This is a piece Norm and I collaborated on last year. We hope you will enjoy it.
two improvised 12 string guitar lines
bass line ( I took a few takes)
improvised piano
Norm's percussion in Tumbao rhythm
This is a piece that uses MOTU Ethno 2. All but percussion and voice were performed my Fender Mustang and midi recorded via Roland GR-20. The piece uses the Almak tuning included in Ethno 2. [Amlak recurrent sequence (x^2 = x + 1/3), as a matrix…
This is a little piece dedicated to the lost world island of Socotra that grabs a lot of instrumentation from across Asia with little discrimination - the melodic instruments use Afshari with the exception of the Jaw harps which use 9-tET Sorog.

Firstly, love the rhythm, tinkling and the music.
Gets the old hips unashamedly swaying.
Secondly, fabulous pictures, looks like paradise to me for several reasons, I hope it stays like that.

Cool tuning. I've never heard anything like it. Nice work Debbie! The percussion is just perfect for this. The left channel "swampy" guitar towards the end rules!

a simple seventies type performance core piece vocal, guitars, bass, and lots of lovely drums!
and a few effects just for the thrill

Nice neoclassical trio - very pleasant!
The octave mandolin is available at music stores that deal in folk / country instruments. I bought mine used and is made by Trinity College. Not sure if they are still in business. Its double the size and not surprisingly tuned as a regular mandolin but an octave below. Search for Sierra Hull on youtube - excellent mandolin player and has some videos that compare the two.
So, here is the third and final Movement of my first Piano Concerto...have really enjoyed this project. I will soon now be adding the complete Work to this site too.
A collaboration with Chris Vaisvil! I'm so jazzed he took a Thumbjam sketch of an idea and ran with it. Either an alternate Star Wars imperial march or Amon Duul jamming with Mahavishnu, don't know which.
Chris Vaisvil: guitars
Kavin.: Synths…
Roland SE-02 through EHX Stereo Memory Man -> Zoom RFX-300. Title comes from a combination of the time length, and the fact that it was created for the current Sound-In for 1-7/1/2021.
Beautifully dark and mysterious that then explodes into barely contained chaos that ends in a plaintive song of longing. That's how I hear this. Wonderful piece Ben!
this is a Harold Budd tribute in memory of .. I had been listening to Harold since mid 80’s with pearl and ambient 2 when they came out about. I had a girl friend at the time going to Juilliard taking an elective electronic music class she told…
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
Still fresh!
very nice,, that sequence is a transcendental equation no?,, very cool,, you never cease to amaze me
VERY COOL! w;-)
Puts The A In Avante Garde!
great sounds,, fun piece
it simply sounds so authentic.. and this part, at 01'00", is brilliant!
Excellent! The percussion is just perfect.

Dancing to this! Wishing I had a jewel in my navel!!!!!
FNG!!!
COOL!!
very cool, good work

been humming the main motif all morning long.. - and i thought, some vocals would be great on this, something of Tom Waits, or CharlElie Couture..
Ooo eerie stuff, beautifully done.
Lovely ethereal sounds here - definitely sensing some magic.
never heard of ethopian scales..heard of gypsy, japanese, mixolydian, lydian, ect. This is yet another interesting creation from you.
post-punk-a-delic! loved the vocal first time i've heard this one; hasn't changed since then!
Mustang and MXR, now that's what I like to hear.
Damn, that's awesome man. Rockin tune...

Lovely work! - back to give a well deserved like!
Finally got back to give you a like!
Thanks for the collaboration - all I can say is - I'd like to do more. :-)
It is so hard to cut through the end of RPM - I really like what you added to my bass line! Thank you for this! Your work is excellent!
https://youtu.be/7QXKRH0R4Og is the video for it
There are some definitely micro tonal inflections here!
beautiful!
the heavy flanging is a treat! I'll diverge from Bill and say its bigger birds at 14:00. this is cool!
Some excellent effect manipulations going on here!
has a very cool vibe!
Like the guitar - nice addition to a great track!

Good to see you around these parts again! Enjoying your music with attitude!
