This is another personal breakthrough for me. I had previously discovered the joys of using a PC to record music but now I took another creative leap by getting into loop manipulation software, which allows you to mix and match pre-recorded drum loops and create whole new sounds. For me this was a revelation, as I didn’t have to worry about my terrible drum programming again.
Also, I treated myself to a Roland VG-8, a virtual guitar modelling unit.
So with all this new kit and software I began to get into a more loopy, rhythmic brand of instrumental. “Loops and Scales” is quite dancey in comparison to some of the other things I have done and I like it it a lot but I really come into my own with the “Birdsong” suite.
Overall, this CD is one of my favourites.
