This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! w;-)

Thanks for posting this, Chris. 2 hours of Chicago radio air time - sweet. You did a great job of music selection. Alas, I did miss hearing your personal commentary on the second hour, but it says something that the radio station thought enough of your work to feature it over a 2 week period.

Very cool!

Excellent! It's great to hear you back on the keys - I've missed it.

Slinks along wonderfully!

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.

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.

ohhh I didn't see you had uploaded this! To answer your question - it was a Yamaha - can't remember the model - it had 3 pedals - I agree about the low end but the high end was really weak in my opinion.

the scope of this is totally impressive

one of my favorite songs - done really well!

Beautiful Richard!!

this is an excellent song!

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.

This is cool! You made the google guitar sound like its going through a *huge* stack.

wow. very powerful words and music.

this is excellent - and unique!

lovely Richard! Sounds light music for a candle light dinner.

thank you for the listen and comment on my seagull improv.

Reg - he did do something like that one day - and yes it was great!

and the excellence of the music should be overlooked too.

Reg - you are one heck of a story teller! Have you considered writing a novel or short story?

Hi John, I like this one.

you should be creating music for sci-fi films!

I wish AT had a repeat button. I'm downloading this - great piece Norm!

I'm going to put this in my profile if it will fit. the question of how microtonality is perceived and why is a hotly debated one on the tuning list. There seems to be, in general, but not in all cases, shared intervals around the world, like the 5th. However non-western cultures use, in general, microtonal tunings. !2 equal notes to an octave is a relatively recent invention in the west. 300 years ago it was common for what would be now called a microtonal tuning to be in common, everyday use. As best as can be determined the push for 12 equal was all about changing keys in a single piece of music. If you take the tuning of the middle ages, Pythagorean, you find you can't play in any key despite having 12 notes because the intervals between the notes are not equally spaced. As a result when you take a pure chord and move it up or down the octave with the same distance between the notes it could become something hideous. 12 Equal solves that problem at the expense of detuning all notes, some more than others.

Hi Ricard, thanks for the listen and comment. It is probably hard not to hear 14 edo as out of tune since it so close to 12 but not quite there. I think then your sense of it being flattened and less bright is the result of the tuning.

This is beautiful! I love the bluesy feel. Would it be ok if I try to add to this?
