very nice,,, im going to have to come back and watch the video,, in a way it reminds me of the softer side of Michael Hedges, have you ever heard of him? if not i think you would really enjoy looking him up,,,, this is very beautiful!! perhaps we could figure out some sort of piano and guitar colab... though im not sure how that might work with the tunings you use,, but perhaps i can re-tune my yamaha i use for recording,,, or we take care Richard,, and once again well done!!
This is an experiment where I slowed down Norm Harris’ percussion track “7th Son†http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son and slowed it down by a factor of five and ran it through effects and such – and then played along with my 17…
I played 12 string guitar and 5 string bass along with Norm's original percussion track http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son. The only effects were a bit of attack shaping on the bass (compression w/o compressing).
I did this kind of oddly…

This is the first time I picked up and tried to play a guitar that is in 88 cent equal temperament - the tuning does not contain an octave. Since this was the first time I made some mistakes. Nonetheless I think it sounds interesting.

There have been some discussions on the microtonal list about an isomorphic keyboard I have, the AXiS 49 (pictured above as I played it) and it reminded me I had not played it in a while. So I improvised 3 pieces on it in “selfless mode…

Almost sounds like a bit of Paulstretch going on there in parts.

I love the beats...wow! Kinda spooky this one! Very inventive!!
Picking up some medieval flavours towards the end - very nice!
Love the reverse touches - reminds me of something I was working on, but this is way better.
Lovely outdoorsy feel. Norm's beats cut through beautifully, while the 12 string holds my attention.
Great expression here! (Also, your "about" pics are fabulous!)
very nice sonic imagery.
Wish it lasted an hour...compelling and wonderful! Great!!
Such an awesome piece of music, the sci-fi waves compliment the tonal guitars that you add trough out the piece. Bravo Chris!
Very interesting sound... I should learn something about this, i didn't have any idea about it.
Amazing.......!
Spell-binding piece! Congrats on being selected!
Very sci fi!
Wow!That is Stellar playing!!
very well done Chris,, congratulations
Excellent!
I love this. The harmonics sound wonderful. Is this in an alternate tuning system?
Comments made by vaisvil

I love this as well!
nice use of temsion and release - as Jim said - a movie score.
If this had more drive it would break the interwebs! Nice work!
Brilliant!
well done!
wow this is truly at the edge of the edge!
Excellent!
I can relate. Its a bummer when the stuff in the box starts to move.
This has some nice shades of Devo to it - really like that!
excellent!
Beautiful!
nuclear winter in the basement? careful 'cause the blues has swallowed many a man and you got the mojo coming 'round to take you to the crossroads

cool evolution of space!
Much enjoyed!!

This is beautiful!
