This is in some boring typical genre. I just can't figure out which one. Perhaps Wiccan dances for epileptics? Not sure.

This is a guitar piece in classical style in 17 notes per octave using the 17 version of the phyrgian mode. In normal 12 equal tuning phyrgian mode starts on…
Lovely!
So your guitar has 17 frets to the octave or you retune so the octave is at the 17th fret instead of the 12th? does it tune up in a similar way? which fret gives you the note for the next string?

Good stuff Chris as far as the introduction goes i have to agree with Alex i understood "This is a guitar piece" but that's all.The video it's great it puts a face to you although a very serious concentrated one. Good one

This is a motet I wrote for theory class slowed down by a factor of 12 and sung by 4 different choirs. A contribution to the ImprovFriday drone fest. And I made a video too.
This is a video piece made for the ImprovFriday drone theme event which used my DIY 9 string canon, DIY electrified 8 string psaltery, viola bow, ebow, and fingers. The tuning in unknown – just something I did by ear.
Pictures, streamable video…

This is simple test of East-West symphonic choirs solo soprano voice and East-West Hollywood strings contra-bass. I feel its a bit reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - of course, your mileage may vary - it is a very simple and direct arrangement…
yes, I found a midi file and applied my samples and a bit of editing and re-tuning to it. It must of taken forever to put this into a computer. http://www.classicalarchives.com/midi.html
Pretty whores and fat queers
make bicycle parts in a factory
not far from here, and it
doesn't make a difference
if its weird or if its strange
just superficial words
from a long gone age
and I couldn't hold a candle to them
and I wouldn't…
most any comments I get are on facebook these days and occasionally my blog.
This video is really raw and weird!! I like it!
Is the audio post a stretch of the video post?
This rough track uses my Blue Just Tuning system (go to www.johnsmusic7.com for details and a photo of the guitar). This is the same tuning Chris Vaisvil used in his Excluded By Peers piece. I hope to add some lead to the track soon.
Not sure where I was going with this, but it ended up quite dreary for what I thought were quite motivating lyrics.
Watch this space, it may well appear again with more upbeat music.

Now you are my lady and i’ll never understand why you had to runaround with that other man
you know you’d send me crazy you know that i’m not sound when you leave me…
Here's a cover of a zep classic...from Reg and Speed Demon Gene....Gene has done all the music and the mixing..thanks Gene ....and i'm responsible for the warbling..... hope you enjoy
Please - this is not the concept I asked her contribution for. I didn't feel right putting her voice up without a credit. But.... this doesn't do justice - I got things I need to do but I will have a better setting.
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
Very cool.
this one's right up my street Chris. Nice.
What have i to say?........i listened and let the words words wash over me and enjoyed the experience...thank you
I enjoyed the imagery on the video a real pandora box of images....... a nightmare vision within the music an excellent ride.....sounds like you had a big stick to conduct the prisoners
A little avante garde for me but I can appreciate the work that went into it.

Am totally inspired to make more videos to accompany tracks. This is really effective!
Mesmerising! Great video!
Agree with Wrink, Norm and Kavin, all of whom said far more intelligent things than I have ever said in my commenting life.
Enchanted!
esp like the drums on this! -Kavin./Breaking Light/Coelocanth
Excellent...... Conrad's voice reminds me for some reason of Steve Buscemi
Totally dig this track! Also the story behind the music is great.... love stuff like this!
Some really intense moments in here, lovely playing!
beautifully played.........dramatic
Very pretty - love the vocal tone!
Quirky and cool. Love your playing - totally jealous.
this is nice,,,, i like both the playing and the thinking behind this
I listened a few times. I like the different feeling of each phrase. Drama, suspense, anticipation. Great piece of work.

and your grapics are stunning!
delicious!
nicely done! Love the vocal harmonies!
Thanks for listening. It is a 12 tet steel string acoustic guitar harmonically filtered with D 36.8 Hz as the root. So I'd say its harmonic series.
oh vocal harmonies to die for....
excellent!!

Lovely idea! Excellent vocals!
