I just love that growling fretless bass.

This is really cool Chris.

very cool,, Chris

Wonderful use of the voices to produce the rhythm. Lovely!

Wow... This is superb!

Much beauty can be cultivated in 80 years... and perhaps true beauty always forgets itself.

Bringin us back to the ancient times with a nice little motet/chorale. Cool! Wish I could hear it with live singers. It would be glorious.

Very interesting sound indeed.

That is most touching, yes, most touching. With fading eyesight she looks out on a world through a net curtain, not noticing! The music was perfect.

The panning enriches the intro wonderfully. Very cool sounds.

Part-1 (first 11 minutes) was calming and elusive..the second part all the way to the 22nd minute was harpooning my thoughts, just brilliant Chris! More like this...please.

Another way to enjoy this is open a second window in your browser and start Norm's Ilesa at the same time.

loving the broken timing that is synced again in the end. very very tense in the intensity of it.

Very well done!!!!!!!

Cosmic

Whose house were the other 20 seconds at? Intriguing sounds!

Stirring and mystical! My kinda morning!

Very cool.

this one's right up my street Chris. Nice.

What have i to say?........i listened and let the words words wash over me and enjoyed the experience...thank you

You made it into a classical piece - I love that. Great work Richard!

ohhh I didn't see you had uploaded this! To answer your question - it was a Yamaha - can't remember the model - it had 3 pedals - I agree about the low end but the high end was really weak in my opinion.

the scope of this is totally impressive

one of my favorite songs - done really well!

Beautiful Richard!!

this is an excellent song!

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.

This is cool! You made the google guitar sound like its going through a *huge* stack.

wow. very powerful words and music.

this is excellent - and unique!

lovely Richard! Sounds light music for a candle light dinner.

thank you for the listen and comment on my seagull improv.

Reg - he did do something like that one day - and yes it was great!

and the excellence of the music should be overlooked too.

Reg - you are one heck of a story teller! Have you considered writing a novel or short story?

Hi John, I like this one.

you should be creating music for sci-fi films!

I wish AT had a repeat button. I'm downloading this - great piece Norm!

I'm going to put this in my profile if it will fit. the question of how microtonality is perceived and why is a hotly debated one on the tuning list. There seems to be, in general, but not in all cases, shared intervals around the world, like the 5th. However non-western cultures use, in general, microtonal tunings. !2 equal notes to an octave is a relatively recent invention in the west. 300 years ago it was common for what would be now called a microtonal tuning to be in common, everyday use. As best as can be determined the push for 12 equal was all about changing keys in a single piece of music. If you take the tuning of the middle ages, Pythagorean, you find you can't play in any key despite having 12 notes because the intervals between the notes are not equally spaced. As a result when you take a pure chord and move it up or down the octave with the same distance between the notes it could become something hideous. 12 Equal solves that problem at the expense of detuning all notes, some more than others.

Hi Ricard, thanks for the listen and comment. It is probably hard not to hear 14 edo as out of tune since it so close to 12 but not quite there. I think then your sense of it being flattened and less bright is the result of the tuning.
