This is an extended and uncut live improvised performance and exploration with the Synthesis Technology E520 prototype. I was playing my guitar into the modular going dry into the looper on the E520 and then into some additional delay and reverb FX to wash out the live guitar and looped sounds.

The purpose for the video is to explore the tape degradation FX with overdubbing SOS (sound on sound) loops which is a feature in the stereo looper mode on the E520. The guitar was deliberately simple with the aim of overdubbing many layers of dynamic and melodic material that would disintegrate into the tape.
