microtonal piano improvisation
it was pointed out to me at 2:54 you can hear Mary Had a Little Lamb - totally unintentional and in a completely foreign tuning to boot!

Organ in 15 Porcupine - I'm not very happy with this. I've fussed with it for a couple hours and it still sounds like disembodied phrases thrown together haphazardly to me. YMMV
Angelos Quetzacoatl composed this piece and then we performed it on video for your enjoyment during a recent visit. Angelos plays fretless guitar and I play fretless bass in 24 edo (quartertones).
score is here: http://chrisvaisvil.com/?p=1959

This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?

It's been tough to keep up lately, hope everyone is well.
Something I was working on as part of a larger project. When it's done I'll link it.
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
oh yes~!! I had my virtual computer set to no sound so I could compose yesterday - now I'm bummed I didn't hear this sooner!! Yowzer you guys are jamming!!!
This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…
yes! this is great - the two of you rock together - and Hurdy Gurdy!! Awesome!! If I may be so bold perhaps a recorder or flute - or best a shawm melody would work.
In Argentina they say "in Argentina everything may change - except the tango", but I couldn't resist adding some percussion to this beautiful nuevo tango by Vincent Voois, composed in the style of Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla.
Check out Vincent…
made during a video record session to get some image work done while mixing sounds, these are like more accidental then anything else mixed on the "spot."
third in the reworkings from july 2008 :) seems i did not get to upload some of even the originals to trax's in space at that time there is a block from my music list that is missing .. guessing i was doing two projects tandom and missed the second…
I feel as though I am on a merry go round that is next to a cage of psychedelic birds at the entrance to a tunnel that hold the flame of Anor. If only I could become liquid like Odo and pass between the birds I might find life on the other side. Then again maybe not.
Thanks to Sister Savage for helping us debut our new project. As busy as she is, Sister managed a bit of time and some great Jovian vox for us.
This piece or art is unique, sublime, and psychedelic.

2010 Savigear-Reyes-Lennon
As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
I couldn't talk for a while afterwards and I felt like a moron after listening to my vocals, but it had to be done :) So no laffin'!
Our attempt to be on the roof of Abbey Road Studios if only for a moment!
The Lineup:
Guitars: gtalfsen
Piano…
drip by drip..
I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
this is great!!! I love the jazz / spaces blues vibe. The harmony leads are seriously impressive! How'd did you make your fretless? I recently made one myself - amazing how low the action is now.
Stealin' Pumpkins off the vine...
Such good fun I do it all the time.
Single Gon Bops conga track miced for heavy bass. And 2 tracks of cow bell, of course.

Interesting. Not familiar with Lainhart. Will have to check out his work
I didn't hear Mary had a little lamb. Oh it's at 2.54
pretty so pretty :)
Yes, why not give it a rest for a while and come back to it later. You may surprise yourself. It's all there, you just need to fine tune it perhaps.
Very inspiring, guys!
Impressive runs!
Aw, now I want curried porcupine...
Call it what you like, I enjoyed it.
You are wacked for sure my friend :) Love the tones. I still can't get a handle on microtonal myself though I like it when you do it!
Can one have too much curry?
Well even porcupines need love! "Sorry they're so sharp" uh hu!
Has all the fascinating flavours of India.
It's interesting watching you guys working together. I could make the tea!
You get the prize for innovation! It's very interesting watching you guys. Ah! cute kitty!
Just found the headphones in 3 year old's bed. The tones have come alive and anyway, how do you play that thing?
Nice!
This is insane!!!
I can hear the quarter tones. Intriguing!
Neat!
enjoyed that Chris...............

reminds me of Japanese theater.
truly disturbing. nice.
an odd piece. very strange juxtaposition.
I played then went to a news page where they had the live feed of the Chilean miner rescue. This went together beautifully.
a nice composition - more information or lyrics might improve listener accessibility. Like the acapella ending.
great track!
excellent! I really like this one
wonderful! sounds like Venusian strings!
Enjoyed somewhere in the United States by the entire family! Up loud and rockin!!
this is excellent!!
wow! Tangerine Dream is releasing on Alonetone under a pseudonym! Man this IS Great!!

Excellent!!
