I abuse Jeff Lynn's (ELO) wonderful song.
I sing it a minor 3rd lower then originally recorded by ELO since I wanted to use my 12-string guitar and it is a lot easier to play tuned down to reduce the tension a bit.

12 string rhythm…
I saw discussion of Bleu tuning on the yahoo tuning groups – all of which were tempered to a pure octave. Embolden by Andrew Heathwaite’s 88 cent guitar I decided to try the tuning without tempering to make the octave pure. So I made a scala…
Hello, I thought I'd upload a track from 1993's Strange Beauty today. It was reviewed by the WMR (Weekly Module Reviews) team (in 1996 I'm guessing.) These reviews were published on "uesnet" about music posts to the same system - Usenet is an…

5 string bass guitar solo.
Here is me and my 5 string bass, which I really, really like playing despite the pain in my pinky to make those stretches I hear in my mind. The name seems stupid - but way better than STE-018cn.
If you can add to…

I also recorded this once through on the Martin and Zoom H-2 yesterday as well. One day I'll do a decent version of this, I promise. For now this is my modest Happy B-day to John.

RPM 2011 number 2. Inspired by an ex-friend of mine who had the most dazzling rose tinted glasses. Always used to envy the simplicity of his view and how nothing could ever get to him (everything gets to me).. since i knew him I know a lot of…
Outland (The Ballad of Jarrod X)
words and music by VIVIAN CIRCLE
Mother, why did you lie to me?
I didn't have to make the same mistakes as you.
Father, why did you run away?
There was so many things left unspoken with you.
Jarrod walks…
Chris sent me this great tune playing his 17 ET guitar and fretless bass, and for some reason i thought Mafia instantly. Sammy the Bull was the under-boss to John Gotti back in the 80's and 90's and he turned informer to bring John Gotti down…
Improvisation using segments of the vocal track from Chris Vaisvil's piece Sweeney's Agony and sample fodder, played via midi keyboard, with live computer processing.
Was going to layer or track this into the jumping on 2 but could not do that legitimately anyhow by the end I start part of the jumping on 2 song, coming next. first here i set the levels then at about min 2 something I sync the beats between…
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
Great beat mate dig it. Thanks for listening and commenting. Cheers.
wow.... just wow... and im only a minute in!
I don't fully understand the technical side but it makes for an interesting listen.
Divine Madness
One of my favorites man. Cool choice for a cover tune.

Nicely done.
Nice one mate great job.
Wild mix mate very cool.
Very very nice!!!
Agree with Norm - and this is a great song that's new to me. Lovely.
Oh man! Arranged like a Bond theme! Bold, bright and brilliant!
Raw blues - love this kind of thing. Am now going to analyse the crap out of your improvised lyrics! :D
Great sound!
The parts around 2.12 are completely uplifting - great stuff!
Perfect title - great conceptualisation. Check out me and my long woooooooooooooooooooords.
Well done. I love the synth work.
interesting,, not sure exactly what i think about it, but it's always neat to hear your musical thoughts
I like your spare take on this!
wild tones...duel survival.

I love The Lamb - this is great!
love the slide!
great campfire tune!
what is that opening lead instrument? it is so strong! I love your vocals.
it is such a sad sounding piece.
nice easy listening piece - very rich!
who cannot love a track with a name like this? Awesome mind-messing tremolo.
damn you sound like Joe Cocker now! This is great all the way around. - Been behind - I had not heard the original - or I don't remember it
I use pianoteq mostly. Your piece is very beautiful.
indeed - you brought this baby to life!! Bravo Reg!
you two are Mr Funk!!
excellent work!
thank you for "playing" me :-)
This rocks!!
nicely minimal!
nice I like the sound sin the panning sweeps a lot.
peaceful - wonderfully chilled - I enjoyed it very much!!
I love this!!! Excellent!
great!!
is this slide bass then? or bass and slide guitar? sounds cool regardless.
