This is a serial improvisational piece (excepting some drum loops) in John O’Sullivan’s Blue JI tuning (which I rather like) – all of the instruments, African log drum, Nigerian log drum, Krin slit drum, Teponaxtli, Toere, Kaekeeke, Kalaau…
I'm surprised I forgot to post this collaboration with Norm and Char.

I have been exploring Sonar X1 and one of the ideas on my list was to apply the apreggiator to a piece of music that was classical and used the harmonic series – just sounded like a good idea. Well, here is the…

Well, I finally got my hands on a 17 note per octave electric guitar thanks for Brad Smith, a local Luthier who did a lovely conversion of a Jay Turser strat copy I bought at the local Guitar Center for $65. The guitar is nicely very bright…

Artist's description:
Music composed by Chris Vaisvil, Mike Barry, lyrics Chris Vaisvil. This was performed live and recorded on a reel to reel in a basement. Its over 20 minutes at 64kbps. Two electric guitars, keyboards, and drums. Our contribution…
epic 20 min recording. Anyone who played in the 80's can see though the familiar low-fi tape contribution. Its almost, nostalgically better in a way...love the change ups at 5:20 - 6:10 etc.
A quick little tune written in appreciation of a small expression of contentedness.
I can see in that little smile
You're living for the moment
Every once in a little while I catch it
No one else could match it
You're more than meets the eye
I purchased a new M-Audio midi keyboard during RPM. The software alone was worth the $100.
There was no chance I was wasting any time during RPM with a learning process.
Today, I got the opportunity to install the software and plug it in. This…
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
a song about an old flame that just won't burn out. it's a ballad of sorts, with a harder ending. i did this in about 7 hours. in the middle section i am playing guitar without a pick for the first time in a recording (big deal hey?)
A rubbish track by Tess got the Sandbags treatment here - the results only hold shades of the original. And it's just as well.

my tribute to a very underrated, underappreciated band. 40 yrs ago thier self titled lp came out, and i cover one from the lp as a tribute on thier 40th anniversary. im not a lead guitarist, and a new singer, so please bear with me on that.
I was listening to Jesmiaus earlier Trick of your love (RPM2012) and it gave me an idea for my first RPM this year...so thanks Will...... hope you all enjoy this....i did doing it...they say smoking weed can make you schitzophrenic but i’m not…
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
Hi Kirk, typically it is easiest to start talking about notes as numbers in the tuning. So say for instance a a fifth would be from note 1 (or 0) to note 12 (11). This page may help http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/19edo
*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
It's like an Irish folk cinematic feeling:)
Like. Thanks for bringing my favorite Poe(m) to life!
This just reconstructed my mind and further more it's brilliant Chris!
very nice,, i am just starting to use the garritan po, think i'll look into the world samples,,,, very nice piece
*staring at his stat copy in the corner.....* do you need more notes lil' buddy? do you? ;) Really dig the sound!
Sounds a bit like Ravel's Bolero. How about a bit more volume on the music and a bit less on the percussion? John.
Very nice tune. but now you make me consider buying the Garritan World set too. ;-) These tuning capabilities in the new player are really awesome
Nice one Chris. Very pretty. Love the pipes and the percussion.
Oh well recited. I thought it may have to compete with the band but no, that was great!
Such a pleasing tone!
Most interesting, different and well played.
That's so cool, and great tone! I want more notes too!
Oh boy. Don't forget to eat & sleep once in a while. I can't wait to hear what you come up with on this thing...
Interesting. I'd love to have a go at one of those myself
where do we start?. Have you something in mind?
I'd love to.
nice! and such a comfy sounding tuning.
Nice intro-45 seconds-nice! Simply great~
Wild.

enjoyed this a lot!
what is the tuning? It has a nice feel to it. Sort of rag time floating in and out - is it 24 equal?
I love the backwardsness !!
lovely - you have such a talent for beauty!
I got an m-audio 88es - big brother - very good keyboard. This is a very nice piece - and the title theme is excellent~
excellent!! and I love the photo too!
that makes more sense...
yes, the bluesy part.
I saw autoharp and I had to listen. I really like this song. Very nice vibe to it.
enjoyed - like Kate Bush meets Tori Amos at Apex Twin's home studio.
well, Iceland is about half-way - I say we have an Alontone party in Reykjavík - perhaps we can get Bjork to join in!!
this is lovely - way way too short!!
excellent - never heard the original but I love what you've done here.
awesome!!
once again - simply beautiful!
beautiful!
Love the vocal split - excellent rock ballad
hi Kavin, Wondering Aloud is on my list!
