I abuse Jeff Lynn's (ELO) wonderful song.
I sing it a minor 3rd lower then originally recorded by ELO since I wanted to use my 12-string guitar and it is a lot easier to play tuned down to reduce the tension a bit.

12 string rhythm…
I saw discussion of Bleu tuning on the yahoo tuning groups – all of which were tempered to a pure octave. Embolden by Andrew Heathwaite’s 88 cent guitar I decided to try the tuning without tempering to make the octave pure. So I made a scala…
Hello, I thought I'd upload a track from 1993's Strange Beauty today. It was reviewed by the WMR (Weekly Module Reviews) team (in 1996 I'm guessing.) These reviews were published on "uesnet" about music posts to the same system - Usenet is an…

5 string bass guitar solo.
Here is me and my 5 string bass, which I really, really like playing despite the pain in my pinky to make those stretches I hear in my mind. The name seems stupid - but way better than STE-018cn.

I also recorded this once through on the Martin and Zoom H-2 yesterday as well. One day I'll do a decent version of this, I promise. For now this is my modest Happy B-day to John.

So this is the source for the mixes I am doing just performed / recorded / video-digitized this performance too. If you would like to remix this I suggest doing so from this file or letting me send you the 60mg 320 kbs file of these sounds…
this is really exciting progressive experimental sound and video Bill! You need to find a theremin - you playing it in a video like this would look so cool!
wow! the rabbit hole is deep here. this is one of your best ever. I'd love an album of this! Downloaded.
I'm checking out your other new ones after this finishes. I'm at 6 min right now.
Its done. wow - this is really something else. Excellent work!
And another one I didn't share from the same day. I must of been in a funk where it all sounded really bad. This improvisation concentrates more on melodic aspects of 22 edo though there are some harmonies.
Hello guest (75.27.136.221)
I'm just following my ears. I suspect my mind imposes more order on the chaos than just running wild - also I suspect it is not a strict "anything" like a MOS.
Back to basics here. recorded with the Yeti mic.
Ramblin' round your city,ramblin' round your town
I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
My sweetheart and my parents I left in my old hometown…

ok this is the center portion of the the tape transfer and remix so if you like the intro and end so on this just gets more intense that it is centered and focused some.
to create your own new work play the video and music together .. each time…

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…
This was a collab i heard today on Songcrafters and was wondering wether to ask to have a go at it vocally when Tharek sent me message asking me to have a go so Thanks Tharek and Dave, i am more than pleased to give it a go. i loved this music…
i was listening to a post of this Beatles cover by oldrottenhead this morning,,it is a really great song, so this evening i sort of just sort of sat down an let it happen,,i didn't even really know the song as much as i might like,, but i find…
Hi Richard, Re: Hotel Cali => yes clarinet for main vocal, oboe for backing vocal - everything you hear is from Kontakt's standard sample set. Thank you for the listen and comment!
Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…

ADDENDUM TO THE INCIDENT REPORT
It’s burning.
Nothing else matters.
Nothing.
It’s burning and I love it.
It’s so clear
what is illusion and what is real.
I love the clarity.
I could drink it.
I could eat it.
I could…

I don't fully understand the technical side but it makes for an interesting listen.
Divine Madness
One of my favorites man. Cool choice for a cover tune.

Nicely done.
Nice one mate great job.
Wild mix mate very cool.
Very very nice!!!
Agree with Norm - and this is a great song that's new to me. Lovely.
Oh man! Arranged like a Bond theme! Bold, bright and brilliant!
Raw blues - love this kind of thing. Am now going to analyse the crap out of your improvised lyrics! :D
Great sound!
The parts around 2.12 are completely uplifting - great stuff!
Perfect title - great conceptualisation. Check out me and my long woooooooooooooooooooords.
Well done. I love the synth work.
interesting,, not sure exactly what i think about it, but it's always neat to hear your musical thoughts
I like your spare take on this!
wild tones...duel survival.

oh wow - James Bond 22nd century style!
The Texas Tavern serves cheesy westerns (cheese, fried egg, burger, bun) in the downtown of Roanoke Va.
nice meditation!
this is extremely cool! much enjoyed!!!
great!!
I like this a lot - more than like this is great! To my ears it sounds like a microtonal progressive rock song.
I'm watching the video. This is truly impressive and progressive art!

that genesis piece is beyond my skill to play - but it took a bit of work to get it to be nice with my software.
I am amazed at how you constantly pull new textures from your equipment. Very cool - parts sound like a futuristic police chase.
I see you've taken up body levitation as evidenced by your avatar picture. :-)
your new avatar is freaky!
very cool sound - I like this piece quite a bit!
