Darkroom Ambient Podcast - Free Music From Ambient/avant-garde Improvisers Darkroom

The first part of a two part rehearsal extract from May 2006. This piece is driven by a nice bass pulse from about 2 minutes in. There are some sequenced-sounding elements but it's all guitar, processed live in Ableton Live. We were also trying out a new version of my alternating delay plug-in, 'Meringue'.

Essentially a segment of a rehearsal recording from November 25th 2004, edited and with a few extra layers applied. Copyright 2006 Darkroom. Composed and performed by Michael Bearpark and Andrew Ostler.

Recorded in a rehearsal session 11th May 2006. What you are hearing is Mike's guitar being processed and looped live by Os's laptop. Despite the elapsed time since the original two 'calling cards' were recorded (almost a year), this seems to fit very nicely alongside them, hence the name. Software: Ableton Live, Expert Sleepers Augustus Loop. Copyright 2006 Darkroom. Composed and performed by Michael Bearpark and Andrew Ostler.

Excerpt from a rehearsal for the Zürich Loopfest 2005 (see http://loopfestival.com/). The two "Calling Card" tracks were prepared for a pre-festival promo cd.
