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…

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!

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…

Agree with Wrink, Norm and Kavin, all of whom said far more intelligent things than I have ever said in my commenting life.

Excellent...... Conrad's voice reminds me for some reason of Steve Buscemi

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…

I listened a few times. I like the different feeling of each phrase. Drama, suspense, anticipation. Great piece of work.
