This is a motet I wrote for theory class slowed down by a factor of 12 and sung by 4 different choirs. A contribution to the ImprovFriday drone fest. And I made a video too.
This is a video piece made for the ImprovFriday drone theme event which used my DIY 9 string canon, DIY electrified 8 string psaltery, viola bow, ebow, and fingers. The tuning in unknown – just something I did by ear.
Pictures, streamable video…

This is simple test of East-West symphonic choirs solo soprano voice and East-West Hollywood strings contra-bass. I feel its a bit reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - of course, your mileage may vary - it is a very simple and direct arrangement…
so so pretty .. I do not know if a windy dialog am i ready for. ;) *looks over the dialog* sorry I would base my improvised modern classical jazz on things like this but I would never go programming a serial performance ,,, I say that now but then there is the future. ;)

It's obvious to me that the woman is furious with the man for buying a hideous carpet without asking her first!
"Kiss me, can you feel the magic?" just before she goes ballistic!

Intentional or not you sound like a 78 rpm record - it is like listening to folk song from the 30's - that is very cool. I like you composition and obviously the production.
Reg has been thinking he's fed up with all this celebrity crap.......the emperor is naked can't you see..........
CELEBRITY STRIFE (Lyrics)
I’ve said this once
I’ve said this twice
I don’t give a damn about the celebrities life
About who…
Celebrities at one time were paid to live the life the audience wouldn't dare to live. That was the real entertainment.
Its like the fake preacher at the entrance of the Renaissance fair who was on a tree stump yelling "Don't go in - it will make you a sinner! Inside is just sin! You will go to Hell if you go inside!" And I shouted back - "What if I pay you to go in and sin for me?" He stopped a moment looking thoughtful and then said "How much will you pay me?"
They were Black and Blue but finally Elvis got up and did his stint in the Live in the Living room fest....................................it was good practice for his strumming, cause by god does he need it.....but no one dare tell him…
The energy levels were at an all time high this weekend when Bon and jimi turned up down the Cellar for a session. Here's a little something from the session........... Reg'n'Roll...other Reg really blisters the guitar on this one
OH WHAT A…
Reg got reminiscing tonight down in the cellar and decided to cover this classic by dear old Rodney..............the piano needs a bit of work....but hey at least i'm trying ...at least i've found out what a F sharp minor is this evening and that…
Oh well, nothing like going to a middle school music function to break writers block, all those posters and flare about achievement...
Special thanks to my sons middle school band, The Preston Pumas playing at the end !
jqscutt posted the acoustic guitar track looking for ideas, not sure if it turned into the genre he was looking for :)
The auuuggga horn sound was another classic unplanned phone interruption during the vocal recording but it seems to fit in…
For the daughters of two of my favorite people.
Bonfire Lullaby
Dannah studies my hands while I play
With heavy eyes at the end of a runaround day
Fading fast ‘neath a summer night’s sky
No need to wonder why
Time stands still in her…
Keith - this is lovely - not only the song / guitar / vocals but also the sentiment and the slice of real life. This is a definition of beauty and serenity and... Love.
It was busy down the cellar tonight.....someone slipped something into Reg's and Jim's drink........now their out there trying to find the gold for the mind from the other side..........we tried to stop them but you know what their like when they…
Reg has put into words want he wants do and why...............
I WANT TO SING
I don't want to be like you or you
I just want to be like me
so i’m going inside myself, to try and figure, the whole thing out
the whole thing out
So i can jump…
Well reg was down the cellar last night watching re runs of Saturday night Live http://www.videolog.tv/video.php?id=503192 that Chris and Norm had sent him and they gave Reg an idea which John who sat quietly watching approved off..........it…
This one is live from the cellar last night...Unplugged recorded with one mic..so close your eyes and imagine me here alone on a wet Monday night in Sheffield in the cellar alone as Elvis and Jim had heard about an Happy hour round the corner…
I heard M.T.C's Session 1 today and thought wow!!! so asked if it was ok if i could jump on for the ride..Jim said Ok! .......so here goes.........a song about loves dream being broken.........thanks again Jim...................based around these…

Am totally inspired to make more videos to accompany tracks. This is really effective!
Mesmerising! Great video!
Agree with Wrink, Norm and Kavin, all of whom said far more intelligent things than I have ever said in my commenting life.
Enchanted!
esp like the drums on this! -Kavin./Breaking Light/Coelocanth
Excellent...... Conrad's voice reminds me for some reason of Steve Buscemi
Totally dig this track! Also the story behind the music is great.... love stuff like this!
Some really intense moments in here, lovely playing!
beautifully played.........dramatic
Very pretty - love the vocal tone!
Quirky and cool. Love your playing - totally jealous.
this is nice,,,, i like both the playing and the thinking behind this
I listened a few times. I like the different feeling of each phrase. Drama, suspense, anticipation. Great piece of work.
so so pretty .. I do not know if a windy dialog am i ready for. ;) *looks over the dialog* sorry I would base my improvised modern classical jazz on things like this but I would never go programming a serial performance ,,, I say that now but then there is the future. ;)
Beautiful and chilled.
It's obvious to me that the woman is furious with the man for buying a hideous carpet without asking her first! "Kiss me, can you feel the magic?" just before she goes ballistic! Great music Chris.
Ha! Loads of fun. Great glitch!
Nice, loving the weirdness in this:)
Dig this a lot.

oh this is awesome with Elvis doing this!!
excellent work all around! We should call you Mr. Music!
Did you gargle with the obligatory razor blades before the take? Excellent cover!
Brilliant!!
didn't hear the phone the 1st time around but I love the singing and lyrics.
Keith - this is lovely - not only the song / guitar / vocals but also the sentiment and the slice of real life. This is a definition of beauty and serenity and... Love.
Did you two find the mushrooms? :-)
Your vocals keep getting better and more "Reg" with every song - its great to listen to !
I think Steve Hackett is very under appreciated. I can't understand why.
great production and concept - I'm with Bethan on this.
I like this version a lot! Nice key work - great vocals as well!
wow! very cool - it sounds a lot like that picture especially towards the end.
I thought you said you couldn't play guitar! This is an awesome cover!! We need to do the Joe Cocker version "With a Little Help From my Friends"!
awesomeness!! Reg I love your inner rock star!
