- This one is in depth!
Many of my students and folks who follow my work are curious about the techniques and ideas behind my extended loop-based improvisations. In this weeks video I’ll walk you step by step through an improvised loop-based piece and talk through what exactly I am thinking and doing in real time. Check it out!

Brilliant. Thanks!
now, this stuff is so inspiring! thank you! :)
Thank you Dan-I think I reach out to you. You only ever see it being done but not the “how” and being in the rural world still has consequences. Yes I can, read, but there is nothing more powerful than showing as I’m not sure I have a grasp on the language of this art.
Dan, love your whole series of looping videos. Gear question: in some of your Ableton looping videos, you mention using a Fryette box (which I assume you use to get line-level guitar sound into your interface). In other videos, I see that your amp is mic’d (which is another way to get guitar sound into Ableton). Could you explain more what you’re doing?
This is the most inspiring and thoughtful CZcams video on the subject of guitar looping-based improvisation I've yet come across - thank you Dan! I sent you a private email separately, as I would love to have a lesson(s) with you to dive more deeply into topics related to how I might expand my forays into soundscaping with a 6-string electric bass beyond the Ableton based feedback looping setup I have now. Would love the chance to gain some mentoring and instruction from you. All the best, Frank Paul (Vancouver, Canada)
Dan the Man !!
I love your insights👌👽👌!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I could listen to an album of this 🙏 well done
Thanks, Paul! Check out my albums VESSEL, Ephemera, and Silent City wherever you stream music or at Oceanographicrecords.bandcamp.com/
I'd second Dan here. Check his stuff out. Silent City is a masterpiece.
Great stuff Dan.
Love this, really interesting guitar. Many questions, I'll hit you up.
Awesome! Looking forward to it!
Ever thought about going modular? Processing your signal via a Make Noise Morphogene, 4ms Sampler or/and Mimeophon? The possibilities are endless - and you work via tabletop. It seems a logical step for your rig.
I’ve toyed with the idea but I think if I went down the modular route I might never come back...that’s a deep hole!!!
@@oceanographic Haha....true enough!
This is exactly the rabbit hole I've gone down, using VCV software instead of Eurorack/pedals. It's even better! The only limit is the performance of your computer. Imagine hooking up 24 delay pedals, and being able to control the delay time on all them with a single knob on a MIDI controller. Plus all the modular goodness - sample and hold, LFOs, envelope followers, hundreds of different filters etc. Unfortunately, I spend all my time upgrading my PC and making ridiculous FX patches instead of actual music. Hours of fun though. PS. Great video!
