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!
Sung By John B - he also does most of the instrumentation. My contribution is simply that I wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and if you listen closely I play the guitar parts. A cross Atlantic collaboration.
two recorders and a flute get together in the back of a countryside English church late in the afternoon.....
NOTE --- you may need to turn up the volume a bit for this...

comments about…
Well, since I have not used MOTU SI I can't compare but you can since you can hear my Kontakt 4 sample set. Sonar 8.5 was / is a radical upgrade if you write more than classical music. But if one were strictly classical composition minded a better (rational!) program than Sonar to score with would make more sense to invest in than sonar 8.5 . I look forward to hearing what you are working on!
I own the piano score but I found an accurate score as a midi file on the net and started from there. (That saved a 2 or 3 hours at my pace.)
Then I loaded the file into Sonar 8.5 and orchestrated it by assigning instruments to the VSTi called Kontakt 4 and its Vienna Symphony samples. Adjusting velocities / color / and a few notes took 3-4 hours. The most difficult part was creating the final mix which I'm still not 100% happy with.
Hi Richard, there is a contest to make microtonal demo tunes with MOTU. Selection of contestants is over and now we all must make at least 3 microtonal demonstration pieces. The Dance of the Unicorn is in a werckmeister equal beating variant.
this prelude is very nice. the descending register pattern is a nice variation. I see you sneak in the left hand :-)
Wanna go for a ride? Hop on in! (Many thanks to JQScutt for his excellent guitar work!)

Lyrics:
Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race…
Took sandbag's [Andromeda 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/andromeda-1) and applied some BigSeq2 and LiveCut.
Added a little FM8 underneath.
And this happy little accident came out.
Did the guitar tracks first, followed by bass, then drums and vocals last. I wrote this song in a bookstore, after I came home and recorded it, I realized I made the song too short for all the lyrics.
Im talking, she's texting
Im givin…
Love like a salt river washing away
Love's like sunshine evaporate
Love like floating candles blowing away
Watch out for the way you'll compensate
When I've seen all you have to give
When I'm still hungry
I need more than this
Tell me how…
yelyah - “solo piano 20100411” semi live improv
Semi live in that I had an idea of where I wanted to go, but never locked the melody in (as is probably obvious).
Hi Richard - I don't like being bored :-) I also am experimenting with some success with microtonal music as well. Drop by www.notonlymusic.com and www.chrisvaisvil.com some time.
Now.... this is a lovely sensitive piece!

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 :)

Great vocal harmonies!
