I watched the film Colditz story today and the French officer who summersaults over the fence put his hand up to volunteer working for the Germans he said he would rather work for 20 Germans rather than 1 Frenchman when asked his profession he told the German officer "undertaker".......

I put locking tuners and flat wound chrome strings on my 17 edo axe. Oh and I quieted the hum quite a bit. There will be more coming. Been a busy week - I think this is the first music I've made all week. I'm outta practice. A whirl with the whammy…
The Broken Cathedral of Christchurch is an ambient poly-tuning piece using 11, 12, and 19 notes to the octave. The instruments used are a Korg MS2000 synthesizer, 19 edo electric guitar (several tracks), and 5 string bass – all with liberal…
last eve there was a beautiful moon
dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…
I had some lyrics describing a late nite cake baking experience kicking around. If I have a lot on my mind, dirtying every dish in the house seems like the right thing to do.
I stole some cool percussion from Norm and went to work. I also…

I locked myself/was snowed into a cabin for a month on the shores of lake Michigan, and turned it into a one man studio. Piblokto is a form of hysteria mainly found in eskimos, sometimes triggered by isolation during which the victim will find…
They recon if you go down any mine in the world you'll find a Cornishman there working.
Colin did the vocals and twelve string
Matthew did Balron, whistle, backing vocals ect.
I did the acoustic and backing vocals.

This is a 3/16 Bembe on tuned congas, played with mallets. I've arranged it (at the very kind suggestion of Vaisvil & ReefWalker) in a verse/chorus/bridge/capo fashion to get away from a straight pattern - I think this sort of arrangement…
While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Richard thank you so much for your support. I don't have a problem with simple though it is not something I strive for. Talking to God is hampered more by my inability at the keybaord. However I could not have written that piece on my guitar. I have great respect and admiration for someone like yourself who has command of the keyboard. I have a heck of a time putting to hands together to make something. Chris
This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
A tune composed late in 2009, i've released it as well as other two tracks and some photos from a friend of mine as a micro-ep recently for free! Enjoy!
This is using a tuning I borrowed from The Smashing Pumpkins, which goes E-A-D-G#-B-E. Not…
This is the first song I uploaded to share on the internet when I first donned the name Alpha_Alpha. Thanks to fellow 'lonetoners and SoOn friends Norm and Vaisvil for contributing to make this song really special!
Having fun this week at my own expense, not my genre but what the heck. I used all the kids that were playing at my house on Monday for the chorus - had a blast.

Love the weaving keys - conjures up images of enchanted ballet shoes dancing on their own. Very clever.
You rock out with the best of 'em, CV!
Like a soundtrack to a late night Star Trek episode! Crazily inventive and unsettling.
Intensely atmospheric...amazing!
*runs to get headphones*
Like it, like it, like it.
the 'about me' picture pretty much summed it up heh. favourited.
Chris,, thanks for the listen,, this is very cool,, sounds like several layers of musical movement,, sort of like when sine waves of different period overlap,,, very nice
I would imagine having a dreams such as this piece as i sleep at a Funeral home, or would i?
Reminds me of Barnabas Collins.

Creepy!
Nice spooky texture. I interviewed for a job at a funeral home once but opted for the hospital across the street.
Awesome!
Yes, ofcourse I knew it. Well done.
Nice! I think I like 19 edo
What ever happened to this guitar? Is the procedure over?
Nice! I've been looking for a decent low cost nylon string
You did an excellent job with this one Chris. Bee
Such a sad picture. Dramatic track.

Hi there! Yep - it is all GR-20 and guitar. I have done work with driving soft synths and my Korg MS-2000 on other pieces.
