Online Release Series: All Tiny Creatures Solo/Live

Posted on | May 17, 2010

We in All Tiny Creatures create a lot of music, but don’t have the means or desire to officially release it all. With the Online Release Series we hope to let those who are interested in on stuff that might not otherwise make it onto a physical release, but that we still think makes an interesting listen. Our second installment is: All Tiny Creatures Solo/Live, featuring live solo performances from Thomas Wincek and Andrew Fitzpatrick.

Thomas Wincek
Solo Performance for Self-Amplified Acoustic Guitar and Computer

This performance was done by Thomas Wincek on an Acoustic Guitar wired up with specific drivers that allow it to be self-amplified. This means that all of the sound, including the vocal clips and live effects processing are coming through the guitar, with no amplifier. There is no prerecorded music or sounds in this performance, the only exception being the vocal clips which feature stories told by people from the Wisconsin area, mostly about the rural way of life and the music they love. Like the computer effects processing, these are triggered and manipulated at various times throughout the set by Wincek, using a variety of control devices hooked up to the computer.

Andrew Fitzpatrick
Solo Performance for Electric Guitar, Computer and Effects

Both performances recorded live at The Project Lodge in Madison, Wisconsin with a Zoom H4 handheld recorder.
