This is a classical finger picked blues / classical guitar solo hybrid with lexicon reverberation and freeze pedal. There is some sloppiness. The idea was to push myself in playing and what I was playing melodically and harmonically.

Remind me to play this at my next garden party. This should make up for the lack of garden and make everyone think I spent a lot more on the punch. Inventive, unsettling, swarmingly clever!

Very interesting. Alonetone ate my first comment apparently. Thanks for the link the other day as well. Will be doing some reading over there again soon

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...

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!
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
Nice improv
very cool.
Neat sounds.
You're on a roll with these JT covers. Wond'ring Aloud next maybe?
Sounds like the bees and soldier ants joined forces to take over the world. Creepy! Oh, and a baby one as well! Ah, cute?
Underwater blues - this is why the sea is blue.
Remind me to play this at my next garden party. This should make up for the lack of garden and make everyone think I spent a lot more on the punch. Inventive, unsettling, swarmingly clever!
What a great song! Lovely version!
Menacing!
Very nice!

Well I know you know I like a nice pretty tune but wow Chris, you certainly come up with very clever and unusual ideas.
very nice sound!
It's a good song isn't it? Nice and gently folksy.
Loving these sounds. Its like the sounds our brains would make if we could hear them in action. Awesome work!
Awesome track!
Where did that folky vocal come from?? Nice work, CV!
Sometimes there is a cover that we just can't resist! More than an attempt, you did a good job with this Chris.
Your experiments with pitch/tuning always fascinate.
Our zebra is now taking a walk down the street, and wondering why all the cats are staring at him. Very inventive!

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

lovely, touching. A nice song and excellent vocals / lyrics.
Great vocal harmonies!

Excellent!!

one of my favorites by you!

Nice - I love the rolling piano.
I like this a lot!!
Nice piano solo!

so nice... :-)
Nice!!! You make the piece come alive!
wow every piece I hear is really good! My hat is off to you Lalo Oceja!
