I loved this reading when I first heard Reg do it
and noticed your desire to add music.
Well, what you have produced here Chris is ideal and I love the way it is longer than the poem which
enhances the atmosphere.
With Frank Miller on drums and bass as the band "2" - a rescue of a late 90's song grabbed from 4-track.

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…

This is one of my first alonetone collaborations written by Louis Smit.
Everyone should go listen to some of his tunes. Louis is a very original
and talented folk style acoustic guitarist- singer - songwriter.
You can hear him here.

This is a special request by Sister.
It's kinda sloppy. Frankly, because I suck at it :)
I'm not much of a cover musician but I gave it hell.
It's mostly analog. MIDI drums, DB33 organ patch,
strat leads, and Ibanez chords, Dean bass…
Hi - I enjoyed this composition very much. I would like to mention though that the volume was very low. So much so I have to normalize it to listen reasonably. Do you lack software to do this type of manipulation? (or was this on purpose?) In any event this piece impressed me enough to go through your series of sonatas!
CROSS-OVER POLYRHYTHMS
This is actually a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with **different meters** (i.e., a different numbers of beats/measure) are played at the **same tempo**: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms…

Did the guitar tracks first, followed by bass, then drums and vocals last. I wrote this song in a bookstore, after I came home and recorded it, I realized I made the song too short for all the lyrics.

I suck at most electronica genres (like trance - I don't like the 4 on the floor aspect) and I don't think I've given country a serious try yet as well.

Way to bring the jam to the people! Nice improv!
Is this stretched? It reminds me of jelly fish too. (You crack me up Bee!)
Well oh my, and OF COURSE this would be spot on! Reg's spoken word is...alarmingly attractive in this one. Swoooon! Sandbags x (OK, no, this is Tess)
Stirring and bold tapestry! The mix is amazing! Tess S
Agree with Kavin- Great work!
Sounds well creepy. I like the feeling of the ebb and flow. Reminds me of jelly fish!
Great work yawl. Even rivals the great Vincent Price's recitation.
Dark and ominous......switch those lights on......
Very much enjoyed that.
I think you guys need to team up and go on tour.
Very trippy song! Also, thanks for your advice I am on both Last.fm and Thesixtyone, although I only made a profile on thesixtyone a week ago.
very nicely, spoken, and very nicely, enhanced,,
This is wonderful.
Love it Chris you've turned it into a silk purse from my Pigs ear........
Oh, I was reading it up. What a lot of uses it has. Your track sounds incredible through head phones. I enjoyed it very much.

this is wonderfully sad and mysterious!

Excellent!!
Excellent sounds and I keep wanting to hear more of her :-) I especially like the percussion.
Beautiful!! In composition and execution.
Nice tune - so this is a cover?
Nice tune - like the production

entrancing! Not at all what I expected with "march" in the name - much more subtle and smooth - I enjoyed this one very much!
Awesome!!! This is so perfect!
