BIBIO - BARITONE GUITAR AMBIENT SESSION

I decided to adapt 3 tracks for a live ambient session, all using the same Gibson Baritone Les Paul guitar, an instrument which has been a unique component to some of my ambient guitar tracks for the past 9 years, as well as being an important sound of Silver Wilkinson, The Green EP and some of Phantom Brickworks.

First is an ambient rendition of 'You Won't Remember...', followed by 'Capel Celyn' and a version of 'Carbon Wulf'.

The original recordings used a slightly different method, but I have adapted these to work as a live session, allowing me to control additional elements with my feet. 'Capel Celyn' and 'Wulf' use various tape machines and tape loops for the additional layers, which I'm fading in and out of the mix with a collection of Coopersonic fader pedals.

The tape machines used in this video are (from top to bottom): Sony TC-377, Nagra IV-S, Nagra SN (the small one with spinning reels), and a Nagra III.
