A meditation on pacing.
2022-06-20For those who may be curious, this is my main guitar setup - the rig I’ve used for all of the Output before Input recordings.
The guitar is a Valley Arts custom Strat clone. The amp is a Yamaha THR-10C with a chip-modded TS-9/808 tube screamer in front. I love this setup because the amp sounds amazing and I can record it direct to the computer using the “voice memo” app with minimal fuss.

One of the things I love about guitar is how much you can do/imply with just three notes (in this case, one melody and two harmony) and two hands. I used to be a maximalist with harmony but lately I’ve been exploring how much the ear will fill in by itself.

I had a dream that my teeth kept falling out because they’d secretly been dentures and I hadn’t known. I think it influenced this sketch - centered around an unstable tonal foundation.
