With a nod and a tilt to…

Finally getting around to giving my Christmas present a workout! I got a TEC Breath and Bite controller 2. Here I try it out for atmospherics on this almost ambient piece.

This is really fun. I can already control two things from my guitar by where I pick and by the MIDI volume knob. The breath and bite controller (hereafter just “breath controller”) adds four more very expressive controls, bite, breath, tilt, and nod. The first 45 seconds is setting up the loop, then the synth comes in, Dmitry Sches’s excellent Thorn, controlled by the guitar and the breath controller.
