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!
Thanks for the listen and comment! Well, no, I was a short haired old man when that solo happened (anyone over 29 is old of course). I don't know what PiL means.
A short improv piece. I'm starting a new project, where I will post at least one improv video/recording online each week, and at the end of each month collate them into an album.
This is the first one. Since July is almost over, I figure I…
This is a tune that's been on the back burner for a bit. I was looking to get a dark Ultravox kind of sound. Anyone feel like puttin' on their Midge Ure hat???
Anyway, these aren't the droids your looking for.
Move along..............Move along.
Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
A few of you know I accidentally wiped out one of my SD cards that had all my works in progress on it. I'm just starting to piece it all together again - A slow process. This was supposed to be a reprise to "In My Head", but ended up being in…
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
this is one inventive piece! what a mix - are you sure you didn't grow up south of I-10 in Louisiana? You have that Cajun blues thing down and who'd expect you could get oboe and bassoon to work so well with it! wow.
Hi - thought I'd throw up an older piece today while I have time (doing work at the new house later). This is an improvisation with my Fender Mustang / Roland GR-20 combination retuned on the fly to 9 notes per octave "Sorog" tuning. I think…
Yes, as a matter of practicality one performs with volume greater than the actual Fender (headphones to the GR-20, amplification of the Roland GR-20 ) - although I have mixed the "normal" and "new" tunings together and in some cases that sounds nice and fairly unique.
Really nothing more than some voice leading practice. Unfortunately, I had no keyboard or orchestral samples when I did this, so I used Lilypond and TiMidity++ and step programmed it in a text editor. I've since bought Cubase and EastWest/QuantumLeap…

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.

love this video!
excellent! I love the percs and the mix of elements in this!
cool piece!
Nice and smooth.
nicely done~!
interesting ! What is your set up? It sounds as if you were recorded in a hall.
I especially like parts I and II - nice work!!
boy, are you ever going through a creative period - everything is sounding top notch - I love the percussion + ambiance style here. World electro?
interesting aggressive minimal electro
nice themes!
Sam sounds like one of the Indigo Girls :-) Very nice song everyone!
this is very good - like the solid vocal harmonies and leads.

This is a great tune - I love the percussion and the deep deep sounds.

nicely done - sounds a bit floydish. Introspective Roger Waters.
all of the compositions are wonderful - I feel emotion from your work.
this is a very nice progression against a pedal point and exposition. I agree the room acoustics are really great - it sounds great!!
very classical period sounding.
