For improv friday
I did an experiment using Paul's Extreme Stretch harmonics function and Audacity.
I took a raw field recording (included here field recording http://notonlymusic.com/board/download/file.php?id=1187 ) and ran it through…
For improv friday
This is part 2 - see Keys at Lowes for an explanation of what I'm trying to do.
Ok, another try using base frequencies of 0.1, 3, 10, 17, 33 and 48 Hz spread in stereo space plus some of the original mixed in. (additional…
This is right up my street, you're really getting some fabulous timbres out of this. I tried the improvFriday site a couple of weeks ago but really had no idea what I was doing.

I don't use autotune either, though collaborators have been known to serlap some on me. Very rude. :-)
This is very pretty...and I can't see where you'd need tuning. Lovely, intimate vocal.

On the three GR-20 pieces uploaded 6/8/11 this is how it works. In a nutshell - my guitar replaces a keyboard - but can do more.
Everything you hear is driven by me playing my Fender Mustang in one improvised pass. Now, for each song the Fender Mustang by itself (or through an amp simulator) is heard - this sound comes from the traditional pick ups on the guitar. Besides that I have installed a Roland GK-3 pick up on my Mustang. This pick up has 6 tiny picks ups - one for each string and connects to a fairly large switch and then a 1/4" cable with some 11 lines - regular guitar output and 6 outputs for the GK-3. This cable connects to the GR-20 synthesizer / midi interface. The GR-20 first decodes, almost instantly, the note each string is playing. It then converts that to midi pitch information and shoves that out the back. More on that later. Also, since the GR-20 is a synthesizer besides, it takes the pitch information and routes it to an internal sound (if desired). The really interesting part is what happens when I route that midi output to my computer. At my computer Sonar lets me assign that midi data to any number of synthesizers / samplers/ what-have-you all at the same time. So, if I want a voice or strings or piano - no problem. As for drums - Kontakt has a really neat groups of sampled drum sets that are a combination of "one shots" and smaller loops. So for instance on one of the pieces when I played the C below middle C I got a snare roll, play the B below it I get the accent that finishes the roll. So, by playing many notes I get a complex assortment of drum sounds that are in time with my playing. I've used this technique before - I am learning how to control it better - and the response is different for each of the dozen or so drum kits packaged with Kontakt - and then consider the effect of different tempos - the result is a fair amount of variety.
Well Reg is a touch concerned about his new love Lorraine who has been missing for last two days and she's not answering his calls and his getting a little touchy about it ....a little insecure to be truthful........................
Who do…
So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...
"Driftwood"
Coming down…
Good one! You have a way, like The Boss, of touching something about life in your songs that just resonates. And judging from the comments -- resonates with pretty much everyone who hears.
I wanted to see how much "music" I could get out of one chord and four notes. Sorry that it has a sort of cheesy 80s sound at times, but that's when I started playing guitar and it's hard to reprogram your brain. The chord is Bsus2 and the solo…

The video is the whole point / show here. Please put into the comment section what you think the occupants of the car you see at 1:00 where thinking. Or alternately the kid on the bike at 1:20.

This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…

quiet laughter, clink of ice in glass
D min looks into the eyes of G min
a quiet romance begins

Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…
I went out during cover of night (to avoid looking like a total crackpot) with a violin bow & Zoom H2 digital recorder and bowed various things in the neighborhood. This is the best - a beautifully resonant 4-way stop sign.

actually both parts of the sign, or should I say, both signs, were resonant. And sure if I can talk Debbie into doing the video I'll be happy to - can't be too many traffic sign solos out there :-)
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
I'm always learning from you. Thanks man.
Beautiful... Non-dominant 7ths or otherwise.
Lovely improv!
nice piano improvisation I love it!

Arthur C. Clarke once wrote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". This was truly magical my friend :)
Mellow.
Glad you liked Holy Wind. Had to work on my bass for a few days...things had gone awry.
indeed, you don't need autotune at all ;)
Oh, deliciously offbeat! You always surprise me!
Mystical and beautiful.
very poignant - could/should be in a film
Ahh, very tenderly sung and played. Why would you need autotune anyway?
Woah, improvisation!? Awesome!!!
I don't use autotune either, though collaborators have been known to serlap some on me. Very rude. :-) This is very pretty...and I can't see where you'd need tuning. Lovely, intimate vocal.
psychedelic vid man. voodoo metal turns me on........
Heavy as Hell!
Awesome
Powerful words, rockin' guitar and vox!
Sorry, you used a viola bow on your guitar?! thats sick! such a wicked sound!

your vocal control amazes me - excellent story and song!

I'm liking this!
this is a cool rocking piece - but didn't you use B maj as a resolution of B sus in there?
yes I am. With *lots* of rosin on the hair.
naw, I have nothing to do with NMC or DJNS. I was a part of 2 star man and that was enough for me!
excellent - and great solo!
more than just paulstretch I'd say - or different. in any case a cool idea!
I like the groove you two get going on this.
and a lovely romance it was.
can't say I'm done 4ths - I'm usually fixated on 5ths - nice improv - did you play the synth at the same time?
lovely is too mild of a word - this is gorgeous and spell binding.
very enjoyable!
2 am at a smoky bar with an audience mesmerized by the band.
nice work - it must have been your doppelganger joining in !
the post was not resonant.
actually both parts of the sign, or should I say, both signs, were resonant. And sure if I can talk Debbie into doing the video I'll be happy to - can't be too many traffic sign solos out there :-)
a guitar player's guitar player you are!!
I wish I could have seen you do this - great!
