Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

My friend is the "goes 6 months without responding to a text" type so unfortunately it might be a while.

Ouch. It’s stuff like that that got me into sequencing, loops, and virtual instruments. At some point, I’d rather get something made than worry about how it was assembled.
 
At around 6:44 (you are, of course, invited to listen to the whole thing and download the album for free if it doesn't suck) of this track I used a Saturnworks feedbacker pedal to get the Boss SY-1 to feed back into itself to create some good weirdness. I think I had some other stuff in the loop as well, probably a delay or reverb at the very least.

I wanted to like that one, but as discussed way back in the thread, I got a unit that had the dreaded "hiss/noise" issue and it was too much for me to handle. I wanted a really clean digital delay.

This reminds me that I need to upload the Noise Engineering multi tap delay firmware on my Versio.

i'm learning how to deal with that with the morphagene. i think the mimeophon is pretty boss. i'd love it if they did a true stereo reverb with similar cv functionality.

which versio do you have?

back in the 80s, i was on tour in europe and to get there we took icelandic air (they were cheap, had good legroom for the 6-footers in the band and had the best food—free cognac after dinner!). it stopped in reykjavik, where the airport was full of puffin paraphernalia. pretty funny. that and all the travelers hammering down beer at 8:00 a.m. and such. never ate there, so i didn't see puffin on the menu.
 
Pulled out the modular beast and started playing around with the Erica Black Sequencer and QuBit Bloom. I was able to get totally lost drifting away for a solid 30-40 minutes. It was a big leap to jump into the eurorack world but I’m glad I finally did it way back when.

While I was jamming away I remembered I have a new common-wall neighbor in my apartment as of today. My previous neighbor was pretty tolerant of my musical shenanigans, even when I probably got louder than I should. Nobody started banging on the wall tonight, which is a good sign. But I guess there’s no hiding the fact I operate an alien robot factory from my new neighbor :)

I live in a townhouse, which is okay, except for two things: I want a garage, and I want to be able to turn up loud, and I can do neither here. Somebody did call the cops on me for noise one night, but it was weird because all I was doing that night was watching TV.
