Goodness knows why it got me thinking about Bomber Command WWII.
As you know, I do not get ambient tracks, but I was playing solitaire here on the laptop while listening to this epic and I really enjoyed it.
I liked the 10 minute mark where we had a different texture for a while too.
This is a 19 note per octave solo electric guitar improvisation played in classical guitar format recorded in Sonar X1 with Guitar rig and Lexicon reverberation. Makes it hard to classify for what audience would want to listen to it I guess. The…
Excellent! Something between Ummagumma and Obscured by Clouds.
I've looked at the UnTwelve website, as you suggested. I'm not sure I'd able to compose anything in microtonal, but I might give it a try.

I got to play this $3,000 8 string baritone Taylor today. Had I $3,000 at all it would have been mine! It has to be one of the best guitars I've ever played and an ingenious string combination.
This is a one guitar (Fender Mustang) improvisation leveraging my GR-20 into bass guitar, strings, synth wash + strumming and percussion. At 2:58 my low A string breaks and then my left forearm and hand cramps up. But it was fun as it lasted.
Ah Chris, lovely track.
Who cares about the odd note here and there, it shows you played it through.
Crumbs, I wish I could!
Still can't get F or B - small hands!
I take my hat off to you sir!
i was listening to a post of this Beatles cover by oldrottenhead this morning,,it is a really great song, so this evening i sort of just sort of sat down an let it happen,,i didn't even really know the song as much as i might like,, but i find…
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.
Added a little more to this nice little change of strumming patterns played as an excuse to write a little love song.
I FOUND LOVE
You know I love you more than I
Ever thought one simple man could
You know I need you more than I
Ever…

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
Lyrics:
======
I hate you when you breathe. Could you stop?
Waking up is hard to do when sleep never comes
But your ugly faces woke me up...
Callous sycophants
I know you too well to rest again
I'll stay up forever. I'll be ready
I've seen…
The island of Cuba was a Spanish possession for almost 400 years (1511-1898). The land-owning elite held social and economic power, supported by slaves, both indigenous and of South American and African descent, until slavery was abolished…
these are the dronishness effects going thru my mind at times..
I have the midi files saved if you would like them? although some of this is performance midi records If I can say that? ;)
A composition for 3 piece jazz band, tenor sax, fretless bass, and drums in 14 equal divisions of the octave and 5/4 time. This was realized using Garritan Jazz and Big Band sample set and Sonar X1.
I'm going to put this in my profile if it will fit.
the question of how microtonality is perceived and why is a hotly debated one on the tuning list. There seems to be, in general, but not in all cases, shared intervals around the world, like the 5th. However non-western cultures use, in general, microtonal tunings. !2 equal notes to an octave is a relatively recent invention in the west. 300 years ago it was common for what would be now called a microtonal tuning to be in common, everyday use. As best as can be determined the push for 12 equal was all about changing keys in a single piece of music. If you take the tuning of the middle ages, Pythagorean, you find you can't play in any key despite having 12 notes because the intervals between the notes are not equally spaced. As a result when you take a pure chord and move it up or down the octave with the same distance between the notes it could become something hideous. 12 Equal solves that problem at the expense of detuning all notes, some more than others.

Hi Ricard, thanks for the listen and comment. It is probably hard not to hear 14 edo as out of tune since it so close to 12 but not quite there. I think then your sense of it being flattened and less bright is the result of the tuning.

I thought that all worked really well together. Brave man for trying something different.
I love this song. We used to give it welly in morning assembly at the convent. Wonderful stuff!
I love that tone.

Now I want noodles.
got a vibe of Black Sabbath running through....haunting vocal.....excelllent ..love that dark vibe ........
an intriguing listen - nearly mashed up my speakers but was worth it!
Nice!
Wild tune.
Great Job Chris...loved it
Cool! Always wondered what those things were like. Thanks!
Not too repetitious at all. Very nice!
I forgot to mention I really like this, repetition and all!
A most enjoyable and perfect accompaniment to my solitary breakfast. Ah, that's lovely Chris! What coins are these then? Aztec?
I pressed the wrong button again. Oh I'm so rubbish! Try again Bee! I said, Cool improvisation here. Gutsy and string snappingly good.
I most certainly think it was worth sharing.

Very enjoyable. Thanks.
I'm a sucker for acoustic. Thanks for sharing.

the scope of this is totally impressive
one of my favorite songs - done really well!
Beautiful Richard!!
this is an excellent song!
finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
This is cool! You made the google guitar sound like its going through a *huge* stack.
wow. very powerful words and music.
this is excellent - and unique!
lovely Richard! Sounds light music for a candle light dinner.
thank you for the listen and comment on my seagull improv.
Reg - he did do something like that one day - and yes it was great!
and the excellence of the music should be overlooked too.
Reg - you are one heck of a story teller! Have you considered writing a novel or short story?
Hi John, I like this one.
you should be creating music for sci-fi films!
I wish AT had a repeat button. I'm downloading this - great piece Norm!

This is beautiful! I love the bluesy feel. Would it be ok if I try to add to this?
