Pigano… or how I didn’t go to Berlin
In April I wanted to go to Berlin to attend Ableton Loop but it was cancelled due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Instead we had #LoopAtHome with daily challenges. For the first challenge I built an instrument called Pigano. I also had other ideas for names – eg. Pigtar, Pisophone, Trumpig – but Pigano won my Instagram survey fair and square! In the video I talk about how I recorded this instrument (pigstrument?) and made a whole song using only that one sample.
The finished song is called Dances with Pigs and you can listen to it here or on your streaming site of choice!

Zoom H4n
