Recently had to change doctors because my old doctor decided to go pro in soccer, which would be funny except my new doctor won't just let me take the medications I've already been on for years and wants to start all over. These aren't even drugs that can be used recreationally so I don't get it. There are very few doctors in my area that take my insurance so I'm kinda stuck. The anxiety has killed my creativity recently.
But finally I just decided to play guitar without thinking and not worry about the outcome. When I stop fretting about the end result, I think I make better music. Yeah this track is mostly in mono and the kicks are drowned out by the guitar amp, but I like it anyway. The video was made using a hardware video synth called the sleepy circuits hypno, I patched it so the music would line up with what's showing up on the screen and put a webcam in front of the looping song. I'm filming the output with my phone on an old monitor to add to the nostalgic feeling.
The Lofi sound was made by slowing the loop down til it was nice and crunchy and then adding some wow and flutter on top. I used a pedal called the Blooper to do all of that and the looping.
Sounds cool; very trippy.
...also, congratulations on reminding me that my broke ass still wants a Chase Bliss Generation Loss, even though lofi whatever-wave really isn't my style. I don't know, maybe sometimes a thrash song just needs a warbly fucked up intro that sounds like it was recorded on an old VHS tape and then onto a cheap tape deck and then played back on a dying Walkman. Right? Right?!
Lol that pun was totally unintentional.
Lofi pedals are fun regardless of the genre honestly. I bet there's some black metal guitarists who use the gen loss and just are afraid to say so publicly for fear of losing metal cred. Also look into the new Chase Bliss Lossy pedal too, it's also lofi but digital lofi instead of physical lofi emulations.
I could totally see that. Chvse Blvss Gvn Lvss
