Oh, cool, someone else uses their pocket phone to harness the modern generator apps for something unusual.
Usually, I get flustered because people think I should somehow be able to buy a Kurzweil or a Korg or even a Roland when that's simply not in the cards for me. I use the Android sound generator apps to create textures & fill up space with patterns of rhythm & melody, & I've started to feel a little bit foolish for even trying to make moderne sound performances, since I mostly rely on an acoustic guitar & my vocal mics to multitrack my compositions.
I'm digging this - I like kind of the freeform improvised nature of it. The sort of thing that would make for interesting dreams if it came through on the speakers while I was sleeping.

Basically, Its about being on the road with your band, and having a girl at home who doesn't want you to be in a band. And, just, that whole battle between the life you want, and the one she wants with you.
I've had pieces of this song for years…
Recorded live during the last days of the Red Blood Club in Dallas, this Dennis Gonzalez Yells At Eels song features Stefan Gonzalez (drums), Aaron Gonzalez (contrabass), and Dennis Gonzalez (treated trumpet).
I'm really thinking of renaming the upcoming "Burning Wood... The Bonfire Sessions" album "Stealing Genius." I write something simple, put down some picking at the beginning, some acoustic guitar and some vocals, and send it off to people with…
This is a study on using split keyboards and virtual instrument layering for live performance. More information is here http://chrisvaisvil.com/?p=1050 if you are into that sort of thing.
Also Lucian Freud has died today. I’m using one…

This is a video piece made for the ImprovFriday drone theme event which used my DIY 9 string canon, DIY electrified 8 string psaltery, viola bow, ebow, and fingers. The tuning in unknown – just something I did by ear.

@Reefwalker, thanks. No just setting up fx pedalboard in Logic, reverbs,delay and trem and let it roll..

Sweet pickin' there.
wonderful!
My favorite sound, a properly delayed guitar.
Nice groove!
Lovely minimalism. Beauty.
fantastic sonic manipulation. Will have to look up the GB novel.
MTC, ebow yes with two different delays active.
Love these long sonic journeys
really like the extended gtr intro.
Been a fan of YAE for years. Imagine my surprise to see them here.
Great song but that slide gtr is kinda cheesy :)
Still, wow. Never heard of L. Freud, until now. thanks
thanks for that comment MTC..check out Doug Sparling's stuff, which is direct inspiration for this direction I took.
wow. Test successful.
what the..? Cool
I like this dynamic approach you have to your ambient compositions, the scenes always changing.
Great sounds all thru this playlist. Wish you success in your efforts.
this one's right up my street Chris. Nice.
I sure feel better!
very nice sonic imagery.
