Rhythmic Ambient Style Guitar Looping

[echoecho]

Hey guys, I just recently recorded this looping session. It moves a little quickly for a normal "ambient" piece but I think it has the elements of an ambient composition. Let me know what you think

[echoecho]

Here is what I am doing with the looper:

1. The rhythmic part was pre-recorded into Loop 3 of the looper pedal
2. I recorded the first guitar part into Loop 2 of the looper pedal using the Stereo Wet reverb
3. I stopped Loop 2 from playing and recorded swells in a reverse chord progression (B,C#m,A,C#m) into Loop 3 of the looper pedal
4. I reversed Loop 3 so the swells will start playing in the desired chord progression order (C#m,A,C#m,B) and I start Loop 2 back
5. I play over my loops using the Vick Audio Tree of Life OD, El Capistan, DD20, and Keeley Aurora Reverb
6. I stop Loop 3 and then Fade Out Loop 1, Leaving only Loop 2 playing
7. I apply an octave down effect to Loop 2 and then play some swelled notes over that

Nice job! Great ambient/ post rock mix. Amazing that it was a live looping session.

Hi Nathan,

Kind of reminded me of the sort of stuff that Oceansize did from time to time. not as "ambient" as that, but very similar.

Great video, and music, of course.

cheers

Thank you! Yeah, I was recording through the SM57's. I really need to make time to record an album!

Thanks for the great feedback! I try to do a live session whenever I can although it can be super challenging.
