This is a smooth jazz piece built around Norm Harris' percussion using Garritan Jazz and Big Band sample set with the Aria player and a touch of tonehammer's Francesca sample set. Something Norm and I did last April.
Scored for upright bass…
I had not touched my keyboard for a long time - couple months? So it was inspiring to play it again. I set it up in the living room of the new house and played pianoteq on my laptop using a Just Intonation tuning (below). Actually I had to improvise…

That bass is simply too cool. I love what you have done with this pattern. Almost has an eastern feel in places...
Having grown up near Winfield, KS (home of Dorothy), I can assure you that they have never heard anything like this before - they'd love it! They'd probably bake you a pie for the opportunity to do a little "scat" vocalization on the mix, and, afterwards, while tending to the livestock, they would ponder about the possibility of there actually being 3 kinds of music: country, Western & JAZZ.

Hi - thought I'd throw up an older piece today while I have time (doing work at the new house later). This is an improvisation with my Fender Mustang / Roland GR-20 combination retuned on the fly to 9 notes per octave "Sorog" tuning. I think…

Yes, as a matter of practicality one performs with volume greater than the actual Fender (headphones to the GR-20, amplification of the Roland GR-20 ) - although I have mixed the "normal" and "new" tunings together and in some cases that sounds nice and fairly unique.

So when you are playing this song on the Fender Mustang, you are hearing it in Sorog tuning, right? But the note that you are playing on the guitar is changed to another pitch by the Roland, so you must have the headset plugged into the Roland output, right?
Got a lot of bad news this week and this came out.......

My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
This was written after an incident in the early morning hours as I was waking. It wasn't really a dream but the whole thing came to me as the lyrics tell.

some work done in conjuncton with Reaper... while wearing the grim Reaper t-shirt. :) this is an excerpt - part of track one none of track two but can stand alone if need be..
haven't done a song that was laid back in a while, no fuzz, no distortion.
this is sort of a laid back prog song about a woman in, or your dreams that made an impact at the time, though she was never really there.
it runs about 9:16. thanks…

An exercise in dissecting a well known song to see what makes it tick. Drums are looped, bass is not in tune, guitar is not quite right, but I'm slowly getting there. Will update this later. Somewhen...

Very cool!
Excellent! It's great to hear you back on the keys - I've missed it.
Slinks along wonderfully!

oooh, that's FN pretty!
A wonderfully jazzy piece played with harmonies to die for, and Norm, of course. This guys is great!
very mellow,, and again nicely done,,it's inspiring to hear all your different works
very nice Chris,, notes are very clear,,, well played,,improv can be a lot of fun
very beautiful sounding
beautiful piece, and maybe my fav, of your microtonal repertoire..
Sweet!
so very nice!
Yes, most relaxing. Lovely piece!
Rainstorm music! Beautiful...crazily potent!
Spartan with a complicated sound - That is pretty damn cool.
Very cool.
Delicate and serene. Beauty indeed.
A masculine piece with an oriental flavour. Most interesting and different.
