Guys thank you for the links and audio samples
Joe Wilder, I'll ask you 1001 questions when they'll pop up, thanks sir
I'm a "real" musician (I beleive), and as I grow older I want to devellop my craft to a certain degree of mastering. I think I have done that with the instrument itself (feel free to ask me any question about repairment/setting/tips) but the other thing, which is almost "another world" is all the physics behind. So not only is the playing important, with a care of motion efficiency, of emotion also (we have a soul); all that translate to a signal. I'm all about the vibration.
Sound propagation in 3D space, obstacles and everything from the knobs on the guitar to LFOs on a synthetizer and mastering a production with tools and a SSL mixing board.
That kind of stuff [...]
Signal-wise and "science-wise" I'm also very interested in the feild of cymatics, which is the study of frequencies on physical matters (fluid, solids, ...).
At a certain point, I want to make a little melting pot of those "experiements" to create some really cool and refreshing music. For that matter, I have chosen not to rely on the famous 440hz tuning anymore, because it does not translate correctly in matter when you view it with cymatics.
Another part of my interestment is of course the signal from my guitar to the amplifier. I'm really into the "sinusoidale quest" if you will. But I'm not a purist, it's not for a trend or anything. I love my transistor amp and will never get rid of it, but I'm looking for new things to explore. I also use a GT-10, that's a great guitar processor and it's best used with a tube amp, in the fx loops, for effects. I'm really digital when it comes to time-based effects.. but again in a tube amp, with a so-called "4CM method", you get interesting result and preserve the signal.
And for my visual pleasure, how can one not like the glow of some tubes ?
Btw, I do not fear square, triangle and other waves. I'm "metal" guitar guy but also like very much classical music and also electronic-based music like hip-hop, dubstep, playing around with filters and stuff (I'm a reason 6 user, if anyone knows what it is..).
So yeah, not trying to fit a "rocker endoctrination" with tube amps. heheh
with that said, I'm studing electrical engineering technics and gonna focus more on programming automates and work with motors and that kind of stuff. I think I can put an amp togetter but I'll gladly abuse your help if you share the passion
