Part-1 (first 11 minutes) was calming and elusive..the second part all the way to the 22nd minute was harpooning my thoughts, just brilliant Chris! More like this...please.

This is in some boring typical genre. I just can't figure out which one. Perhaps Wiccan dances for epileptics? Not sure.
In Cold Hell, in Thicket is a microtonal musical setting of Charles Olsen reading his poem in 1950 as provided by PennSound…
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

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…

I KNOW HOW LOVE CAN FEEL(Lyrics)
I know how love can feel
I know that love can heal
i know i kneel before you
i know it can burn you, destroy you
i know how love can…
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.
Sort of a Tuesday improv...
Built up around a synth texture that I built up with:
Operator->FilterStation->Volcano->Kombinat->Panstation->RP-Delay
(what's the fun in having plugins if you can't abuse them)
Heres a collab with Wildgeas Music a beautiful bit of music hope i did it justice with the vocal............
Tomorrow (Lyrics)
I know the curse of the darkness is coming
those dark nights that will feed upon my soul
with no forward glance of tomorrow…
So after hearing some of Stephen Krell's outstanding picking, I asked him if he'd like to play along with any of my songs... I can't be happier with the one he picked to add his banjo to (seeing as how the song is written about my favorite Pete…
Different recording here as the electric guitar, bass guitar were not plugged in, just recorded raw with a power mic and then EQ'ed to make it sound amped - pardon mistakes!
Nice song - I did finally get around to listening to it :-) So this is literally unplugged hard bodied normally electric instruments - I've never heard of this being done before - awesome idea!!
So after listening to some of Chris Vaisvil's music for mapped midi and such I caught the bug of inspiration and did similar but in my own way. should of included extra things but there was the on the fly idea going.

baby! This is great!! I suggest running the mp3 through Paul's Extreme Stretch too if youu haven't taken a listen. What this reminds me of is some of the odd ends and bits on Beatles albums I always wished was longer. In places it sounds backwards, other places an orchestra tuning up, other places a spaceship. Wow. man I'm floored - you really have a lot, I do mean a lot in two and a half minutes!! Check out Dan Stearns - http://homemademusic.com/daniel_stearns/info_237.php I think you'll like what he is doing.

A song of hope...
and i apologize for the "noise"...I'll try to figure it out.
here are the lyrics.
waiting in the dark
never hearing the words
waiting for the spark
to revive a dying heart
so you think it's your fault
a buried belief…
Reg has never really understood Love.......... not in last 20years since first hearing this song .........it's still all a Mystery to him................

That is most touching, yes, most touching. With fading eyesight she looks out on a world through a net curtain, not noticing! The music was perfect.
The panning enriches the intro wonderfully. Very cool sounds.

Another way to enjoy this is open a second window in your browser and start Norm's Ilesa at the same time.
loving the broken timing that is synced again in the end. very very tense in the intensity of it.
Very well done!!!!!!!
Cosmic
Whose house were the other 20 seconds at? Intriguing sounds!
Stirring and mystical! My kinda morning!
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

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!

I was going to listen to your song but then I figured I could to that tomorrow.
the individual samples for propane are stretched (and filtered) but not the composition.
luscious - beautiful I had not heard you until this morning and I'm glad I found your music and spirit.
nice spooky keys at 1:45 ish - very 60's psychedelic feel
well done!
I really this version!!
love it!
I hear a lot of melodies in this one. All of the drums seem to speak to me. Even the clave. Perhaps I'm finally getting it?
This is were its at!! Groovy!!
