The Xador Project

The Xador Project features Jane Elliott (cello, live loops) and Cameron Street (electric bass, live loops, programming).  Jane and Cameron are both accomplished musicians who have got together to present some old tunes in a new light.  Tonight, they would like to take you on an underwater safari to ?Atlantis? (made famous by The Shadows) in their ?Little Boat? (the familiar bossa number).

You?ll hear janes $15000.00 cello from several sources,  Her contact Fishman pickup
Signal is sent through an Akia Headrush looping pedal, into her 600 watt LabSystems bass amp, which has a D.I. [Direct Input] signal. Into a 4X10 800watt LabSystems Speaker Bin, this is miked. Jane also has a contact mike attached to the cello for an ambient Signal.

The backing drum loops you?ll be hearing are two Korg Electribes,  The ES-1 Rhythm Production Sampler, and the ER-1 Rhythm Synthesizer. Both are D.I.?d.

Cameron?s bass equipment list is complex aswell, it begins with a cheap 1980
Ibanez bass which has gone through to many changes to list. It?s fed into ten pedals,
five of which are delay and sample pedals, all used minimally in the Xador Project.
A sansamp bass D.I. is used to split the signal before the effects, then sent to
A Behinger ?Sub-Harminic Synth? rack. Which duplicates whatever note is played
But an octave lower than it?s original signal. Then is sent to one side of Cameron?s Mackie1400 watt power amp, then into a Peavy ?Sub-Compact? 15 inch P.A. Sub-Woofer. All other sounds are sent through a Trace-Elliot V-type valve preamp,
Then into the other side of the Mackie, and into a Marshall 4X10 800watt speaker bin.
Both the Sub and effects signal are D.I.?d. The 4X10 bin will be mic'd.
