Aaron Krister Johnson is the founder of Untwelve and a virtuoso pianist. I was honored to have Aaron perform my piece
“Prelude for Prelude for Centaur Tuned Piano”
at an intimate Untwelve gathering last year on his piano which is tuned to Kraig…
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.

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…

Reg's little homage to Elizabeth Taylor who passed away today, the piano is a little dodgy and the lyrics and the singing in parts as i'm following my dodgy playing, it will have to be revisited but i thought i'd share anyway as i would forget…

A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.
(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…

Reg took a collaboration from Chris Vaisvil, Norm and threw it into the cellar last night and this is what was returned through Regs door this morning...... a tale from the old wild west.........................
Poor old Reg he cant figure it out!! ........ since he's been listening to his self help tapes to stop drinking he has never got any money and he just doesn't understand it, he keeps working coming home relaxing to the tape........... then when…
This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
With all the highs in Regs life, it had to equal out and Reg has dropped like a stone ........he's broken.........he's had a breakdown.....Well let's face it. It had to happen he was just pushing himself too much. Hopefully he can carry on the…
a bit smaller in length, a bit more up lifting, at least it makes me feel like lifting my arms up into the air when i listen... WN is a dialogue between two sides, so i suppose this is the section where the angles get their say,,,, dedicated to…

Well, who do think came down the cellar last night... Yep! you guested it, Charlie Sheen, he was none too happy. He should have been if the girls with him were anything to go by. He'd come to talk to Elvis about handling the Yes men and how he…

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
sweet, subtle. nice playing. the fxs are just right for the feel
Wow! A gorgeous piece and a superb pianist! Yeah, "Play it again, Sam!"
Got to agree with movement ...missed this one ...a hell of a collab gents
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.

wow you nail Elvis so well.
and I 2nd what Norm said - you have an amazing tonal control over your voice.
lovely
this just excellent - the production has great clarity too!
this is an excellent collaboration!
Thanks for doing this!!
hehe! excellent!
sounds like early Who - excellent!!
or the seventh son of a seventh son! My bass is looking at me :-)
I'm hating it too. Its just an infection I think. Nothing personal ;-)
great track - and yet another side to your voice.
this is a great idea well executed!
very beautiful!
powerful!
thanks for all of the listens and comments Richard. This is beautiful - love the choral writing.
nice!
wow - you woke the dead with this! Excellent tone!
wow - excellent!
and - poor Japan.
nicely done
