Jungle
Tash Sultana, 2016. Solo by Tash Sultana.
Built from loops, the song climaxes with an extended, effect-heavy guitar solo that made Sultana's name online.
Jungle is built from layers of loops, and its extended, effect-heavy guitar solo became the performance that made Tash Sultana's name online. Sultana stacks rhythmic patterns and textures before launching into a lead that leans on delay, reverb and other effects to create a swirling, psychedelic sound. The solo is long and exploratory, building intensity through repetition and gradual shifts in tone. It shows how looping technology can turn a solo performer into a full band. Listen for how each new loop adds to the groove, and how the guitar lead grows from clean, melodic phrases into distorted, soaring lines as the layers pile up.
