Coffee and Riffs, Part Fifty Four (Benjamin Homola, Armon Jay)

Ask and ye shall receive. This time around, anyway. Armon Jay and Benjamin Homola kept the party going so we kept the cameras rolling too (or at least attempted to, we had some battery issues in one of the cameras but thankfully we had a GoPro rolling as well to have enough footage to cobble together an edit). Benjamin builds a beat on the Korg Volca Beats and runs that through the Old Blood Noise endeavors Reflector, then lays down a part from the Critter and Guitarri Bolsa Bass through the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Procession on top of it. AJ then puts some tasty guitar licks over that while Benjamin intermittently manually modulates some knobs while he plays the Jazzmaster through the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Haunt, Earthquaker Devices Bit Commander, EHX Pog2, Old Blood Noise Endeavors Procession and Reflector* (*prototype), and the Strymon Timeline. All of this is looping through the TC Electronic Ditto X2 looper. Again, it was a real treat to spend an afternoon with these guys. they are both interesting and compelling artists, but as well, engaging and kind human beings. I’m thankful that out of everything Coffee and Riffs is and allows us to do, it affords the opportunity to meet and interact with some precious souls. -Seth McCarroll.
