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…
love the sound of the slowed percussion each beat seems to shake...sounds like musical devastation the twisted sounds in the silence after something major just happened...an earthquake or Tornado...with a man in a Pink Tuxedo running around crazed in the wreckage looking for his lost Bride.......
Fisherman and the Siren by Lord Frederic Leighton
This is a blues collaboration between The TwoRegs (vocals / lyrics) and Norm Harris (percussion) and myself (17 note per octave electric guitar and fretless bass).
We hope you enjoy it…

Norm has been teaching a master's class in percussion and gave me (a lot!!) of guidance to try to add bass properly to this. I added 5 string bass, Fender Mustang and GR-20 sax to his excellent Tumbao track. We hope you enjoy it.
My Life has Become
I have all of these memories
That come on back to me
I don't know what to do
I don't know what I should do with them
Out of nowhere they cover me...
Like a breaking beam of light
Like the star dust in the night
Like…
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…

Another oldie as I work on other stuff. State of the art PC sound in 1991 was the Adlib card with one OPL2 FM synthesis chip w/o audio capability. Limiting as that was I still had a lot of fun with it. This is one example - I love that lo-fi…
Doom! Count me in!
(Ha! Had to laugh as the 7 sec. mark of this one has that "squeak" sound that I have previously misinterpreted in other songs as being a squeaky bass drum foot pedal... what do I know about computer generated music?)

Nero's Butterfly Two Star Poem Remix
This is a collaboration with anonymous and my wife. I wrote the script / lyrics and anonymous did everything else. So I can say - I've always admired the excellent performance of both - Debbie did the voice…

I think it is very smart that AT does not have a system of "ranking" or "rating" songs other than "favorite". Such a system, by it's very nature, is just going to hurt somebody's feelings.

Chris,, where to begin? perhaps it's best to just listen? beautifully relaxed playing, your touch here is "simple" and so full,,, (which to my way of thinking is the highest praise i can say, i think you'll understand),, 2nd listen,,,, i often consider the silence between the notes to be as beautiful/important as the notes themselves,, seems like that to me here..... i believe you have created a small master piece here,, well well done ps thanks for you listen and comments on WN,, i always appreciate them Richard
Reg was sat below the cliff having a sneaky smoke and he couldn't believe what he was witnessing ......I recorded the acoustic with the mic then added bass then a bit of piano and string then the tele then I decided what the subject would be and…
A Richard Serra memorial performance by the tribe inside the Serra sculpture Vortex at the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum. A passerby provided some vocals.
Inspiration was seeing Kavin Allenson's pictures from his jam in the Fort Worth sculpture Vortex. I wasn't going to do in Pure Data but I opened PD to setup a base structure of oscillators to use to tune one of my modules. I got a stuck note…
got to listen to this today - it is excellent - I like how you layered and peeled back the layers to close. I a big fan of happy accidents and I'm glad you found this one!
I like the development in this. Nice work - you always pull out the unexpected from the synths you work with regardless of the format. I would not have guessed this to be Animoog!

pain in my heart
it's probably nothing
song in my head
it's time to say something
living this life
it's got to be all
the time
chasing the dream
and i'm always…
This is interesting - there is this hint of Debussy in the chords and melodies (especially in the first half) but they come across in an Ivesian fashion - as though through shattered glass. Thank you for another fantastic piece !
Billy wanted a project for the 2023 Christmas holidays and asked some of his extremely talented musician friends to play on this track.
Matt Smith: Guitars & backing vocals
Paul Matthews: Pianos & organ
Naomi Daulby: Lead & backing…
Punny title to hint at the sound origin; the sounds left on a reel of tape (or in this case, two different ones) after it has undergone a bulk-erase procedure - placing it on a device that creates a strong electromagnetic field that scrambles…
Four different tracks of Roland SE-02 controlled via MIDI by a Casio DH-100. Choosing different voices on the Casio causes settings to change on the Roland, which were then tweaked a little. Submitted to Sound-In "Roleplay Improv" for 1-8/2/2024.

Wow...goin' OUT! Love it...T-rex meets Tom Waits for a beautifully gnarly blues-brawl.
loose...in the moment...in the zone. It takes me to another place...and I'm there.
Beautiful! Love that tuning!
Thanks Chris a wonderful escape into oblivion, your right it is like club med...arrrrrr relax...............
Most enjoyable bluesy collab. Cool vox from Reg.
Enjoyed the jazzy feel given by the sax. Super cool collab.
A really good song.
Nice Jam! One can almost imagine this all happening at one time
Pure and True, Awesome power through your finger tip's..and deeply deep... Makes me feel like I need to find myself somewhere that I've never ben...

Cleverness as usual.
Trolls ate traxinspace?! That's sad. Intriguing piece!
Absolutely beautiful!
Ah, the good 'ol days of TraxInSpace... this was a classic there!
!!! beautious.
wow! that was breath taking deep!
I like your music very much - it's dramatic and compelling!

cool work Kavin! - I like the feedback especially!
This is great!
Nice one!
One of your best compositions. It’s a strangely compelling story with the protagonist worthy of a Darwin Award.
Quite like this! - has such a nice sense of space and clear timbre definition.
I really liked this - the female voice really hit home - nice jam! Is she the passerby?

lofi and exotic - what not to like?
Another great piece!

nice work Kavin!
This is a really nice composition!
sweet ambiance

Definitely true to the original - very excellent work!
You always come up with inventive ways to generate sound and I admire that - this is quite cool as it sounds underwater to me.
another brilliant DH-100 application!
such a foreboding piece - were you thinking about it being an election year here in the states?
Nice pocket between ambient, EDM and experimental electronic!
I enjoyed your performance very much!
