Hi, and welcome to RoughMix 099 which is called "In the Darkness".

This episode focuses on a clip I recorded on my Palm Tungsten, which only records in mono - you do not get much rougher than that.

I was in particular playing around with arpeggios and then some tapping trying to create a sense of rhythm that almost made it sound like more than one instrument was playing. It was all recorded on the fly - what you hear is the first time I played any of this. The words are merely there to try and capture a potential melody line.

In this case the guitar is more like percussion than anything else in particular.

And this brings me to my tip for this episode - feel free to do strange things with your instrument - you will get results that can be surprising and whether good or bad it will teach you something that you can put to use later.

So enjoy this clip, complete with ambient background noise.

So there you have it, play around yourself a bit, and feel free to share your results with us here at http://RuffMix.com
