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…
Vaisvil's response to my question was enlightening: wild stuff!
"well, no actually, it is the Roland GR-20 that gets re-tuned. Performing in many tunings with acoustic instruments is problematic and while I've seen a few attempts none of them I could afford. One could de-fret and re-fret a guitar but not only is it time consuming you then have either many guitars or a commitment to one tuning for a good space of time.
So.. long story short - musical electronics are making microtonal music practical. Of course this is purely from a western perspective - other cultures have been performing microtonal music for millennial. Or, as a Turkish composer told me - the west is the real microtonal music because its the compromise compared to other cultures."

really very beautiful, and rich sounding, a lot of cool musical thoughts making a tapestry of sound,,, very nice,, the percussion underlying this is very interesting... i will be looking to see you guys on a movie track in the future well played
This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques.
Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is.
The piano, bass…
Ha! Epic Vaisvil ax work! I was too ignorant to realize that my headset metronome was getting picked up by the mic at the very end, at which time I was following Vaisvil's excellent suggestion of attempting some microphone/gong manipulation in which the mic was hand held, rotating it about an inch above the face of a simmering 32" gong. Wild stuff!
This is was originally for piano and is a fair assessment of my piano playing abilities in 1977 and was written in that year.

Is that live guitar or keys>? yet another good example of the cool variety of music you create, this almost sound like it could be a prelude to something bigger...

Stratocastor copy from a kit with lace pickups x 5 through guitar rig 4 against Norm Harris' Illesa in the Pantry!
very nice,, i like the relaxed feeling of "just" playing,, i assume this was improv? it has that feeling of freshness of someone (with talent to be sure) just out having a good time.... again very nice R

I think this needs a guitar solo but i'm not capable of doing it so if anyone would like to give it a go i would love to hear what you could come up with its in C. Otherwise i'm quite happy with it...now with a solo by Billy Jack
Please Don…
some mistakes, like playing live, but i make them right quicky. the song is for halloween and make of the lyrics what you will.
the drums have phaze on them. some of the soft guitars have phaze and flange. the beginning 2 1/2 mins are slow…
Chris Vaisvil sent me over some guitar to see what i could come up with…he also sent it to Phantasm777 to see what he could come up with on the drums and i might add has done a striling job with them….Chris then mixed it and sent it to me for…
yikes, hope i don't disgrace the beatles with this one. i tried to stay to the spirit of the song. obviously i didn't have a sitar and i didn't think i should need to re-create every sound effect they did, but i did many! one of my fav psyche…
i was trying to work on a piece for a shark video of mine, but this is what came out instead,, my piano moments collections are the small musical threads that emerge amongst/while i am working/thinking about other things,,,
Well last night just as i was of to bed , there was a knock on the door of the cellar and it was John & George they had come for a sess and i mean who was i to deny them…..they'd heard of the Beatle fest from Elvis…he could never keep quiet…
cover of the pink floyd song
dr alfredo de pietra on guitars and myself on vocal duties. a slighty different mix from the two versions at songcrafters.
love the sound - you should try to get a convolution reverb sample of this space. I'm not quite sure how to do that but the info has to be on the net somewhere.

You actually tune the Fender Mustang to the Sorog tuning, right?

Whew! That's a dandy production right there. Some great changes and that piano is sterling.
I still love it.
Wow, this is...wow.
My goodness, this is tremendous. The sheer scale and talent has me floored. Fantastic!
A great listen - Perfect buildup and rush.

I like stretched music - I do a lot of it myself - did you stretch a version of the Beatles Dear Prudence?
I usually don't fav songs i'm on... but it really was 99% Reg and Phan so...
Thanks for cooking up this collab - you and Phantasm rock!
haha! this is great!
Kavin - is this the same vortex space? Do you have a picture?
It has a Peter Gabriel feel!
