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!
Second movment,, perhaps a little rough,, comments welcome,,, 6/11 Third mov is now done,,, and very very different from the first two,, scares me a little
Hi Richard, keeping the peace in space is all guitar and percussion. I used guitar effects quite liberally on Brian's, Norm's and my parts. The opening is Brian stretched to 8x and the organ-like part in the last 3rd is Brian's guitar backwards in part and the the 2 chord set copied and pasted a few times.

did a remix of latest B-52s (ex B-52's) song "Funplex". i admit i didn't really take the time to polish this, so it might have some flaws here and there, but it was fun to do and after all, is this not what matters most? :)
and you can…
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…

3rd in concept form (much to think about)

Well, I make no claim to the authenticity of Ethno 2 samples - though assuming they are top notch is probably a safe bet. I just released a revised version to my private mailing list and here are the instruments:
This piece is a quasi-middle eastern section using the celtic 12, E, and D guitars and the lead Electric Bouzouki plus acoustic bass in Zurna tuning and the percussion includes Timbales, gong, Bendir, Daires, Darbuka, Tamborin, and Sistres.
Backyard Ghost sent me something to work on...i added my own touch and arranged it...i sent it to him and he added another of his touches and rearranged it and You've Had My Tears is the end result...we both love this collaboration...expect more…
Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…

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

cool!!
all of this sounds so real!
wow~~!!
I love this~!! excellent!! How did you get the advant guard sounds?
this is beautiful and moving. I wish I could play piano this well. Awesome work Richard!
Rockin!!
nice piece - good progression - does sound western
this is so expressive, especially once the piano comes in.
if you wish for me to take down my re-mix of your piece let me know.
excellent!! I really like this collab! The voice perhaps could be a touch louder other than that this is excellent!
wow. You have captured what St. Casimir cemetery sounds like at 4 am on a spooky fall night...
Man alive!! this is astounding!! what a trip!
As for the song icon for Don't Look Down - a friend made it for me and I am not sure what he used. Subway is a good bet.

this is wonderfully sad and mysterious!
beyond just excellent! This is a trip through space to another place, time, and existence! I can't say enough!
Excellent!!
Excellent sounds and I keep wanting to hear more of her :-) I especially like the percussion.
Beautiful!! In composition and execution.
