very nice,,, im going to have to come back and watch the video,, in a way it reminds me of the softer side of Michael Hedges, have you ever heard of him? if not i think you would really enjoy looking him up,,,, this is very beautiful!! perhaps we could figure out some sort of piano and guitar colab... though im not sure how that might work with the tunings you use,, but perhaps i can re-tune my yamaha i use for recording,,, or we take care Richard,, and once again well done!!
This is an experiment where I slowed down Norm Harris’ percussion track “7th Son†http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son and slowed it down by a factor of five and ran it through effects and such – and then played along with my 17…
I played 12 string guitar and 5 string bass along with Norm's original percussion track http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son. The only effects were a bit of attack shaping on the bass (compression w/o compressing).
I did this kind of oddly…

This is the first time I picked up and tried to play a guitar that is in 88 cent equal temperament - the tuning does not contain an octave. Since this was the first time I made some mistakes. Nonetheless I think it sounds interesting.

This rough track uses my Blue Just Tuning system (go to www.johnsmusic7.com for details and a photo of the guitar). This is the same tuning Chris Vaisvil used in his Excluded By Peers piece. I hope to add some lead to the track soon.
Not sure where I was going with this, but it ended up quite dreary for what I thought were quite motivating lyrics.
Watch this space, it may well appear again with more upbeat music.

Now you are my lady and i’ll never understand why you had to runaround with that other man

Here's a cover of a zep classic...from Reg and Speed Demon Gene....Gene has done all the music and the mixing..thanks Gene ....and i'm responsible for the warbling..... hope you enjoy
Please - this is not the concept I asked her contribution for. I didn't feel right putting her voice up without a credit. But.... this doesn't do justice - I got things I need to do but I will have a better setting.
this is the conglomerate of the fifth song or first song from the mindtrip album that is about 4 min long and was stretched to 1 hr and 17 sec with the center cut out and posted here :) Thanks paul for the the stretch program.

A most mournful and lovely piece with a definite feel of Japan. A perfect accompaniment to your amazing photograph.
Fantastic playing there. Congratulations. Pity it's only a minute long though lol
Wow factor here! Fascinating video, kept stopping by the way, but shows that life still goes on. I like way you mixed the images. Wonderful chorale!
A most interesting and beautiful listen with lots of atmosphere. Lovely Chris!
Most interesting, thanks for it. Your music fits the content perfectly and adds stirring atmosphere.
*impressive!*
i thoroughly enjoyed this. jus read the description n understood as far as.. this is a guitar piece! some people really know their shit! tis a good thing
Almost sounds like a bit of Paulstretch going on there in parts.
very nice,,, im going to have to come back and watch the video,, in a way it reminds me of the softer side of Michael Hedges, have you ever heard of him? if not i think you would really enjoy looking him up,,,, this is very beautiful!! perhaps we could figure out some sort of piano and guitar colab... though im not sure how that might work with the tunings you use,, but perhaps i can re-tune my yamaha i use for recording,,, or we take care Richard,, and once again well done!!
I love the beats...wow! Kinda spooky this one! Very inventive!!
Picking up some medieval flavours towards the end - very nice!
Love the reverse touches - reminds me of something I was working on, but this is way better.
Lovely outdoorsy feel. Norm's beats cut through beautifully, while the 12 string holds my attention.
Great expression here! (Also, your "about" pics are fabulous!)
very nice sonic imagery.
Wish it lasted an hour...compelling and wonderful! Great!!
Such an awesome piece of music, the sci-fi waves compliment the tonal guitars that you add trough out the piece. Bravo Chris!
Very interesting sound... I should learn something about this, i didn't have any idea about it.
Amazing.......!
Spell-binding piece! Congrats on being selected!

and your grapics are stunning!
delicious!
nicely done! Love the vocal harmonies!
Thanks for listening. It is a 12 tet steel string acoustic guitar harmonically filtered with D 36.8 Hz as the root. So I'd say its harmonic series.
oh vocal harmonies to die for....
excellent!!

Desiree is back? Awesome tune!

Santana!!
I may try to add to this. Nice of you to offer that to all of us.
spectacular!
Lovely idea! Excellent vocals!
this is excellent! Nailed the leads!
yes!! Lovey!

ah this is intense!!
I take it this is with Paul's Extreme Stretch - I'm a big fan of what can be achieved with that software with the right input. I am enjoying this !
thank you for the listen and comment on Dedication. I am pleased you liked it so much!
great!!
