John Hornby Skewes - DX99 Digitec Delay

"This DX99 has 512ms Delay. The factor dial can make this x2, so it's probably 1024ms of a delay in total. It also has a Hold Jack to maintain that Delay for lo-fi experiments. The factor knob is great for creating a bed of texture. Almost like an Eno style tape loop, or pad."

The now-vintage DE-1 Dan-Echo Delay Echo from Danelectro gives you all the warmth of an analog delay, coupled with the pristine, crisp delays you love from a digital delay, all in one big fat purple pedal!! Affordable and able to squeeze onto (just about) any pedalboard, this is one you can't miss...

I love how one delay says “𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦, 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘥 & 𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦!”

and the other says “𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘪𝘱 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘴!”

Henry Kaiser — Mahalo Nui (Metalanguage)

John Fahey was 27 years old when he recorded Requia. While parts of it play as a sincere ceremony of remembrance for people who meant something to him, it was nonetheless the work of an ornery young man. That provenance showed, especially on the spectacularly trollish, side-long musique concrete composition, “Requiem For Molly.” Henry Kaiser knows all about Fahey, guitars experimental music, and Requia in particular. He’s recorded a couple albums of his own using that title, and posed for one of them in a visual homage to Fahey’s record. But Kaiser’s also managed to live a longer life than Fahey, very different but no less astounding. He has been able to carry on a career as a boundary-straddling guitarist who gets to play whatever he wants with pretty much whoever he wants and also to work as a research diver with a specialty in under-ice video work.

Several tracks from this projectstarted out as a COVID-era project, when Kaiser included among the regular YouTube videos that he posted from lockdown with shout-outs to recently passed musicians, such as Steffen Basho-Junghans and David Lindley. Over time, the partings tend to proliferate. Kaiser found himself with ten mostly-solo tracks that shared two criteria: they memorialized fellow travelers who adventured with him upon or under the ice, or who made music, films or musical instruments; and they continued Kaiser’s decades-long determination to do more with the guitar than it previously had been able to do. These became Mahalo Nui.

Born in 1951, Kaiser has now lived long enough to know loss in ways that Fahey could not when he recorded Requia in 1967. Across its two sides, Fahey dug deep into sorrow and respect, and also let fly some ill-focused antagonism. You’ll some sorrow on Mahalo Nui, particularly on the sole non-solo performance, a slide guitar trio in honor of David Lindley. But you’ll hear a lot more joy and gratitude; the album’s title translates from Hawaiian as Thank You Very Much. “Hard Time Killin’ Spoonful Requiem For Paul Hostetter” mashes up Derek Bailey and Skip James gestures with more glee than rue; perhaps Kaiser assembled the performances from licks that the late luthier loved? The glistening tones and complex timbres of “Antarctic Requiem For Liz Sutter & Bija Sass,” which is named after two of his fellow Antarctic travelers, evoke a state of drifting wonder and weightless solace.

In 1990, I caught a Kaiser solo concert and came away as impressed with the looming height of his effects rack as I was with his music. He’s never been afraid to indulge the possibilities of technology and technique, and there have certainly been times when they have gotten the better of him. That never happens on Mahalo Nui. The occasions when he foregrounds technical interventions, such as the school of psychedelic blurs on “Mysterious Requiem For Paul Plimley” and the real-time combination of scything slide guitar and MIDI-controlled piano notes on “Some Of The Great Ancestors Inside My Guitar,” pay off real musical dividends. This record makes a strong case for both the technical and emotional aspects of Kaiser’s art. One caveat for those who prefer physical formats; if you go to Kaiser’s Bandcamp page, this title is only offered as a download. However, it is also available as a CD if you’re willing to search a bit.

And it's finally here.

It's been quite the journey! I think overall I spent about 5 months on this? I am quite satisfied with how everything turned out and I hope that it was worth the wait! This is my first time making anything like this so it's far from perfect, but im just proud that I managed to get it done at all.

Anyway, any shares or reblogs would be very appreciated! I'd hate for this to just get lost somewhere in the depths of the internet. Thank you!
