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?

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."

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

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

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.

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!

Quite a trip. Very Nice!

Awesome. Illegal Alien Autopsy

Cool composition - like the last 15 seconds especially.

Oooo, like it! w;-)

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...

it's very good!

very nice as usual!

take me to your leader!!!! well done Chris,, i had a lot of fun listening to this

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

Desiree is back? Awesome tune!

excellent doodle!

Santana!!

I may try to add to this. Nice of you to offer that to all of us.

spectacular!

Lovely idea! Excellent vocals!

this is excellent! Nailed the leads!

yes!! Lovey!

Please - this is not the concept I asked her contribution for. I didn't feel right putting her voice up without a credit. But.... this doesn't do justice - I got things I need to do but I will have a better setting.

ah this is intense!!

I take it this is with Paul's Extreme Stretch - I'm a big fan of what can be achieved with that software with the right input. I am enjoying this !

thank you for the listen and comment on Dedication. I am pleased you liked it so much!

great!!

very nice! A nice song and performance all the way around.

Pretty good - Rush has nothing on you! Of course we composed (but never performed) Singer's Overture quite some time before 2112....

I'm glad for the positive outcome. :-)

enjoyed this a lot!

what is the tuning? It has a nice feel to it. Sort of rag time floating in and out - is it 24 equal?

I love the backwardsness !!

lovely - you have such a talent for beauty!
