This is a smooth jazz piece built around Norm Harris' percussion using Garritan Jazz and Big Band sample set with the Aria player and a touch of tonehammer's Francesca sample set. Something Norm and I did last April.
Scored for upright bass…
Norm's percussions were very inspiring, and your playing blends in so smoothly, a delicious piece, very creative, with lots of images from Sahrzad palace..
this hit me as simply beautiful, first time i've heard it back at tis. and it hasn't changed a bit, since then. the marriage of the flute and the guitar is so moving..

I had not touched my keyboard for a long time - couple months? So it was inspiring to play it again. I set it up in the living room of the new house and played pianoteq on my laptop using a Just Intonation tuning (below). Actually I had to improvise…

Thanks for posting this, Chris. 2 hours of Chicago radio air time - sweet. You did a great job of music selection. Alas, I did miss hearing your personal commentary on the second hour, but it says something that the radio station thought enough of your work to feature it over a 2 week period.
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
Hi Kirk, typically it is easiest to start talking about notes as numbers in the tuning. So say for instance a a fifth would be from note 1 (or 0) to note 12 (11). This page may help http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/19edo
*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.

Hi Kavin, if your new tuning changed the length between the 5th and 6ths fret for instance then, no you could not accomplish this by changing the tuning of the open strings.
On the other hand you can make a small trip into microtonality by retuning the open strings a quarter flat or sharp relative to each other.
2011 according to Regs research was pretty shit for most apart from the couple from England......it thought i would use a Chinese theme to the music being that they own it and it was the year they were able to buy most of it cheap.....note to…
Quite excellent and I'm only 2 minutes in. This is an amazing composition of ever changing aural landscapes. Wonderful!! and I'm 14 minutes in. At 15 minutes in I downloaded this piece. By 21 minutes you have taken me to a new never seen before aural vista overlooking the eternal. What an incredible transformation to an organ-ish sound at 25 minutes. Wow... the symphonic length was filled with symphonic sound. I love your piece! The closing flute like tones from your ebow is just perfect.

This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…
This rough track uses my Blue Just Tuning system (go to www.johnsmusic7.com for details and a photo of the guitar). This is the same tuning Chris Vaisvil used in his Excluded By Peers piece. I hope to add some lead to the track soon.
Well heres my attempt at singing Jerusalem....i would have liked to have performed it better so that the vocal would have done Chris's music more Justice but sometimes you just have to do what you can and go with the flow........thanks Chris…

I do love oriental sounding music. This is quite dreamy and very nicely done.
Excellent.
Fascinating sounds!
haunting.

Norm, just how many chickens have you raised? ;-)

very good - very very good!
good blues - could be longer with MTC shredding some blues licks
nice work!
excellent song!

Thanks again! And I usually don't like banjo - but love it here!
Sad Reg, but so true for too many.
This a beautiful and indeed your arrangement is spotless
Thanks for the listen and comment - now to listen to your piece.
thanks for the listen and rating!
Hi John, thanks for listening. The tuning is 11 EDT and uses 0, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 as scale degrees.
wow! a beautiful memory - very cool. I've only seen just a few meteors so I'm glad to hear your story!
excellent! great vocals and guitar!
Thanks for making this happen!
