A good friend and percussionist Norm Harris contributed percussion to this track – A Cast of Billions - so I ripped out all of the midi percussion and used Norm’s percussion, added a track where I speak Evan’s poem and did some remastering…
This is wild! Strangely attractive, inspite of the voltage noises you push through my head. A couple of great guitar licks, around 2:30 and love the rhythm guitar riff around 5:45.
Your percussion work is top notch.
This started up while I was commenting something else... initially I was going to stop it, but something dragged me in... I was over halfway through before I realised I'd stopped typing!
Nice one, well worth a listen... it kept my attention all the way.
(I do hope I actually pressed send on the other comment - I keep forgetting to when this happens!)
The only thing notable about this cover of George Harrison's The Art of Dying is that it is one take (of *many* blown attempts) with the only edit being adding a bit of choir at the end using the midi data from the Roland GR-20. And no I didn…
Just an improvisation for ImprovFriday - recorded on my Zoom H2 in the expensive acoustic guitar room at my local guitar center.
I had to switch to mono because I had the zoom too sensitive and created a series of pops on one channel. This…

I hope you can see the above picture - I scored a 15 chord autoharp zither for $42 on ebay. 4 old guitar strings later (I save them... just in case :-) and a tuning against an organ patch she is working nicely again. Can't wait to show Emily…
In response to a suggestion of Dr. Ozan Yarman I tried a tuning he created for a different project. I realized the composition using Garritan Personal Orchestra Baroque organs, Garritan World sample set Oud and Santoor samples performed on an…

I wrote this song about 2 years ago and shared it here on Alonetone back then. I decided to do a studio recording of it recently. With the help of the team at F5 Soundhouse here in Minneapolis we've created this updated version. I hope you enjoy…
Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too

Putting my own stank on a cover from another mother. Jeff is brilliant and so is Stevie Wonder who wrote and George Martin who produced Jeff's Grammy winning version. What Greatness!

I'm fascinated currently with alter'd tunings and I don't mean the altered open guitar tunings used in a lot of acoustic folk, celtic and instrumental guitar which I have done and they are all great and inspiring. I'm speaking of the alter'd…

Cool playing - comforting song choice. RIP Johnny Stone. x
funny post. I like the interuption.
Sounds pretty sweet! gotta love guitar center.....
Loving this sound wow!! and the video got me too. Hope your feeling better. What did you edit the video in?
This video/improv event you mention. Where is this event located? This song isn't playing. The video is working. 100% great!
Nice improve, microtonal you say>?
Totally inspired! Zither adds real zing!
Kinda unnerving!
Very affecting. Powerful stuff, Mr V.
Very cool, I love this. Excellent playing.
Agree with John excellent
No need Chris, I found the scale on your website. John.
Wow, this is great. Chris, could you please email me the scale and the name of the scale. I want to know more. John.
so nice, I am thinking cutting the segments even closer - together and then stretching it to about and hour plus :) ?
oh I really like this so so much :)
I like the guy trying to sell you the guitar in the mist of a record :) excellent RL effect.

nice that you are doing it all - you've grown alot in musicianship over the years!
this is so touching...
There is something very vital here. I really like it.
Zeppelin III had a lot of special songs and this was one of them - excellent choice and execution!
Great!
This is wonderful!
Love - indeed too long!
This as well is wonderful too!
This is certainly one of the best I've heard by an internet artist, period. Superb writing and performance.
Lovely song and performance!
Beautiful piece!
look on youtube for this Thomas Dolby - The Devil Is An Englishman
that is some great guitar and vocal! Love the harmonica too!
I agree with fairynuff! And thanks for the comments!
gosh this is lovely!
Oh yes! One of my fav Zep tunes!!
ha!! groovy!
nicely exotic Jim!
As fairynuff says this is powerful.... I pray (literally) this isn't autobiographical.
nice work!!
