Line up:
2 tracks (right and left) of hammer dulcimer, fretless bass, and cameo appearances for both fretless guitar and electric psaltery.
I went out during cover of night (to avoid looking like a total crackpot) with a violin bow & Zoom H2 digital recorder and bowed various things in the neighborhood. This is the best - a beautifully resonant 4-way stop sign.
This is an improvisation (with a bit of editing where my timing got off by a lot) for this week’s ImprovFriday event
I used my M-Audio 88es to drive:
Korg MS2000
ARP 2600 V soft synth
Absynth 5 soft synth
Session 3 drummer soft synth

It's all getting a bit exciting here now... 13 minutes! Seriously had to turn down volume.
Feeling like I am disorientated and out of control. Very clever, epic piece Chris.
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)
last eve there was a beautiful moon
dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…
Hey Richard - for Rumba - the guitar tunings are standard so if you want to play along on your piano it should work. If I remember correctly Brian laid down a basic I-IV-V in D major. I put 7th chords on top of that.
Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul.
Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez.
Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along.
Enjoy.....

I had some lyrics describing a late nite cake baking experience kicking around. If I have a lot on my mind, dirtying every dish in the house seems like the right thing to do.
I stole some cool percussion from Norm and went to work. I also…

They recon if you go down any mine in the world you'll find a Cornishman there working.
Colin did the vocals and twelve string
Matthew did Balron, whistle, backing vocals ect.
I did the acoustic and backing vocals.

This is a 3/16 Bembe on tuned congas, played with mallets. I've arranged it (at the very kind suggestion of Vaisvil & ReefWalker) in a verse/chorus/bridge/capo fashion to get away from a straight pattern - I think this sort of arrangement…
While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
what a fun listen
Great percussion!
Cool beats and awesome phantom flavours..! Dark...midnight shipwreck dark! Now I want to go wrecking.
is this what they call post-psych-rock? Whatever it is it's great!
Nice one mate and very interesting.
So how does the harmonic series filter work? Does it just allow one to hear the lowest A, E and next to the lowest B? Wild stuff!
Nice transitions and enjoyed reading about your methods.
Some lovely melodic strands in here - love the sound of the dulcimer.
!!! Incredible!
Oh yeh love a fretless bass Very cool. And thanks for your recent comment.
Wow nice ride...the bass, guitar and Sonar percussion all blended in right.
Cool electronica! 0.57721566490153286060651209008240243104215933...

agree with SS. the bass line is bas ass/
Totally awesome, Chris. Love the mysterious flavours and that raunching bassline!
Rich, dark and mysterious. *Resists obvious joke about dream man*
Chuckie! Nice work. Ominous.
Innovative or what!!

Hi there! Yep - it is all GR-20 and guitar. I have done work with driving soft synths and my Korg MS-2000 on other pieces.
