@Andrew Russe: very perceptive. Yeah I had to listen twice to appreciate the thoughtful layering of guitars, which I actually didn’t use in my remix because the mix would’ve been too crowded. This has been an almost constant earworm this week but I don’t mind!
Yep... didn't comment, did I? "Cool sounds" :) But now I've heard the lap-steel addition on Kavin's remix, I appreciate this one more than I did at first... very cool sounds. Raises an interesting thought for me... how we can see/hear through others eyes/ears, we can have ours "opened" by someone else's re-expression of a thing... when I first listened to this, it was "OK" for me, I saw Newbold's comment and thought "yeh, well" ... but hearing Kavin's addition gave me an "in" to this track... listening now I can hear/experience what he and Newbold heard first up.
Tettigoniidae in Overtones is scored for two Audio Damage Quanta synthesizer, tamtam, two triangles, glockenspiel, snare drum, bass drum, two tamborines, plucked psaltery and french horn all in harmonic series tuning. The synthesizers are purposely…
so impressive wow --- just like mmmm tasty texture touches. and tinglings --- just had to favorite this --- I think maybe to use this in a mix-- maybe but it might be too 'expressive' to work like that-

Second movment,, perhaps a little rough,, comments welcome,,, 6/11 Third mov is now done,,, and very very different from the first two,, scares me a little
did a remix of latest B-52s (ex B-52's) song "Funplex". i admit i didn't really take the time to polish this, so it might have some flaws here and there, but it was fun to do and after all, is this not what matters most? :)
and you can…
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…

Well, I make no claim to the authenticity of Ethno 2 samples - though assuming they are top notch is probably a safe bet. I just released a revised version to my private mailing list and here are the instruments:
This piece is a quasi-middle eastern section using the celtic 12, E, and D guitars and the lead Electric Bouzouki plus acoustic bass in Zurna tuning and the percussion includes Timbales, gong, Bendir, Daires, Darbuka, Tamborin, and Sistres.
Backyard Ghost sent me something to work on...i added my own touch and arranged it...i sent it to him and he added another of his touches and rearranged it and You've Had My Tears is the end result...we both love this collaboration...expect more…
Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…

This is one of my first alonetone collaborations written by Louis Smit.
Everyone should go listen to some of his tunes. Louis is a very original
and talented folk style acoustic guitarist- singer - songwriter.
You can hear him here.

This is a special request by Sister.
It's kinda sloppy. Frankly, because I suck at it :)
I'm not much of a cover musician but I gave it hell.
It's mostly analog. MIDI drums, DB33 organ patch,
strat leads, and Ibanez chords, Dean bass…
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
i like the bass in here and the FX are prefect for the mood. the ending drone reminds me of the Beatles "I want you" vibe which i love.
Strange, quirky, fun.
Inspired and invigorating!

mostly pretty blending of nice sounds. :) so great I can hear this in a loop just on and on--
Love this...very textural and haunting....👍
Cool sounds.

great it is true mostly the repeating --- why is the barrel empty ? or most empty?
yeah it is good these notes work together nicely --
nice stuff
And this gives me some release - but not loads! I was going to ask if it's an ebow, but it's not is it? Sounds like a real bow?
I find this one a slightly more challenging listen!
This one follows Hopey Changey really well
I listened to these the other day while I was doing something else... I forgot to come back and comment. This is a gorgeous sound.
love the groove, add some lyrics to this Chris!
Neat guitar sound.

this is beautiful and moving. I wish I could play piano this well. Awesome work Richard!
Rockin!!
nice piece - good progression - does sound western
this is so expressive, especially once the piano comes in.
if you wish for me to take down my re-mix of your piece let me know.
excellent!! I really like this collab! The voice perhaps could be a touch louder other than that this is excellent!
wow. You have captured what St. Casimir cemetery sounds like at 4 am on a spooky fall night...
Man alive!! this is astounding!! what a trip!
As for the song icon for Don't Look Down - a friend made it for me and I am not sure what he used. Subway is a good bet.

this is wonderfully sad and mysterious!
beyond just excellent! This is a trip through space to another place, time, and existence! I can't say enough!
Excellent!!
Excellent sounds and I keep wanting to hear more of her :-) I especially like the percussion.
Beautiful!! In composition and execution.
Nice tune - so this is a cover?
Nice tune - like the production
nice an heavy!
entrancing! Not at all what I expected with "march" in the name - much more subtle and smooth - I enjoyed this one very much!
Awesome!!! This is so perfect!
