Ascent
Liner Notes
Starting off today's efforts with a rough sketch using little bit of #frippertronics: an #ambient piece recorded in one take with absolutely no overdubs or tweaking afterwards, but which did involve a considerable amount of tap-dancing on effects pedals...
#stompboxes for the win!

Really like the air in this one, lots of space while the guitar plays over it!
Lovely atmosphere. It feels to me like going outside and taking a series of deep breaths.
Feels like an ascent in the fog towards a dawn sky. While the illuminated vapours caress my face, I keep looking up, arms stretched out to touch the sunlight. Only real-time recordings allow that kind of enthusiasm and wonderment. Thanks for that great journey!
I love this stuff. Really beautiful atmosphere. Sucks you in and washes over you.
I very much appreciate the one-take-no-overdubs and frippertronics approach. I like the tone on both guitars, the background ambient swirling sounds, and the excellent timing and phrasing of the lead guitar.
Very good, sounds anything but a sketch! A really nice piece.
Nothing like the real-time manipulation of actual effects pedals, IMHO. Really great sound wash here. The looped guitar is like someone playing in a distant room of an abandoned hotel. Nice ascent here, as the title says. Somehow joyous and hopeful.
This is a beautiful #frippertronics piece, Chris. When that lead guitar comes in around the 1:30 mark, it brings this to a whole other level. Wow. Just so beautiful!
See You In The Shadows…
p.s. You had me at one take no overdubs 😉
A magnificent spaceflight for the ears...really digging the atmosphere here! Very nice!
Nice! I hadn't heard #frippertronics before, totally makes sense to get a one shot athmospheric track!
Stomp boxes!!! Epic sound scape I love it!!!
