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.

Last one for today, promise. Two Old Friends - again from 1983 and created using 2 cassette decks,4 channel mixer, Fender Mustang, vocals. Lyrics by Evan Harrington.
Two Old Friends
Leaves bear mark of the changing of season
Soon to be crushed…
I also recorded this once through on the Martin and Zoom H-2 yesterday as well. One day I'll do a decent version of this, I promise. For now this is my modest Happy B-day to John.

I resorted to some unmarked old CDRs in the car today on my way to and from my Dad's (I brought him a new laptop) and found one of the earlier collaborations between Norm and myself.
This is dedicated to the families who have (and still…
I'm working on making this old song from Two Old Friends into a better version. Today I got inspired to pick up my daughter's 3/4 size Martin (which makes the runs easier) and recorded this on my Zoom H2.

This was way too short! Fabulous soundscape you guys painted. I think it should at least segue into something.
I listened to this again on headphones, which was well worth it!

We were having a little tipple down the cellar last night and we came up with a Christmas song for the festive season...hope you enjoy..........
CHRISTMAS TIME AT THE DRUNK’S HOUSE (Lyrics)
it's Christmas time in the drunks house
and the…
Well Jefferry came down the cellar this evening for a chat and a bit of consoling.................. so we decided to recant his tale of woe........................poor old Jeferry.............
I found my answer "These pieces are recorded live in my home studio. They are made with an electric guitar played through a laptop and a dedicated hardware looper."
Mozart's famous "Alla Turca" Sonata #11 in A major with period tuning and period pianoforte and period diapason of A4 = 415 Hz. Details http://chrisvaisvil.com/?p=1837
Another work in progress down the cellar.............a first cut...........
I KNOW HOW LOVE CAN FEEL(Lyrics)
I know how love can feel
I know that love can heal
i know i kneel before you
i know it can burn you, destroy you
i know how love can…
Thank you for the comments on Sympathy for a Friend. I didn't use a synthesizer. All of the sound is from one take on my 19 note per octave guitar + effects.
Sort of a Tuesday improv...
Built up around a synth texture that I built up with:
Operator->FilterStation->Volcano->Kombinat->Panstation->RP-Delay
(what's the fun in having plugins if you can't abuse them)
Heres a collab with Wildgeas Music a beautiful bit of music hope i did it justice with the vocal............
Tomorrow (Lyrics)
I know the curse of the darkness is coming
those dark nights that will feed upon my soul
with no forward glance of tomorrow…
So after hearing some of Stephen Krell's outstanding picking, I asked him if he'd like to play along with any of my songs... I can't be happier with the one he picked to add his banjo to (seeing as how the song is written about my favorite Pete…
Different recording here as the electric guitar, bass guitar were not plugged in, just recorded raw with a power mic and then EQ'ed to make it sound amped - pardon mistakes!
Nice song - I did finally get around to listening to it :-) So this is literally unplugged hard bodied normally electric instruments - I've never heard of this being done before - awesome idea!!

What do you have in your ambient rig? I am enjoying your work!
Hi Bethan - I have no idea who played it - but they did an excellent job. The midi file I found somewhere in the 90's.
wow - another side totally! I like the string / piano combination.
