Some more good fun with Brian Bazeley and Jarvis.
I added some drums and some horns to Jarvo's noodling.
There's probably room for vocals if anyone is feeling froggy.
Thanks Brian and Jarvis
Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul.
Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez.
Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along.
Enjoy.....
filled…
Cant sleep....
Thought I'd write a Tune....
Had to be fairly Quiet on this, so as not to wake the Baby...
Hope you Like it.

Hi - thought I'd throw up an older piece today while I have time (doing work at the new house later). This is an improvisation with my Fender Mustang / Roland GR-20 combination retuned on the fly to 9 notes per octave "Sorog" tuning. I think…

Yes, as a matter of practicality one performs with volume greater than the actual Fender (headphones to the GR-20, amplification of the Roland GR-20 ) - although I have mixed the "normal" and "new" tunings together and in some cases that sounds nice and fairly unique.
Oh my my my.
I agree with Norm all the way.
This climbs and builds and deepens...and then we have almost tribal sounding windchimes! You've just invented a new sound.

So when you are playing this song on the Fender Mustang, you are hearing it in Sorog tuning, right? But the note that you are playing on the guitar is changed to another pitch by the Roland, so you must have the headset plugged into the Roland output, right?

Vaisvil's response to my question was enlightening: wild stuff!
"well, no actually, it is the Roland GR-20 that gets re-tuned. Performing in many tunings with acoustic instruments is problematic and while I've seen a few attempts none of them I could afford. One could de-fret and re-fret a guitar but not only is it time consuming you then have either many guitars or a commitment to one tuning for a good space of time.
So.. long story short - musical electronics are making microtonal music practical. Of course this is purely from a western perspective - other cultures have been performing microtonal music for millennial. Or, as a Turkish composer told me - the west is the real microtonal music because its the compromise compared to other cultures."

You've done a great job of really listening to the conga pattern - you picked up the "melody" the drums are playing and duplicated it nicely with your guitars.
Man, when I hear it together, it becomes very clear how off key my drum tuning is, and how a membranophone, by its very multi-tonal nature, is really tough to accompany when it is played in a melodic fashion.
It is very brave of you Brian to even attempt to collaborate with such unconventional drumming – if I expect others to collaborate with my percussion tracks, I would probably be wise to produce patterns that are less melodic… and leave the melody up to my fellow collaborators on the chordophones, aerophones and electrophones.
Well done!

Woah, you made jam!
very cool album cover Geas!
This one had me from the opening guitar... Very carefully and lovingly performed. Great stuff!
Well, I think the baby would have loved it. This song is special, beautifully played, touching lyrics and tenderly sung. Great stuff!
Ah, the taste of things to come. Off to a flying start. This is a very powerful piece. 24 hours, well good for you and enjoy!
A masculine piece with an oriental flavour. Most interesting and different.
New Orleans ,Mardi Gras and mayhem,that is the flavour I get from this,good job matey,good job.
Oh great it's really come to life. Full and fun sound.
I've heard that Squid Row is a bad place to be. Nice work fellas! FNG!
Great set. I really enjoyed it.

This is brilliant. Perhaps my favorite of your work so far.
Way to collaborate, guys! Bravo!
Ok who's booking the tour bus?
Great tune/voice. It is interesting how a particular smell or sound can instantly summon the gift of recall.
You actually tune the Fender Mustang to the Sorog tuning, right?
