Last weekend, I played in the Sint-Joriskerk in Antwerpen, during the wedding-celebration of my wife's brother.

The first song was a new composition, titled "Silver Droplets". While practising, the couple was pleased with a fragment I was playing, dubbing it "bubbles". While "Soap Bubble" came to mind, this title was highly unfit to start a lasting marriage. So I proposed the droplets. Here you can listen to the re-recording.

I also played a new arrangement of Groente-afscheid. The title had to change obviously and I chose "Floating Dream".

I performed it all live, using the Jamman looper pedal to layer the voices in realtime. I'm quite pleased with the result, apart from the fact that to do a real sound-on-sound recording, I have to hit the pedal twice: once to start the loop and a second time to switch into overdub mode. And you can not change this.

A nice feature of the pedal is that it functions as an external USB-drive, into which you can (after some minor preparation) drop loops from and to the computer. The loops are WAV files, called LOOP.WAV (16bit, 44.1 kHz, mono) with an xml-file for settings. You can easily copy one from another folder.
