very cool Chris,, i find this very interesting,, you have great depth/sense of space in this, it's kind of neat viewing the photo and listening,,,,,nicely done
omg I hopes this isn't doubling up one the post but...OMG So intensive !!!! @15_edo those three extra notes fit in so nice there's more to it..please never stop playing like
A great sound Chris. Reminds me of bagpipes.
I can just see them all spinning in the great hall with the hog on the spit and the pewter mugs full of ale.
Gosh, what a sorry picture. Shame, all it does here is rain.
This is a very well designed track to go with the drought scene. It would be wonderful in a tv documentary! The sounds are awesome!
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.
Really nothing more than some voice leading practice. Unfortunately, I had no keyboard or orchestral samples when I did this, so I used Lilypond and TiMidity++ and step programmed it in a text editor. I've since bought Cubase and EastWest/QuantumLeap…
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-)
nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey called me a few days ago with some urgency in his voice: "I must record this before…
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
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.
The last track that I'm going to upload for a while. I will be re-recording a few songs to release a LP under my own name. Hopefully it'll be good :)
This one is another exploration using loops and delays. I hope you like it!
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)
last eve there was a beautiful moon
dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…
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.
Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul.
Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez.
Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along.
Enjoy.....
filled…

Mmm, well I am a melody girl really, but can appreciate the work and expertise that has gone into the making of this track. Nice fade out!
I can't think what that photo is about. I have a few ideas but .... Beautiful music Chris, so well played. Bee
I like what you did here - This tune deserves to be somewhere, like a sci-fi movie maybe.
very cool Chris,, i find this very interesting,, you have great depth/sense of space in this, it's kind of neat viewing the photo and listening,,,,,nicely done
Revisited - I still like it!
I dig the textures - Almost like Dick Dale on acid, moving to Jimi in places. Well done, I love it!
Bee told me about this one - she was utterly moved and I can hear why. A wonderfully beautiful, exciting piece, CV.
Stirring and magnificent!

Wow! I feel this should be played in Westminster Catherdal. Chris, it's beautiful, truly. She looks like a child in this painting.
Sorry, Chris, I keep doing that. The last comment was Bee x
A great sound Chris. Reminds me of bagpipes. I can just see them all spinning in the great hall with the hog on the spit and the pewter mugs full of ale.
Transported back to the 1400's
great feeling in this,,,
Came back for another listen.Love the apparent simplicity.
Very pretty, I was captured by the first few notes.
Oh, isn't she beautiful! A most beautiful piece of music too Chris. Bee
this sounds like an appeal to God for some more water ... guess that is the boat that floats ,, very clean sound work and textures ll
this is pleasant in sound and texture a mellow construction :)
Gosh, what a sorry picture. Shame, all it does here is rain. This is a very well designed track to go with the drought scene. It would be wonderful in a tv documentary! The sounds are awesome!

This is a great tune - I love the percussion and the deep deep sounds.

nicely done - sounds a bit floydish. Introspective Roger Waters.
all of the compositions are wonderful - I feel emotion from your work.
this is a very nice progression against a pedal point and exposition. I agree the room acoustics are really great - it sounds great!!
very classical period sounding.
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-) nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.
wow - this is complicated!! and cool!

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!!

I'll see what I can up with.
nice work!!
