I travel the synthesizer (two 5 minute tracks) and cymbal rooms at Guitar Center with my Zoom H2. Since I play in the same key more or less it works more or less. Thank you John Cage.
This is a Gibson Epiphone Roadie 1/2 scale guitar I picked up used at Guitar Center for $30. It was on the block because no one set it up. The intonation was horrific. And to top it off the bridge is ever so slightly too close to the nut. But…

Often I am asked about the difference between "normal" 12 equal tuning and microtonal tuning.
Thanks to a retuning by Gene Ward Smith to meantone tuning (I don't know which) you can compare this famous piece of music in the familiar 12 equal…
A manipulated ambient-ish piece
Sound sources, 5 string bass, 18" and 14" china cymbal, cornet, mixed tuning, 6 edo, 12 edo, unconstrained pitch.
kudos for anyone who listens to the whole thing.
I generally take my Zoom H2 portable digital recorder with me on my trips to music stores to record myself playing equipment I can’t afford to buy. This is one of today’s recordings. June 24th 2011
Calling
There ain't no future without a past
all of the promises that just won't last
I don't believe anymore
Just don't believe anymore
One became two in the sin of despair
beyond the moment where there was a care
I can't breath anymore
Just…
Quiet
Quiet thoughts for quiet fights
Tumbled dry and folded rights
Wrapped up in a candied floss
Shrink-wrap now removed and lost
Curled, crunched into a ball
Out the window, into a wall
Bounce and twist and turn and spin
The truth is beaten…

This is a traditional piece that dates back to at least the 16th century. Since the version I have is instrumental I used what is called Pythagorean Tuning and period instruments to render it. (alto recorder, bells (crotales), fiddle, and bodhran…

Berceuse (means cradle song - or lullaby) by Chopin Op. 57 midi recorded by Ron Lubetsky, M.D. in 1997. And indeed I can tell from the midi file this was a real performance. I ran it through pianoteq in Sonar X1. I hope you enjoy it.

thanks Chris,, i'll have to look into this one,, Chopin is,,, well who can argue with Chopin,, im not familiar with this but the right hand is getting a great work out, it's a beautiful piece and nicely played thanks for sharing
'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and…
I've enjoyed your work too - though mostly via Sound-In - Alonetone... I've found less and less time for AT as I've been getting more active in the microtonal community. However, Sound-In... I wait for every week :-)
Dawn awaits – SKEEN 121013
The beating, of her heart up next to mine,
So sweetly keeping time
Stirring, from her slumber through the night
Slowly opens….her eyes shine brighter than the mooonlight through the trees
Awake, my darling from…
this is just too good I have to give the machine's all the credits I did little more then guide them thru this landscapes in timeless experiential effects. I will have the big video that was cut up and layered here before effects soon to see…
yes this is part three of the disk i did...
this piece includes a hypnosis session doing a past life regression of me, bill newbold,.
just edits in the sounds.
This is a collab song with MTC. I almost hated adding anything to it cuz the first track he sent me was kickass vintage Jim. It totally changed flavors in the collab process, but still one of my favs
Didnt mean to have a political slant but had just got denied my large order soft drink in Manhattan.
All thats left are the small sodas with the "NY loves big cans" tee shirts
always liked this song. as a guitarist in the early 80's i played this song a lot in a band i was in. i went for a live sound on this so it would have a sort of an amplifier played live. i am the only one to blame for this song, as i did it all…
I think this needs a guitar solo but i'm not capable of doing it so if anyone would like to give it a go i would love to hear what you could come up with its in C. Otherwise i'm quite happy with it...now with a solo by Billy Jack
Please Don…
some mistakes, like playing live, but i make them right quicky. the song is for halloween and make of the lyrics what you will.
the drums have phaze on them. some of the soft guitars have phaze and flange. the beginning 2 1/2 mins are slow…
Chris Vaisvil sent me over some guitar to see what i could come up with…he also sent it to Phantasm777 to see what he could come up with on the drums and i might add has done a striling job with them….Chris then mixed it and sent it to me for…
yikes, hope i don't disgrace the beatles with this one. i tried to stay to the spirit of the song. obviously i didn't have a sitar and i didn't think i should need to re-create every sound effect they did, but i did many! one of my fav psyche…

Love your sonic adventures!
This is pretty sweet - lovely laid back tones.
great how well you let sound that shrunky, grats with the tuning and tune :)
I've never seen a guitar like that. Cool!
Lovely upload - don't think I've ever really listened to this piece before. Interesting changes!
*hides*
Nice one mate really dig this.
Nicely done mate.
I like this mate really cool.
ahh so your one of those guys i hear when i visit the store ahha,,, this is cool,, how many pedals on this? the lower register sounds especially good
candy store stuff.seems off tune but sure u were rock.n.

Epic! Perfect, I hate doctors as a rule :)
Nice one mate excellent.
Mistakes or not this is pretty cool Chris.

Hauntingly plaintive. Nice!
Beautiful Chopin!

This is really nice. I love the vocal harmonies and the slide too.
This is a beautiful medley!

This is fantastic!
Enjoyed that - good song writing and production to my ears
thanks Reg!!
this is... like being inside of a factory at night when the machines wake up and devise artifacts of their alien will.
I found this really interesting.
This series has a good flavor so far. More subtle than usual. The first piece reminded me of the magnetic field of Jupiter as picked up by Voyager.
cool!
love what you guys did here.
wow the a capella is just stunning!
Love the vocal harmonies!! Great tune to pick and nice excution
Nice - sounds very romantic period - quite dramatic and powerful.
Well, I like this one 'cause I can relate to the lyrics.
great vocals, great solo, great story!
incredible musical and story telling vision in this!
Thanks everyone!
lol! this is crazy great!~
Ah wow!
