Recorded for ImprovFriday - yes I flub some notes badly and that G minor had no right being there!! - that's the danger of a live improvisation, at least at my skill level. The guitar is an Epiphone C70CE classical acoustic with piezo pickup…

This is a captured and then edited live performance using the Sonar Matrix view using various samples - some of which were paul stretched.
I'm liking this - if only they had the possibility to change the pitch live it would be like sticking…

At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.
The number 7 is a symbol for perfection or completeness: 7 colors in a rainbow, 7 musical notes in a scale, 7 days = a week, etc.

This spooky track utilizes the "Paulstretch" program to stretch recordings of gongs, chimes and bells to 8.04 times their native length: no other effects were made to these acoustic recordings other than to stretch them. The gongs utilized are…
Reg has been over to Songcrafters.org on the other side and found this little beauty a piece of music by Willi Wendon and he loved it so much he's put a vocal to it. Hope you like it Willie..........

Reg took a collaboration from Chris Vaisvil, Norm and threw it into the cellar last night and this is what was returned through Regs door this morning...... a tale from the old wild west.........................
Poor old Reg he cant figure it out!! ........ since he's been listening to his self help tapes to stop drinking he has never got any money and he just doesn't understand it, he keeps working coming home relaxing to the tape........... then when…
This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
With all the highs in Regs life, it had to equal out and Reg has dropped like a stone ........he's broken.........he's had a breakdown.....Well let's face it. It had to happen he was just pushing himself too much. Hopefully he can carry on the…

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
good ending 00
good stuff!!
right up me street that is!
Gotta pay ya dues to play da blues. You gett,n it.
Lovely Eastern flavours!
I've been transformed into something 10 degrees cooler. Love the composition!
very nice!
Still, wow. Never heard of L. Freud, until now. thanks
This is breath stopping stuff. The gong is alarming and I found the whole composition extremely mysterious.
Great mix mate cool.
Cool mixing.
Agree with Norm it was fun ......now the important question is it going to pink or yellow........
Wow...very intriguing!
Yes, it's going somewhere though. You do love your oriental sounds don't you!
This makes me want to take some time and learn the OMPT too.
Nice one mate.
OMPT = Open Mod Plug Tracker - a program that turns your computer into a sampler.
Nicely done mate very cool.
Excellent stuff.....love the vocal adds tremendously to the madness........
Powerful Sound!

this is what I'm talk about!! Rocking! So did your hands hurt hitting the metal?
nice work Richard!
Norm I really like it! Is there anyway I could you into sending me the TUBS for the main beat? I want to plagiarize it for a marimba part.
awesome! You are unleashing your inner Sonny Landreth!
whoa! The gong sounds HUGE!
excellent work - sad, sad blues.
wow you nail Elvis so well.
and I 2nd what Norm said - you have an amazing tonal control over your voice.
lovely
this just excellent - the production has great clarity too!
this is an excellent collaboration!
Thanks for doing this!!
hehe! excellent!
sounds like early Who - excellent!!
or the seventh son of a seventh son! My bass is looking at me :-)
I'm hating it too. Its just an infection I think. Nothing personal ;-)
great track - and yet another side to your voice.
this is a great idea well executed!
very beautiful!
powerful!
