Incredible man. I love the way it keeps opening up with the chord progressions. The soft picking holds the song in place while it builds and falls off, and you know I'm a sucker for good ole reverse effects. I will be jammin this today on my way to colorado.
Two ambient guitar tracks recorded independently and stick together. I broke my rule of not using distortion on a BL piece, for the first time, believe it or no.

wow, what a great soundscape you have created here.
and both guitars recorded independently of each other. am i correct in understanding that you recorded each track without listening to the other? wow! wow! wow!

Blok P is the largest residential building in all of Greenland, and the largest building in Nuuk. It contains around 500 apartments.
Notice the bitrate of this song: It's only 128.
I'm surprised I forgot to post this collaboration with Norm and Char.
Char performs the reading
Norm performs the percussion
Chris did choir, sax, bass, FXs

It was many and many a year ago…
Combined two separate segments from the performance for this remix. I'm posting live recordings on Soundcloud now. To hear the rest of the set go here and bookmark:

Well, I finally got my hands on a 17 note per octave electric guitar thanks for Brad Smith, a local Luthier who did a lovely conversion of a Jay Turser strat copy I bought at the local Guitar Center for $65. The guitar is nicely very bright…
Thanks Chris. The pedals lower the pitch on the strings, like a tremolo bar on a conventional guitar, but one string at a time, not all. Mine is a 6 string with 4 pedals.
A serial improvisation in 12 equal setting Vachel Lindsay's 1931 reading of his poem "The Mysterious Cat" to musical accompaniment. Vachel Lindsay is considered the father of modern singing poetry, as he referred to it, in which verses are…
long ago when there was a "guitar electric" in my presence I recorded this and edited it in cubase, back when I used cubase, old and somehow interesting?
This song is not for everyone but I like it because its a live recording with a single instrument using infinity delay FX. (I turned on the loop delay at :09 after the guitar was flat on the floor.)
All the sounds are made with an acoustic bass…
You're right SS, I thought of whales too, may have to retitle it now! @Joe: I think it's C6 tuning, which is standard ps tuning, I could be wrong. As some of you know my BL stuff is heavily inspired by Susan Alcorn, and esp. this piece. Look her up on YT and elsewhere, she's incredible.

Felt the need to go back to something more sound driven.
I've been learning a lot of new Jazz chords and wondered what they might sound like as pads. I ended up creating a device chain in Ableton Live featuring Alchemy, Omnisphere, and Absynth…
Oh, my holy noodles. *Another* bloody 12-bar in E, and what's worse, it's a *slow* blues. Every guitar player who deems it appropriate to play a slow blues in E, in this the 21st, should be roasted like a head of garlic, smeared across a toasted…

Feels like the first rain after a drought. A fresh new day. Welcome, optimistic, and fresh.
Great stuff man! Really dig that last minute or so.
Amazing track....
Digging the reverse style picking.

very cool
Yummy!
I sense jungle footsteps! I sense adventure and self-discovery.
Thanks Kirk, only guitar fx are the DL4, live looping, playing over a background of virtual Partch instruments altered and looped with Sound Doodle.
Wild effects! You add some new toys to the rig?
To me, it got real interesting after the 3 minute mark. Cool sounds.
neat toy you have there.
wow, what a great soundscape you have created here. and both guitars recorded independently of each other. am i correct in understanding that you recorded each track without listening to the other? wow! wow! wow!
Intense flavours!
Nice! I find the distortion to be very affective in this one. Great textures
Very cool song
Superb, this album. The multi-instrumental approach is definitely a big strength, but the way everything forms a cohesive whole is really impressive.
One very cool improv album. The atmosphere must've been electric! Great work, guys!
Captured some magic here!
Didgeridoo work with Ambient like sonic waved guitars? wow this surely melts my brain to crystals...gotta see you guys live...any upcoming gigs in FL?

thanks Chris. If I recall correctly it was the Tele thru an octave pedal, using a slide to emulate a fretless bass, not very successfully.
nice dark textures, I don't mind 128 if you dont. I usually upload at 256k, but that's just me.
Like. Thanks for bringing my favorite Poe(m) to life!
Well that was very nice!
Hey Chris: Boss RC20XL loop pedal,Line 6 DL4 delay modeler, an ibanez delay/echo pedal, Boss octave pedal, ebow, smoke and mirrors, etc.
That's so cool, and great tone! I want more notes too!
These are pretty dang good for demos. What became of this project? Wendy's voice is so soulful!
Thanks Chris. The pedals lower the pitch on the strings, like a tremolo bar on a conventional guitar, but one string at a time, not all. Mine is a 6 string with 4 pedals.
One of those "wow wish I'd done that" tunes. Excellent guitar work and conception!
Interesting stuff, but dead space after 22 min. so I left.
cool. Gotta try this.
heheh that's funny Kirk! All 6 people in the audience seemed to enjoy it! :-) The clown suit might help...
thanks sis, and mercifully short too!

have no idea how you do this but nice manipulation of voices.
very nice, brooding, spare instrumentation. Love it.
nice shorty. I may have to look into that 60x60 as well.
such a great dense guitar tone, sounds like an electric 12 string.
great dream ambient
love slow blues in E! good tone there.
