This is a little ambient improvisation created using the M-VAVE FM-1 using one of the piano presets. It was fed into Eventide Blackhole reverb plugin with a little tape emulation added and that was fed into a tape looping plugin I created via Flow Music. It’s called ReelVox A77 and it emulates the tape-to-tape loop setup favoured by Terry Riley and Brian Eno, among others. I’ve been refining this VST plugin using the Google AI platform Flow Music and I’ve managed to create the looping plugin I’ve always wanted. I can set the tape loop up to 30 seconds (though I can increase this to any length, but 30 seconds is more than enough for my needs), there’s varispeed control so I can speed up and slow down the tape loop, I can reverse the tape loop and even freeze the loop so that I can solo over it without any loop degradation.

So here’s the noodle here, which I’ve entitled “Beside the Sea” due to the waves at the end (also provided by the M-VAVE FM-1).
