This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques.
Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is.

Remastered from 4 track circa 1987. The backing track was shoved into one track (drum machine, casio CZ-101 synthesizer bass, rythmn guitar) - the vocals are buried because I wrote a song that was way way too high for my range. The backwards-ness…
Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…

This is one of my first alonetone collaborations written by Louis Smit.
Everyone should go listen to some of his tunes. Louis is a very original
and talented folk style acoustic guitarist- singer - songwriter.
You can hear him here.

This is a special request by Sister.
It's kinda sloppy. Frankly, because I suck at it :)
I'm not much of a cover musician but I gave it hell.
It's mostly analog. MIDI drums, DB33 organ patch,
strat leads, and Ibanez chords, Dean bass…
Hi - I enjoyed this composition very much. I would like to mention though that the volume was very low. So much so I have to normalize it to listen reasonably. Do you lack software to do this type of manipulation? (or was this on purpose?) In any event this piece impressed me enough to go through your series of sonatas!
CROSS-OVER POLYRHYTHMS
This is actually a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with **different meters** (i.e., a different numbers of beats/measure) are played at the **same tempo**: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms…

Did the guitar tracks first, followed by bass, then drums and vocals last. I wrote this song in a bookstore, after I came home and recorded it, I realized I made the song too short for all the lyrics.

I suck at most electronica genres (like trance - I don't like the 4 on the floor aspect) and I don't think I've given country a serious try yet as well.
Sung By John B - he also does most of the instrumentation. My contribution is simply that I wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and if you listen closely I play the guitar parts. A cross Atlantic collaboration.

Well, since I have not used MOTU SI I can't compare but you can since you can hear my Kontakt 4 sample set. Sonar 8.5 was / is a radical upgrade if you write more than classical music. But if one were strictly classical composition minded a better (rational!) program than Sonar to score with would make more sense to invest in than sonar 8.5 . I look forward to hearing what you are working on!

A lovely rich sounding, string based track. Wonderful deep last note, finished it off nicely.
Wow, has it already been a year?? Are you attending the gathering this year?
sweet, subtle. nice playing. the fxs are just right for the feel
Wow! A gorgeous piece and a superb pianist! Yeah, "Play it again, Sam!"
Got to agree with movement ...missed this one ...a hell of a collab gents
Wow....i love when i find amazing music i missed...that is some really cool fretless jammin...
It begins, ah, Nice! I was sorry when that ended. Well played! A very attractive composition!
Pretty sweet and sweeping.
Love these nylon excursions. Brimming with melodic ideas.
A stunning piece Chris. Builds with tension making anticipation. Love the glass marimba sounds. What a gloriously peaceful photo. Ah bliss!
based on the premise if we build it they will sec-come...The sounds speak of construction and excess in go-rash glass and steel
Golly, what a concrete jungle that photo shows! This is a very strong piece with sudden splashes of volume which are very effective.
Very good, I think because 17EDO has good fourths and fifths, and the usual CV touch makes it even better, John.
8:13 IN.....i am loving this.......
hey, i think "white boy with no rhythm" is a good enough excuse. ;)
I missed this one Chris. A really great rock song. The backing is punchy, solid and I think, right up there.
Quite the adventure - great tension!
Really cool sounds, nice one
Nice was that!
Chris does Blues! Good song and strong guitar playing.

Excellent!!
Excellent sounds and I keep wanting to hear more of her :-) I especially like the percussion.
Beautiful!! In composition and execution.
Nice tune - so this is a cover?
Nice tune - like the production
nice an heavy!
entrancing! Not at all what I expected with "march" in the name - much more subtle and smooth - I enjoyed this one very much!
Awesome!!! This is so perfect!
nice, really nice!

I enjoyed playing on this thanks Norm! - no guitars harmed in the improvisation
nice progression
welcome! And excellent track!
Aengus is all Ethno 2.
I love your voice reef. Excellent tune and production - your acoustics sound especially nice.
This is brilliant! Would you consider doing a collaboration sometime?

excellent collab!!
nice work - very rich - listened to it several times.
