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.

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…

I thought a microtonal piece almost completely in absynth would be a decent goal. So, I improvised bass, lead, chords, effects in 19 notes per octave against a sequence of drum loops run through effects. Then - just to see the difference I took…
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…

By "computerized version" do you mean a MIDI or is this live guitar? man its hard to tell, the mic up on the neck seems just right.

Just a little cover tune I did in preparation for last year's live RPM Challenge album "Letters."
Nylon string Yamaha travel guitar, vocals, and one mic... Missed notes and all.
we all have cover a Pink Floyd song at some point, and the only way to cover a perfect song is to make it completely different. Deep down, I think everyone was hoping the wall was not too high, and the song could end on a happy note of breaking…
This is one of my more agressive industrial-ish tunes. There's also an orchestral version done by vaisvil; it should be somewhere in his gigantic list of tracks...I'll see if I can find it and post a link.

lots of different things I tried in this one, mostly in structure and vox, as well as harmony and texture. I guess it is a progressive type song with some gloom.
the intro is a short bass thing with effects called nectar, its like 25 sec.s…

Such an awesome piece of music, the sci-fi waves compliment the tonal guitars that you add trough out the piece. Bravo Chris!

great vocals and lyrics - wonderful guitar work! and the harp too!
beautiful Keith, just beautiful. I love Indigo Girls and this is so on the money.
just give your phone a bath - that will do it!
on a roll!
this is a cool take on this. its like pink flyod version from the period they were doing movie sounds tracks.
I do say it seems you've added a great deal more Tension since the last revision I heard.
Always loved this song! Here is the CSO version http://alonetone.com/vaisvil/tracks/tension-acoustic-orchestral
I love what you did with it!
cool - very convincing orchestration and production!
wow - this is excellent! your production skills are getting really good!
Are you related to Robert Fripp? It sure sounds like it. Man this is lovely. I could heart this 3 or 4 more times.
What JamesRainmondi said - masterwork here - stunning!
this a quite good - enjoyed
Nice work, and realistic I'd say.
excellent.... needed to be said
beautiful, I'm sorry I missed it when first posted.
