Hello, my name is Matt - welcome the Matthew Elvis Brown YouTube channel -
This one is a bit more fun!

After last week's Oscillation madness with generative music from the pedalboard line-up used here, as promised here is the same pedal line-up with a guitar plugged in to see how that sounds.... - still a precursor to Season 7 of PedalScapes -
Here is the result...

And talking of Precursors and how it sounds...
the levels were inconsistent with one side of the stereo capture - which needed fixing in post - as a result there are a few artefacts remaining in the final mix on that side of the stereo. All part of the learning process...

All of which began a quest to find and sort the issue - which will hopefully be resolved in time to produce a Part 3.

Working Title: Loco Motion.

User guide:

With these longer soundscapes the first minute or more is usually a clean sound check before gradually building up to the ambient improvisation - please give it a chance to build up and breathe.

It is recommended with these sonic explorations to have the video on in the background as more of a listening experience. But please do enjoy as you wish.

For ultimate listening experience use headphones or monitors if possible.

If you enjoy the music/video - please hit the thumbs up and subscribe / leave a comment...
