Report from the e-violin front: Was using a recording of a drum and bass track as a sorta metranome backup today. A minor sounding hypnotic loop. Had a ridiculous amount of reverb echos set to the same time interval as the recording and was trying to weave them into stacked harmonies. I was just starting to figure out a few tricks and get a nice feel going when all the devices went dead along with power to the whole place.
It turned out a squirrel had crossed poles on the transformer outside, shorting out the whole place as well as frying his furry ass. Eventually the power co. came and put a small cage device around the poles to prevent repetition.. everywhere ya turn is another music critic eh?
