In 2009 I ran an internet contest where contestants had to use one or more of the samples provided in their piece. Here I put together a number of the samples I provided into one piece.
Year: 2010

I used about half of the tones produced in my stop sign video as samples looped in Kontakt and improvised on an 88 key controller in 17 equal notes per octave. Not something you'd listen to for enjoyment.

A cover of George Harrison's All Things Must Past created to mark TiS' imminent passing. Yes my voice sucks - if you want to take a shot at singing it contact me. now Norm joins in - any more takers?

Something I found on tape - the best of the 6 pieces.
Me preforming a Villa Lobos piece about 1977 - a recording made while preparing for a recital…
I like IT!!!,, very nicely played, also you continue to amaze me with your production intensity, ah i hear Pyewacket,,, mine Dachshund Howie,, has a particular habit of howling whenever i play Bach,,, it's sort of funny (to me at least) i have thought of making a video of he and i in duet,,, anyhow well played friend
Since you’ve gone
It’s all gone south
The dunces took over
Stupidity rules
They open their mouth
To prove they’re fools
You didn’t believe in god
And made me wonder how
If there was one
How could he allow
What evil has been done…
Field recording modified by using the entire recording as a template for noise reduction. The remaining sound was surprisingly melodic, and includes birdsong (mourning dove and sparrows most prominent), passing light aircraft, emergency siren…
The coffee table gang helped me round out this one that I shared earlier. I love this version with Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor's wonderful talents on the backup vocals and guitars. I like how my ukulele blended in on this version.
Sometimes…
I got nothing.
Insert some random post-apocalyptic sci-fi narrative here, involving Speak And Spells achieving sentience and taking over the world, only to be thwarted by the Amish.
Alternatively, "Based On A True Story" something something.
Bringing back a song from 2011 with a new twist. The song now has drums, bass, and an orchestral backend. This is hopefully part of a larger collection of me reworking older songs with orchestration.
Many thanks to Brian of A Beautiful Scene…
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
I remember that!
Excellent.....love the feel of it....agree with Kavin a great 60's psych feel
Lovely!
Very revealing!
nice!
fun bubbly lite piece,, i enjoyed listening
One of the nicest guitar sounds I've heard in a while. Nicely put together
At the risk of dating myself, this reminds me of the Small Faces..which is good. It has that 60's psych pop feel.
Good mix. The whole track comes together very well.
Nice one. Sure was a sad day.
I'm with 2monktup1!
interesting and cool as always
I think your vocal is perfectly good - lovely interpretation of a fine song!
Dreamy...sweet...heartbreakingly beautiful. (Perfect image.)
Nicely done!
Good one Chris. Creditable vox too!
pretty creepy. But cool.
Nice one mate
....but enjoy I did !

Yes indeed! Wonderful piece!
Just awesome!
A lovely aural dream!
astounding work! - love the coda especially
ahh then the actual sysnth pad ! - excellent!
nicely done! I like how the reverse guitar becomes a pad - it has shades if Magical Mystery Tour to my ears.
excellent! noise reduction is an excellent technique!
This works well! Great dexterity on the 12 string!
Beautiful Ben!
yes!
Quite like the solo here No doubt the Orange one will litigate until a cheese burger claims him.
Best take on the proceedings I've heard
excellent!
wild ride!
beautiful!
I bet this isn't in 12 equal :-) !!! Nice sound and creative idea!
Texas Instruments wants world domination....
nicely done!
Whoa!
Very unusual piece, and especially for your typical very thick wall of sound collages. Very good, I enjoyed the piece!
