SBS365: an original solo piece
I improvised this piece in my kitchen, recording live into the Zoom H4 from a couple of feet away. The recording quality is surprisingly good, and the piece hangs together well enough, with a couple of themes and a little bit of development. It’s always…
In Peace
“In Peace” is a simple song with a beautiful sound: two Melody Maker harmonicas overlaid via loop recording, both played through a Fireball V mic into a Digitech RP355 running my FBAROT patch, which consists of a Bassman amp model with a rotating speaker effect….
Lo Rider Solo (with Looper and 3 Digitech RPs)
I recorded this Lee Oskar song, one of my favorite jam platforms, live into my Zoom H4 at the same rehearsal where I recorded It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry. All the parts except the percussion loop are played…
It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry
I record myself practicing as a matter of habit, and the piece linked below is the first thing I play on stage and in practice: Bob Dylan’s “It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry.” This arrangement is mine, and is…
Richard Hunter with One Ton Pig: “Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down”
I played last night (August 2 2011) with One Ton Pig, my bluegrass friends (actually, they refer to what they do as “Chicken-Fried-Prison-Music,” but bluegrass is easier to place in context for most people) at the Silver Dollar in Jackson, Wyoming. I recorded the first…
Fixin’ to Live
Here’s a rough mix of a tough instrumental blues, “Fixin’ to Live,” by myself and my brother Mark Hunter. This piece began life as a solo slide guitar recording by my brother. I added bass, drums, and harmonica. The harmonica is recorded through an Audix…
A coupla new clips with 3 amp modelers
I’ve been trying various configuration of multiple amp modelers lately. In these clips, I’m using a Digitech RP355 and a Zoom G2NU for the main sound generators, with a Digitech RP255 at the end of the FX chain. I’ve been using Digitech amp modelers for…
Richard Hunter: Widow’s Walk
Video of the Day #1 March 27 2011: Richard Hunter/Billy the Kid
Recorded live at the Virigina Harmonicafest on March 18 2011. A little grainy in both sound and image, but a good performance overall. I’m using a Fireball V mic with a Digitech RP255; the RP255 is set up to do a short slapback delay plus…
What a Show at the VA Harmonicafest
I played my second solo electric show, and the first using prerecorded loops on the looper, at the Virginia Harmonicafest last night. It was also my first live show with my new amped setup, which includes three Digitech RPs, two in parallel, one at the…
