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?

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…
Norm set me these drums for Dancing on my own a while back but Reg went and dumped the file so we couldn't use them. So i'm using them now, while Reg gets Gone.........Thanks Norm
Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
Reg has this recurring dream of his fantasy women but she is always out of reach...........Thanks to Tess for letting me play with her tune.

ohhh I didn't see you had uploaded this! To answer your question - it was a Yamaha - can't remember the model - it had 3 pedals - I agree about the low end but the high end was really weak in my opinion.
Added a little more to this nice little change of strumming patterns played as an excuse to write a little love song.

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
Lyrics:

I hate you when you breathe. Could you stop?
Waking up is hard to do when sleep never comes
But your ugly faces woke me up...
Callous sycophants
I know you too well to rest again
I'll stay up forever. I'll be ready

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.

this is quite good. could I write music for it?
this is a great combination!!
interesting piece!
rockin' Reg and Norm - nice collaboration. Good combination if instruments.
loving the harp. this was a good choice!
I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
Nice work - a good combination.
wow! this harp work sounds great!!! Unfortunately the guitar pictured isn't the one in the recording (we'll get to that tomorrow)
You made it into a classical piece - I love that. Great work Richard!
ohhh I didn't see you had uploaded this! To answer your question - it was a Yamaha - can't remember the model - it had 3 pedals - I agree about the low end but the high end was really weak in my opinion.
the scope of this is totally impressive
one of my favorite songs - done really well!
Beautiful Richard!!
this is an excellent song!
finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
This is cool! You made the google guitar sound like its going through a *huge* stack.
wow. very powerful words and music.
this is excellent - and unique!
lovely Richard! Sounds light music for a candle light dinner.
thank you for the listen and comment on my seagull improv.
