I could've done with this last night - piped it in to the street, could've helped the trick or treaters keep their perspective!
(Especially when my neighbour's car was trashed by a young man with a baseball bat.)
Right, well I am here ready to be terrified for 32 minutes!
An atmospheric and creepy ride with sensational sound effects. Penetrating last note there.
This is a short soft Jazz piece I found while playing through a few chords this evening.
Guitar split (GR-20) left and right + (GR-20) sax.
Maybe a certain percussionist might join in when he can?

This is a solo piano performance using an M-Audio 88es midi controller, Pianoteq, and a tuning I devised that is based on a harmonic series segment reduced to one octave.

Please hit "more" — March 01, 2010 — I take a stab at performing a song live on video in several takes. Since this was an improvisation with a couple takes here and there it is not as polished as some may like.
if you want the full quality…
All of this is performed - Norm's many percussion devices, Fender Mustang, and GR-20 driven by the guitar for the rest of the voices excepting a bit of a choir at the end.
Ha! This was great fun for me generating a large number of interesting spooky noises -all acoustically- in my laboorratory. The chilling errie wind sound was created with a long spring, attached to the head of a small hand drum (known as a “spring drumâ€, of course) and the “opening crypt†sound was generated by running my thumb nail down the spring under tension. And any time I get to hit the 30†Paiste gong, you know I’m smiling –evilly in this case.

I extended my very short Halloween piece - doubled it in length - not too hard considering it still is only a minute long.
This is using the Garritan Personal Orchestra sample set.
2 organs, piano, flute, bassoon.

Deserts of the Higher Plane
Searches end, I had to admit
Mirages were never towns
Till I finally quit with my damages aloft
Holding what I can’t, what I can’t allow

Very uplifting, lovely melody - looking forward to hearing Bee all over this!

Excellent! Now I don't need to run out and buy one of those Halloween CDs to play for my trick-or-treaters.
Where do you think these things up. Really creepy but most effective. I listened to 10 minutes but got called away. Will be back!
You have me wanting to make scary sounds too...
Very pretty indeed. This would be perfect for Bethan
I'll sing it for you Chris! if you still want that is.... It's really pretty.
Love it!Great stuff! Fit perfectly.
Yes. Just yes.
Keep pushing that envelope! Tell me again, as you recorded this, are you listening to the tuning as we hear it in the recording?
AHhhhHhhhHHhhh!
Interesting tuning. Oddly disturbing and strangely beautiful at the same time
Great stuff there!
Lovely, lovely piece, beautifully balanced strings. A wonderful listen!
Provocative and powerful.
i like it.
