Pretty cool.
You know, I can only guess...
It sure has a twangy resonance, though.
Well, also, I saw some stuff on Sonic Youth where they were talking about designing tunes around one crappy instrument, because it was the only way they could get it to play.
Just sayin'. But, you know I like stuff like this. Like listening to fan overtones, it seems like. Pretty neat.
an impression for processed sound, brass and percussion in adaptive just intonation is a piece inspired by the first successful test of a large scale stellarator fusion reactor. Click on the graphic for more information. NOTE: this piece has a…

I first heard Microtonal music from clones on Tracks in space. Its been at least 4 years since then and I feel im still way behind the bell curve.?!! Nice one chris>!
some video of my trip to Winston-Salem to perform three nights of microtonal music with a cast of excellent musicians and composers. More on that later...
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
ANOTHER WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey delighted me with another visit this evening. He played "Aju" - all 5 tracks…
This is so complex rhythmically that I don't know *how* to play along. I'm not sure if one should - it stands on its own - wow. This is a lesson here. Please send Alex my regards for his skill and sharing his cultural heritage.
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…
Thanks for the listen and comment! Well, no, I was a short haired old man when that solo happened (anyone over 29 is old of course). I don't know what PiL means.
A short improv piece. I'm starting a new project, where I will post at least one improv video/recording online each week, and at the end of each month collate them into an album.
This is the first one. Since July is almost over, I figure I…
This is a tune that's been on the back burner for a bit. I was looking to get a dark Ultravox kind of sound. Anyone feel like puttin' on their Midge Ure hat???
Anyway, these aren't the droids your looking for.
Move along..............Move along.
Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
A few of you know I accidentally wiped out one of my SD cards that had all my works in progress on it. I'm just starting to piece it all together again - A slow process. This was supposed to be a reprise to "In My Head", but ended up being in…
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
this is one inventive piece! what a mix - are you sure you didn't grow up south of I-10 in Louisiana? You have that Cajun blues thing down and who'd expect you could get oboe and bassoon to work so well with it! wow.
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.

Liking this work as it is more different then anything I have heard you do.. a pleasantry indeed.

Nice textures!
Wow, I love your perspective.
Yikes and WOW!
Heady project, Big big big!
Nice great sound
*Mission Accomplished!* This makes the hair raise on the back of my neck!
Bravo!!

Crazily inventive!
Enjoying the tones here. Some friendly sounds.
Dolls coming to life...Spooky hide and seek after hours...
We can't wait to hear about it, Chris!
Always looking for inspiration to psychedelic textures. Thanks !
far out Chris.
GReat track!
Trippy!
Clouds blossom in the sky...
Nothing better than a new toy, it has a nice tone to it ......

wow! this weird! in the best way!! Is that your guitar beating away?
This was one of the better collaboration experiences I have had - I really like what we ended up with.

love this video!
excellent! I love the percs and the mix of elements in this!
cool piece!
Nice and smooth.
nicely done~!
interesting ! What is your set up? It sounds as if you were recorded in a hall.
I especially like parts I and II - nice work!!
boy, are you ever going through a creative period - everything is sounding top notch - I love the percussion + ambiance style here. World electro?
interesting aggressive minimal electro
nice themes!
Sam sounds like one of the Indigo Girls :-) Very nice song everyone!
this is very good - like the solid vocal harmonies and leads.

This is a great tune - I love the percussion and the deep deep sounds.

nicely done - sounds a bit floydish. Introspective Roger Waters.
