :)
 
thanks, i quite enjoyed that (and another, shorter, one i saw).

i had no idea they were that nuts, kinda like that.

the whole promo thing for "tomorrow's harvest" made me think of some the plot of william gibson's "pattern recognition" . . .

Really does!

Some indie types in the Nashville scene have started a ‘music television’ show called Swill TV. Corny jokes, but reminds me of old public access punk rock shows from way back when. The second video in this episode is my post punk band, Prayer Flags…if you’re really bored. One of my favorite Nashville rock bands, Slump Test, are in here as well

A very non-ambient influence has passed. Joey Jordison.
I've probably listened to more Murderdolls than Slipknot, but the guy had a legacy any way you look at it.
I’ve never bee in into drummers much but he will always leave a legacy to me… his drum work was pretty unique and just memorable on the first two slipknot albums and he wrote some material for the roadrunner United CD as one of the “team captains”… RIP
