This is really nice work - laid back and exotic. Very nice balance between the music and the percussion - tastefully done. Since I'm listening before the description went up I'm very curious who you collaborated with - they did a nice job on the music.
At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…

The Seventh Rook is a piece composed for solo microtonal piano in the Rook scale commissioned by John O’Sullivan who devised the scale. Rook is a subset of Raven version temperament. More tuning information is at John’s website. The score is here…
I see your phone continues to torture you... and you wonder why I don't call. ;)
Before you completely go off the grid, text me some GPS coordinates and blaze orange a few trail markers for me. I'll be bringing some seeds, powder and percussion instruments.
we all have cover a Pink Floyd song at some point, and the only way to cover a perfect song is to make it completely different. Deep down, I think everyone was hoping the wall was not too high, and the song could end on a happy note of breaking…
Excellent work here covering the Gilmore section of vocals on this song - I always sort of hoped the song could end at this point and Pink could reconnect beyond the wall, but alas, it is not to be so.
I'm with Daisy: I particularly love the vox effects!

Time "trevel"! I wonder what the world would look like now if Reg & Vaisvil had actually hooked up in 1981...
Did John play this? Excellent work!
I'm with Vaisvil.
