Fleksi - Minnesota (live looping video on IOS)
It's been a few months since I've posted anything. I've been working on a new one over Christmas but I've just finished this one that's been on the back burner since October. Finally done.
Apps used:
Loopy, Samplr, 3 x Turnado hosted in Audiobus.

Hey, cool performance! I like the switch to the second bassline.
Cheers man. Actually that switch wasn't even there originally. It's just that my mate (the drummer) doesn't normally play alongside electronic music so he wanted an electric bass Bassline to latch onto for a stretch of the song.
Because I can't play guitar and bass at the same time I had to record it into Samplr and launch it from there. I'm glad I did it.
Oh dear, haha just realised that I was talking about another video I'm working on at the moment that indeed has a live drummer on it.
Yes, it is nice to dramatically alter the groove but the step up would be also to change the key or/and the time signature.
I'm going to have to spend more time on tracks, perfecting them rather than just moving onto the next.
I'm feeling like I'm talking to myself in an empty room. Hello?!
Nice one. Makes me want to try some live looping... just need to learn to play some instruments....
Great job man!
Always a treat to see your work!
Great! And quite a feat keeping track of everything that you are doing.
Cheers man. These things take ages to put together and hours to sink on the social media these days. I'd hate to be a full time content maker.
I used to think being a teacher was a hardest job but maybe I was wrong?
Excellent, very inspirational. Without wishing to dismiss your music too swiftly, I like (a) your very tidy rig and (b) your very tidy cables on the wall... is it always so, or just for the video?
How are you triggering loopy? With your feet I presume? Are you also using a foot controller to drop things in and out of the mix in audiobus?
Haha, Eagle eye! I put on all those video effects to make it look tidy! But yes tidiness in the studio is very important to my sanity albeit my wife would definitely beg to differ!
I have a McMillen’s softstep on the floor triggering a couple of loops in loopy, some filters, Audiobus transport and novation circuit. Some of the switches are mapped to Audiobus mutes and indeed are super useful for bringing up parts in and out.
Korg nanopad right in front of me (not visible) for some other loopy bindings, vocal delay etc. Then nanokontrol for turnadoes etc.
I have many of Turnado’s parameters mapped but end up using one knob mapped to dictator as it brings a bit of randomness to the mix.
@supadom You're right about things dropping off the social planet in a few hours; I only just saw this for the first time
Your work (to me) when seen on these occasional (almost claustrophobic) videos is always such a feat of the actual doing of it, the modern one-man-band with all of the moving parts. Like an acrobat making tea while leaping and all in time. Impressive.
For all of that, I would like to hear the 'studio' versions of some of your tunes. This piece for example felt a little long, but if we were in a field somewhere on a summer's day and you were thrashing it out while I got my stoned gaze on I'm sure I'd love it just as it is (or even more so).
Do you ever let the acrobat rest and record simply for the recording/end product, track by track etc? Not that you should, by the way, just coming from the other end of the spectrum entirely, I'm interested in your process etc.
Thanks! Believe me it can be confusing to be doing it too. Sometimes I put that ‘what now?’ face, which probably and thankfully only I know of.
@supadom Funky as F*%K! Your stuff is always grooving + breathing in such a natural way.. can't quite describe it but I LOVE the results.. and thanks for giving us a glimpse of you live - one take..
You've obviously spent much time perfecting this rig to get it setup so it's more an extension of what you do.. pretty much everything is played live or sequenced live and then tweaked for the performance.. in that moment..
It's the sounds and the groove but it's also the presentation and the potential for something to not work that draws you in.. Will the loops start exactly where you need them once they've been stopped? Will the whole thing start when you push the button? L-I-V-E just can't be beat.. anything can happen.. disasters to happy accidents..
Couple of questions..
What are the guitar + vocals being fed into?
What's the red + green lights flashing (in time) on your lower right?
Oh, and what guitar is that?
Great stuff and look forward to more..
You’re right. It would be good to put this on vinyl. Not that I haven’t thought of that it’s just that I wasn’t quite sure how to go about it. Until now.
I’ve just bought a 16 in 16 out FireWire interface which will allow me to record all of my outs separately. Even when recording properly I’d tend to go with live takes which then can be tweaked and processed as a multitrack project.
In fact from an artist’s perspective I’d see it very helpful as a way to focus the splattered mess that’s been coming out until now.
An album would require some kind of coherent line to be followed. Possibly musicians to get in. All in all more structure and planing as opposed to getting behind a wheel and driving.
This is what’s possibly been stopping me until now. The static process of tracking in a daw. I’ve spent years doing that in pre-kids times and felt completely liberated having discovered Audiobus and co.
Having said that I like both.
From this different and far field all I would say is keep on.
@supadom
What is the Minnesota connection of this work? Asking from Minneapolis 😉
Ha! Busted!
No connection whatsoever. When I write songs I use random filler words in the first draft and then build the lyrics from there. Most of them are replaced but some stick around. I find it helps me with coaxing out and nailing some of my brain's musings without being too specific. I find being specific sometimes kills the idea for the listener to identify with the song. At least for me as a listener.
Minnesota could be any other country, state, town or person. I guess I stereotyped an American as he/she is perceived by the world through social media lens. You know the guns, the Hollywood and the mass consumption without much thought about the consequences. It could in fact be anywhere else in the so called 'developed' world including the UK (where I am). I kept Minnesota partly because of the rhymes it gave me: Minnesota, a lotta!
. Probably it's only me who finds it funny! 
Hey man, sorry for replying late.
Thanks! Yes, cliff edge stuff this looping is!
That's what most likely what's drawing me to it. Being in the moment in time, capturing moments of time, messing with them and letting them go. Easily done in music but not so easy in real life.
The guitar and vocals go into Akai EIE's inputs and are fed into audiobus. I have turnado on vocals and guitar has a multi effect pedal (zoom g3) before the input. Then both audiobus lanes have loopy on the output.
I have a fairly simple way then to route just recorded loops through turnado when I wan't to modify the sound after the capture or to change the dynamics when I'm running through vocal verses or buildups etc. It's nice to put some delay to broaden the stereo image for example. Turnado is something I use a lot and have zero issues with.
The flashing thing is Korg kaoss pad mini s2. I have Novation Circuit running through it. I should use it more but it needs setting tempo manually and has a tiny screen which can be a pain to navigate while playing but is nice for occasional delays, distortions etc. I wanted a bigger kaoss pad but it wouldn't fit on the table!!
The guitar is a modest Harley Benton that I bought new about a year ago for very little money. It has P90's on it and I find it very easy to play. I also have (white!) Stagg Big Tone hollow body I bought for $70 that is close to my most favourite guitar ever. Every time I play it a tune or a riff comes out. Priceless. It feels very much like an acoustic which is probably what makes me like it.

Definitely. I have another tune ready for upload.
