After many months, the return of the Grackle Live Straw Drawing improv jam!
Darrin: percussion,gtr
Mark: 7 string gtr
Kavin: gtr, percussion
Rek: acoustic gtr, percussion
Matt: percussion
An experiment with quarter tone tuning.
I tuned my guitar: low E (normal tuning)
A (quarter step up)
D (normal tuning)
G (quarter step down)
B (normal tuning)
high E (tuned D then quarter step down)
this was an accidental song. I was making another song for which the main two loops of this song were simply the ending. The first of these loops is so visually stunning, I just knew It was its own bar.
This is a great debut for you at improvFriday, good to see you there. As you know I've been trying to cross-pollinate between alonetone and IF, and it seems to be working!

a collaboration of Alister Flint - Carlo Serafini - Chris Vaisvil
so, Chris did this. Carlo did that. and i added some. for the technical stuff, see below. :)
This piece uses multiple tunings simultaneously and is the inaugural…
This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques.
Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is.
The piano, bass…
Comments on coelocanth's stuff
It is almost like just descending out of the Strat-osphere into the void... just a great work here-
has a sitar like feel that sounds like going through a wahwah or some such. Like the edge of it K...
Excellent..
nice
That's great Kavin! Thanks for putting us together. Texture on what James is doing is haunting through, whole piece is a ritual!
A type of sad strings sound... Quite moodish with
cool jam!
I like this very much so ,.// great groove here --
On theme and on message! Really like this! To quote Rodney King - "I just want to say – you know – can we all get along? Can we, can we get along?"
really somber this is.
this is real serious stuff here-
this is cool - sounds very early electronic music with the pops and reverb - fav'd!
Sounds like me on the loo ... on a bad day .... CRAP..... and me being polite ....
such a mix of sounds greatness
Holy spooky windchimes, batman!
about minute 8 some rad changes going on then back to the sweet bells--
Like being drugged! This is. I'm not say *I* like being drugged.
these loops are great --- now I want to make the thumbjam go-- :)
it is a type of struk-ness that is contagious maybe-??
There are some definitely micro tonal inflections here!

mmm pleasantly atonal!
"buzz modular synthesis"- have no idea what that is, but sounds cool!
extreme caffeine rush
Superb mash! Thanks for including me. Kavin.
Wow. Pleasantly surprised. Thanks.

a great musical trip, and fascinating project. Would love to see more explanation of this maybe in the theory forum? Congratulations.
Well done. Fascinating description of your process!
