I am just going to paste what I posted about this song on fb here.--- OK wow it is enough that I never get chills from music I am listening to the first time.. because I don't know the song.. ---- minute two or two and a half chills ran up and down my spine. and again-- at minute 5:25 this is really stand alone work of greatness.=== wow.
Nice scratching till that subsides to clear water..
I am glad you were able to do something with the metronome beeping it’s something that I have difficulty with... I always turn it off,,, when I forget,, I am really confused as my personal personality like drummer has his own kinda abstract timing that usually conflicts with anything organized like say regular beats...
All I Can do is Try
Move towards my window,
try to get out.
It will not open,
I got a clue what it's about.
I have it on good authority,
I may not be the best…
minute 5.5 still hear the first note played ,, it is there ,,, in the infinite loop of loops.. going some of this , most of this ,,, has a liquid type flow to these sounds.. yeah I think by about minute 7 it all fades into a new,,, or a total reset of the echo work.. === thank you chris I am actually glad I went thru the list of songs that were made last week ,,, specially before we start a new week. ---Oh dag this end .. ,,, doesn't leave space for the totally ,, like echo motions that are ,,, so perfectly placed.
Listening to this I can hear the C version that is in the drum beat.. there was so much in the C version that I was floored from the start,..now I am hearing the parts of C that I couldn’t focus on ,.. I think C is the best version but I am really glad you posted these too.
Really great,.. in the stranger type of music...oh excellent wow ...it’s tuning seems so profound, it’s the tuning maybe? That’s causing the strangeness to it,. That Just has a. Sideways effectiveness to it..
Vaisvil (whoever you are!), if you ask Regs, he will quickly tell you that just because I left him doesn't mean he left me. And I still think about him once in awhile. Maybe I'll give him another call someday...
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.
two recorders and a flute get together in the back of a countryside English church late in the afternoon.....
NOTE --- you may need to turn up the volume a bit for this...
piece #6 of a cd i am writing of early music
comments about…
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!
I own the piano score but I found an accurate score as a midi file on the net and started from there. (That saved a 2 or 3 hours at my pace.)
Then I loaded the file into Sonar 8.5 and orchestrated it by assigning instruments to the VSTi called Kontakt 4 and its Vienna Symphony samples. Adjusting velocities / color / and a few notes took 3-4 hours. The most difficult part was creating the final mix which I'm still not 100% happy with.
Hi Richard, there is a contest to make microtonal demo tunes with MOTU. Selection of contestants is over and now we all must make at least 3 microtonal demonstration pieces. The Dance of the Unicorn is in a werckmeister equal beating variant.
this prelude is very nice. the descending register pattern is a nice variation. I see you sneak in the left hand :-)
Wanna go for a ride? Hop on in! (Many thanks to JQScutt for his excellent guitar work!)

Lyrics:
Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race…
Took sandbag's [Andromeda 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/andromeda-1) and applied some BigSeq2 and LiveCut.
Added a little FM8 underneath.
And this happy little accident came out.
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.
Im talking, she's texting
Im givin…
Love like a salt river washing away
Love's like sunshine evaporate
Love like floating candles blowing away
Watch out for the way you'll compensate
When I've seen all you have to give
When I'm still hungry
I need more than this
Tell me how…
yelyah - “solo piano 20100411” semi live improv
Semi live in that I had an idea of where I wanted to go, but never locked the melody in (as is probably obvious).
Hi Richard - I don't like being bored :-) I also am experimenting with some success with microtonal music as well. Drop by www.notonlymusic.com and www.chrisvaisvil.com some time.
Now.... this is a lovely sensitive piece!

Some heavy metal ambient right here. If the aliens ARE listening I'm sure this reached them.
