Unfolding by john von published on 2023-04-10T16:26:15Z solo bass guitar no edits or overdubs I played bass and electronics with ambient music pioneer Jon Hassell from 2014-2020 and designed the final software-based iteration of his live/studio rig, which we used in the sessions for his last two albums, Listening to Pictures and Seeing Through Sound. Unfolding is the first track from my forthcoming album 'Ambient Bass Guitar' (to be released June 9 2023)which began to take shape in 2022 when I took the software setup I’d made for Jon and used it with my bass guitar, opening up new frontiers of sonic exploration. I also decided to take Jon’s approach to recording here: one take, with no edits or overdubs. He always felt that the best way to record was to catch the magic of the moment. All the sounds you hear were produced in real time using complex chains of processing and effects, a live dialogue between a musician and his computer. These sounds are made possible by advanced audio technologies but every note here was played by human fingers on metal strings. John von Seggern Los Angeles Feb 2023 Genre Ambient
