I've started a legitimate side-project that is crazier than my others.
Live, one-take psych/noise rock made using only my cheap guitar, and whatever effects I can find.


Already did a ten minute song for it, during which the following happens:
I play the guitar with a pen
I completely detune the guitar
I unplug the guitar for several seconds
I nearly break my high E string just to get a neat sound
I retune my guitar


Will anyone listen to it?
Probably not.
Is it fun to make?
Fucking yes.

And its shit like this that defines a musician from just someone who can play a guitar.

Improvised?
You could structure it and get better results. Also to get better sound quality from you could put the oscillating thing on a different amp and just let it go as if feeds back on itself. A looping station could also grant you a similar effect.
Its a great direction but you need to retain some inklings of musicality to get people to listen to you. The first minute is pretty interesting.
I do a performance bit to kill time where I use chorus, reverb, delay and a looper to accent guitar noise and create a beach soundscape.

Structuring is for faggots.

Musicality is for faggots.

This shit is for me, and nobody else.
