probably not for most of you, i started as sound/noise artist
using found sound, than i moved onto guitar based soundscapes and now im using electric ukulele (konablaster).

That's really nice, I like those pieces. I had an idea to do something similar, incorporating my uke with my modular synths, I just haven't gotten a module that will bump up the levels of the uke yet.

thanks ! thats cool. Ya i use basic guitar amp and pedals and my electric uke and just multi track or loop and layer the sounds :)
 
Yeah, this stuff is cool. Dreamy, atmospheric, relaxing (for me at least), star-gazing stuff. Keep up the good work

Dude, that's awesome! I have been into this type of music a lot lately and never really tried it on uke. What's your pedal setup like?

basically konablaster plugged into my comp
with a guitar link USB than I use any guitar amp modeling
and effects pedals and some of the digital reverbs
which are vst or part of the daw. a few years back
when I used electric baritone guitar
I plugged my line 6 spider amp into my comp
directly than used a set up of pedals and the effects
from the line 6 I find using this digital modeling
set up now easier and I get the same and even cleaner
results. ya it's a very interesting genre
I have been doing this for 5 years now.

and mostly different echo delay and reverb
effects I basically multi track layers
or just keep live looping as I go.
