microtonal piano improvisation
it was pointed out to me at 2:54 you can hear Mary Had a Little Lamb - totally unintentional and in a completely foreign tuning to boot!

Organ in 15 Porcupine - I'm not very happy with this. I've fussed with it for a couple hours and it still sounds like disembodied phrases thrown together haphazardly to me. YMMV
Angelos Quetzacoatl composed this piece and then we performed it on video for your enjoyment during a recent visit. Angelos plays fretless guitar and I play fretless bass in 24 edo (quartertones).

This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?
While wiring up a new FX processor in my studio I was messing around with this classic traditional sea shanty. Probably because at this time last week I was playing at the Harwich (UK) International Sea Shanty Festival. Anyway, while messing around…
Orphans were asked to contribute a track to a new 'Halloween Compilation' - released by Whiplash Records - this is our cover of the Coops 'Dwight Fry' - Hope you enjoy!
For this track I used a scale that John McLaughlin once mentioned in an interview, which I later figured out was a Phrygian Dominant scale with the flat-6 omitted.
Thanks for listening.
Inspired by a "flash of gratitude", to the Universe, God or whatever..sitting in the warm summer heat watching my sweetie tend her plants, puffy clouds filling the sky and surrendering to the momentary bliss.

My final comp project of the year!
This is the first movement of my violin sonata. ("Concision" is the second movement).
I incorporated some metal and dubstep elements. It really gets going after 1:30.
Another week of classes and onto…
Another full band cover of an acoustic Kurt song. Apologies to KC for the guesswork.
LYRICS:
One less side of me
Wonder how I breathe
I know that I need
Just because
you want my seed
Seems to me that harvest’s overgrown
Step aside…
a bit of doodling turned into this .....
The clock strikes midnight and Jennys heading home

It has long been the role of the troubadour to challenge and lampoon Authority through music. This is one such piece, written following a speech by the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in which he spoke of African slaves…

Interesting combination of musical sounds
Crazily inventive! Great stuff, CV!
Interesting. Not familiar with Lainhart. Will have to check out his work
I didn't hear Mary had a little lamb. Oh it's at 2.54
pretty so pretty :)
Yes, why not give it a rest for a while and come back to it later. You may surprise yourself. It's all there, you just need to fine tune it perhaps.
Very inspiring, guys!
Impressive runs!
Aw, now I want curried porcupine...
Call it what you like, I enjoyed it.
You are wacked for sure my friend :) Love the tones. I still can't get a handle on microtonal myself though I like it when you do it!
Can one have too much curry?
Well even porcupines need love! "Sorry they're so sharp" uh hu!
Has all the fascinating flavours of India.
It's interesting watching you guys working together. I could make the tea!
You get the prize for innovation! It's very interesting watching you guys. Ah! cute kitty!
Just found the headphones in 3 year old's bed. The tones have come alive and anyway, how do you play that thing?
Nice!
This is insane!!!
I can hear the quarter tones. Intriguing!

A beautifully crafted song.
Someone needs to take the Dr's prescription pad from him. I think Gobbels would appreciate this bold rewriting of history. Its sweep is asphyxiating
