This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques.
Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is.
The piano, bass…
Remastered from 4 track circa 1987. The backing track was shoved into one track (drum machine, casio CZ-101 synthesizer bass, rythmn guitar) - the vocals are buried because I wrote a song that was way way too high for my range. The backwards-ness…
Normal IL - tantalizing close to Urbana where musicians are turned to the darkside of microtonality. Come, let me show you the power of a 19 note per octave guitar! Seriously - if you are interested at all you may want to make the drive.
Along with her magnificent harmonizing vocal tracks, Inge sent me one track which was crashed by her 2-year old son Willem. He pretty much takes over the whole operation at about 3:00.
In the background you can hear the original rough vocals…
I Got the Idea for this tune when I left Geir at Stanstead Airport.
Recorded it Last night after a Gig....
For the Folk Fest...

Norm set me these drums for Dancing on my own a while back but Reg went and dumped the file so we couldn't use them. So i'm using them now, while Reg gets Gone.........Thanks Norm
Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
Reg has this recurring dream of his fantasy women but she is always out of reach...........Thanks to Tess for letting me play with her tune.

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.

Wow....i love when i find amazing music i missed...that is some really cool fretless jammin...
It begins, ah, Nice! I was sorry when that ended. Well played! A very attractive composition!
Pretty sweet and sweeping.
Love these nylon excursions. Brimming with melodic ideas.
A stunning piece Chris. Builds with tension making anticipation. Love the glass marimba sounds. What a gloriously peaceful photo. Ah bliss!
based on the premise if we build it they will sec-come...The sounds speak of construction and excess in go-rash glass and steel
Golly, what a concrete jungle that photo shows! This is a very strong piece with sudden splashes of volume which are very effective.
Very good, I think because 17EDO has good fourths and fifths, and the usual CV touch makes it even better, John.
8:13 IN.....i am loving this.......
hey, i think "white boy with no rhythm" is a good enough excuse. ;)
I missed this one Chris. A really great rock song. The backing is punchy, solid and I think, right up there.
Quite the adventure - great tension!
Really cool sounds, nice one
Nice was that!
Chris does Blues! Good song and strong guitar playing.
A delicate composition, very pretty. The photo reminds me of what I didn't like about Houston.
This is expressive and solid. Bound together in the light of lights.
Love the flute it gives it a certain magic.....
Such a clear flute. An inspiring piece, strong and meaningful. A perfect partner for the reading.
Excellent!

like the indie vibe on this one!
beautiful piece!
nice jazzy number!
I love Inge's voice! - so rich. BTW - what guitar do you play - it sounds quite nice. A very good tune you both put together here.
I love your voice in this. Reminiscent of Gordon Lightfoot.
this is quite good. could I write music for it?
this is a great combination!!
interesting piece!
rockin' Reg and Norm - nice collaboration. Good combination if instruments.
loving the harp. this was a good choice!
I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
Nice work - a good combination.
wow! this harp work sounds great!!! Unfortunately the guitar pictured isn't the one in the recording (we'll get to that tomorrow)
You made it into a classical piece - I love that. Great work Richard!

the scope of this is totally impressive
one of my favorite songs - done really well!
Beautiful Richard!!
