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.

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

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.

Beautiful!!Great work here!

my dad at one time helped with a radio show - if I remember correctly Tilden High School in Chicago had a radio transmitter. This would have come from there. My son traced this back to about 1923. My father tended to bring things home from where he worked, etc. He even brought home, as far as I could tell, the entire Data General railroad traffic controlling computer - vintage early 70's - the programs were loaded via punched paper tapes - when it got replaced. And no, it wasn't used on this piece. Ben has it. But at 1000 Hz he should be able to get it work if he feeds it the right kind of electricity.

I love the floating feel this has.

also - you have an astounding memory!

Ha - this riff is mine? I sure don't remember it - now I feel embarrassed about my comment :-)

excellent! I love the opening guitar riff and cool ending!

Nailed Tom's voice!

Very Tom Waits - love it!

wow your voice sounds so like the Kinks!

love your voice here!

May I invite you to participate at ImprovFriday? You may have some fun! http://improvfriday.com/

I found my answer "These pieces are recorded live in my home studio. They are made with an electric guitar played through a laptop and a dedicated hardware looper."

What do you have in your ambient rig? I am enjoying your work!

Hi Bethan - I have no idea who played it - but they did an excellent job. The midi file I found somewhere in the 90's.

wow - another side totally! I like the string / piano combination.

Thank you for the comments on Sympathy for a Friend. I didn't use a synthesizer. All of the sound is from one take on my 19 note per octave guitar + effects.

I love that metallic sound!

The cello work is especially good.

nicely done!!

excellent - this is a great song perfectly played and sung!!
