This is an loop station improvisation with my death metal strung up strat (low B - effectively a baritone guitar - which I did see one at Guitar Center a couple weeks ago) with some layered synths afterward.
Hopefully you'll find it as…

that second dissonant chord construction is tense or intense or extensively extreme// this is so neat of a composition it could go on and on IMO :) well done..
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…

Great subject matter you have captured the suspense and Mystery and horror....similar in feel not content of the music Jaws the way in which it feels like he is encircling his prey....an excellent feel to this piece.. love it
This starts at essentially the same improvisation pattern and then travels elsewhere - I think I like the Martin version better myself. This one is in stereo.

Well, I feel almost human today. Been a rough few days with the flu or something. I'm running on a baked potato - seems I can't each much else yet. It was ironic that I became sick just when I went to pick up a Boss Loop Station I found for half…

Really nothing more than some voice leading practice. Unfortunately, I had no keyboard or orchestral samples when I did this, so I used Lilypond and TiMidity++ and step programmed it in a text editor. I've since bought Cubase and EastWest/QuantumLeap…
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-)
nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey called me a few days ago with some urgency in his voice: "I must record this before…
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
Hi, The Suicide is programmed actually and uses Kontakt sounds. I have a large number of manuscripts which I created in college and shortly after (before 90's no computer program I had could let me score reasonably). In this case, The Suicide, was scored at an upright piano and I could play it at the time. Its really easy to play.
The last track that I'm going to upload for a while. I will be re-recording a few songs to release a LP under my own name. Hopefully it'll be good :)
This one is another exploration using loops and delays. I hope you like it!
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)

Hey Richard - for Rumba - the guitar tunings are standard so if you want to play along on your piano it should work. If I remember correctly Brian laid down a basic I-IV-V in D major. I put 7th chords on top of that.
Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul.
Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez.
Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along.
Enjoy.....

I had some lyrics describing a late nite cake baking experience kicking around. If I have a lot on my mind, dirtying every dish in the house seems like the right thing to do.
I stole some cool percussion from Norm and went to work. I also…

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
ahhhh so so nice ., very well done. we need to collaborate on something at some point with soft guitar work like this looped through the piece :)
interesting tones,,great use of GPO, very nice sound quality,,
What a creepy bastard JD was. Good thing they got rid of him in jail. Goes to show you, looks are deceiving. Sad to think humans used to eat one another all the time. Nature can be such an ugly b!tch. A documentary on him said he ate people because he wanted to keep them close, so they would never leave.
Such a harmless looking beast....
Terrific! I like the bits that start at 1:30 or so. Cymbals are perfect.
goodness this is pretty, gravity is everywhere. so I have found ...

Love the Eastern flavours you're cooking with more and more these days - great stuff from El Norm also.
Great subject matter you have captured the suspense and Mystery and horror....similar in feel not content of the music Jaws the way in which it feels like he is encircling his prey....an excellent feel to this piece.. love it
Hypnotic! Wow!! Captured some real power here!
Love this riff - not sure which I prefer, I think the other has the edge...but love the extra improvised bits here.
Totally original - great effect with the mandolin!
Woah, did I? Go me! This is magical - tranquil and mystical with a sting in the tail.
Back for another visit loving this
excellent..... love the Conrads poem and the performance of it....a real mystery going on with the sounds in the second half.. Conrads voice reminds of someone of the Lou Reed album the Raven
7/8 = awesome pick for this song.
Excellent! Percussion is top notch!
Is that you or a vocal-sample?...wow this cool stuff....kick percussion with both hi-hats fit right in...this is intense!
Nuthin' unsteady about those hands. Great work! And what WAS that stuck to the eave?
i hear a music of, long vistas, desolate but beautiful landscapes,, weither it is internal or external, i can not be sure... Chris, this very will done, on many levels R

all of the compositions are wonderful - I feel emotion from your work.
this is a very nice progression against a pedal point and exposition. I agree the room acoustics are really great - it sounds great!!
very classical period sounding.
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-) nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.
wow - this is complicated!! and cool!

wonderful!! So this is in part classical guitar? If so great tone!
bizarrely the opening bass riff sounds like the theme to green acres - a usa 60's sitcom.
sounds like my ferrets playing!
excellent!
yes! love the sounds here
this is nice indeed!!
one of my personal favorites too :-)
Dude! You own this place!!

I'll see what I can up with.
nice work!!
this is excellent
excellent!! Love the sweeps. This is nicely setting Norm's percussion - cool tune!
nice jam - hot guitar - progressive rock
