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

wow - this is complicated!! and cool!

Hi, The Suicide is programmed actually and uses Kontakt sounds. I have a large number of manuscripts which I created in college and shortly after (before 90's no computer program I had could let me score reasonably). In this case, The Suicide, was scored at an upright piano and I could play it at the time. Its really easy to play.

wonderful!! So this is in part classical guitar? If so great tone!

bizarrely the opening bass riff sounds like the theme to green acres - a usa 60's sitcom.

sounds like my ferrets playing!

excellent!

yes! love the sounds here

this is nice indeed!!

one of my personal favorites too :-)

Dude! You own this place!!

Hey Richard - for Rumba - the guitar tunings are standard so if you want to play along on your piano it should work. If I remember correctly Brian laid down a basic I-IV-V in D major. I put 7th chords on top of that.

I'll see what I can up with.

nice work!!

this is excellent

excellent!! Love the sweeps. This is nicely setting Norm's percussion - cool tune!

nice jam - hot guitar - progressive rock

wild ride!

very cool electro!

downloaded to play again, and again!

yes, this is satisfying - very nice.
