Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.
El sol azul está por encima, aquí, en el espacio que se llama eterna. El sol azul está por debajo.

The blue sun is above, here,
In the space
That is called timeless.
The blue sun is below

My RPM challenge this year: acoustic guitar instrumental album with no more than three tracks on each tune (ok, maybe four!)
This one is a single track with no overdubs. On the 12 string, the 4th,5th and 6th string pairs are tuned a fourth apart.

Hi Kavin, if your new tuning changed the length between the 5th and 6ths fret for instance then, no you could not accomplish this by changing the tuning of the open strings.
On the other hand you can make a small trip into microtonality by retuning the open strings a quarter flat or sharp relative to each other.
The berimbau is a Brazilian instrument associated with Capoeira, which is a Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts, sports, and music. It was created in Brazil mainly by descendants of African slaves with Brazilian native…
A manipulated ambient-ish piece
Sound sources, 5 string bass, 18" and 14" china cymbal, cornet, mixed tuning, 6 edo, 12 edo, unconstrained pitch.
kudos for anyone who listens to the whole thing.
Nobody knows how, what it will be - the future. We look at it, trying to see, to detect something and ... it goes fade, it's always receding, receding ...

This is a song I made by recording several guitar tracks and editing on an all nighter session in November of 2010. The bulk of it was done in a 12 hour period with minor tweaks added in over the months. This was recorded using SONAR 8.5 and a…
Home made cannon in Just Intonation, cymbals struck by hand and bowed. (I don't own so many cymbals - I made a field recording while walking through the cymbal room at Sam Ash. A most exciting experience actually!) I did buy two cheap cymbals…

I used about half of the tones produced in my stop sign video as samples looped in Kontakt and improvised on an 88 key controller in 17 equal notes per octave. Not something you'd listen to for enjoyment.

Very nice.
Awesome.
Very cool tones !! Nice!! Almost middle eastern
Move over Leo , Kavins on to something here. A fountain of sweet new sounds to these ears
Gorgeous sounds man! Love the sound of that tuning. You get some wonderful chord voicings that way
nice playing, the 12 string gives the fingers a work out.
lush and soothing.
hi Kavin, Wondering Aloud is on my list!
Kavin, this is special. The sounds are familiar yet strange. Thats sooo cool ! thanks , my ears are refreashed, Steve

Back again

@Wildgeas: YAY!
Downloaded - because I wish to cut it in to little loop-able pieces, toss it in to the air and see what happens.

Still wonderfull Jeff. Good seeing you here!
Me too me too! I wants one! I have a berimbau app but it dont sound near this good.
A nice breeze coming off my subwoofer.
Alien IV soundtrack. I'm with Norm, this gave me the willies.
great rocking live track
Love it great great
sounds like the Andromeda Strain soundtrack, which I am still searching for. Very good sir.
Very perceptive Kirk. Ant is a big favorite of mine right now. Now if I could just get up the gumption to take the 12 into open tunings..
no such thing as too many guitars.
some very moody blues there (not referring to the band)! Well played. Some old Beck/Clapton/Page sounds shining through.
brilliant sounds
At the risk of dating myself, this reminds me of the Small Faces..which is good. It has that 60's psych pop feel.
Mucho thanks Johnny Stone, ER et al. Maybe soon I'll have something new to post, if I can drag my butt off FB.
Reg been listening to Enya too? Nice one here.
Nice! Well played.
Good one JMT!
pretty creepy. But cool.
Really like these tones and ambient sounds!
Simply beautiful.
The guitar sounds great on this.
