It took a bit of doing and a lot of learning - I've built my first guitar
I have a video of all of the stills I took while making the guitar with some demonstration music.
The music has mistakes - but it is the first time I played it - I spent…
well well, a bit of the CV magic goes a long way,,,first off i love it!! the softer somewhat understated approach is superb, is that clarinet in the main? love it's blue feel,,,, there's almost a slight klesmer feel to this (2nd listen),, you musta had a lot of fun doing this,,, the more i listen i, hear just how well you have orchestrated/put this together,, very very well done,, as always i am amazed by your broad range of skills and musicianship,, yours,,, Richard
Heh, I couldn't believe I forgot to share this with my friends here. Well here is the story. I'm sure you'll only listen once and probably not all the way to the end.

this is too special for any words right now. the effects are real for art meaning and mind
can I say the cricket effect works like a scream ,, listening now best thing is the 4:33 min length of this.
nice work here. // the avatar I have now is an emo emu that has been warped a little in gimp :) these textures in my latest composition are from 2004 august 22 where i have layered the original tape recording after putting it on cd :) // you know I do not know this song by Firth but it is pleasant for a melodically worked piece. did you play this or just use a midi of the piece then orchestrate the work?
Freakin sweet! :) Have you heard the NESkimos?

Pretty cool band, only have one cd, and it's a burned copy, but they start one of their songs shouting the "extra lives" cheat code to the original Contra. Up,up,down,down,left,right.left,right,b,a,b,a start...haha...can't believe I remember that....
This is a piece using 2 keyboards, an M-Audio 88es (vocal choir) and Alesis Q49 (brass choir) in 17 notes per octave. The objective was to use some functional xenharmonic chord progressions. I would be interested in knowing if you perceive the…

one could make any brass instrument to play in any temperament by valve placement and tubing length as far as I know. On the other hand 24 note per octave (and finer divisions) are avalable on wodwind and brass with using alternate fingering. On a recent trip to Urbana for a performance Peter's composition called for french horn playing in harmonic series tuning - but I guess the actual use comes close to 72 equal. The video of that is here: (go to about 16:40 .) http://www.youtube.com/user/clones98#p/u/30/OjY4LwBV8sM
This is a solo classical guitar piece in 12 equal. The recording was produced by playing an Epiphone C70CE through a Marshall amplifier's clean channel with reverberation and recording with a Zoom H2. Minimal post - processing was done to the…
Just having some fun. Geas gave me the idea, I was posting the forums about needing Alonetone Awards and he had the idea to just give them to people for tracks that you like.
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…

Different and beautiful (full on effects) desecrating the beauty of all matter.
Well I love being in this lift. It can break down for all I care. Swoon!
Elevators never sounded so good!

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!
