Well, I feel almost human today. Been a rough few days with the flu or something. I'm running on a baked potato - seems I can't each much else yet. It was ironic that I became sick just when I went to pick up a Boss Loop Station I found for half…
A good friend and percussionist Norm Harris contributed percussion to this track – A Cast of Billions - so I ripped out all of the midi percussion and used Norm’s percussion, added a track where I speak Evan’s poem and did some remastering…
i hear a music of, long vistas, desolate but beautiful landscapes,, weither it is internal or external, i can not be sure... Chris, this very will done, on many levels R

This is wild! Strangely attractive, inspite of the voltage noises you push through my head. A couple of great guitar licks, around 2:30 and love the rhythm guitar riff around 5:45.
Your percussion work is top notch.
This started up while I was commenting something else... initially I was going to stop it, but something dragged me in... I was over halfway through before I realised I'd stopped typing!
Nice one, well worth a listen... it kept my attention all the way.
(I do hope I actually pressed send on the other comment - I keep forgetting to when this happens!)
The only thing notable about this cover of George Harrison's The Art of Dying is that it is one take (of *many* blown attempts) with the only edit being adding a bit of choir at the end using the midi data from the Roland GR-20. And no I didn…
Just an improvisation for ImprovFriday - recorded on my Zoom H2 in the expensive acoustic guitar room at my local guitar center.
I had to switch to mono because I had the zoom too sensitive and created a series of pops on one channel. This…

I hope you can see the above picture - I scored a 15 chord autoharp zither for $42 on ebay. 4 old guitar strings later (I save them... just in case :-) and a tuning against an organ patch she is working nicely again. Can't wait to show Emily…
In response to a suggestion of Dr. Ozan Yarman I tried a tuning he created for a different project. I realized the composition using Garritan Personal Orchestra Baroque organs, Garritan World sample set Oud and Santoor samples performed on an…
This is a piece written for a small ensemble of Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Flute, French Horn and Percussion in harmonic series tuning using a section from harmonic 12 to 30 reduced to an octave tuning of 15 steps.

unripened avocados are such a disappointment. I saw on the new that drug cartels have added avocados to their 'protection schemes'
Like this bouncy electronica!
A piece that is over and over built with a sequence from a new sequencer that you program the steps of the sequence, the melody by scaling potentiometers, turning knobs till it's like you want!
I downloaded the spitfire discover app its free and a lot of fun try it out here https://www.spitfireaudio.com/bbc-symphony-orchestra-discover and now Reg has become an Apprentice composer/conductor
A very slow piece built by two different synth sequences inspired from trial/error development/build of an electrical synth circuit I began in late 2023 created by Moritz Klein. I have recently after several attempts gotten it to work to the…
something made in thumbjam -0- I had deleted all the saved songs from my thumbjam memory and reinstalled thumbjam 000 it was occupying about 15 gigs of space for the music I had already downloaded 000 this is a fresh start ,.. I may have to reinstall…
I'm working on a new album of electronic pieces with modular synths and Pure Data and possibly some electro-acoustic, electro mechanical. This one will be in the mix.
It was a few strange April days in our little town of Bad Münder. The sky was low and completely filled (with clouds?), and a yellowish light spread as if from below, and from everywhere. Irene had said at the time that it must have been the wind…

excellent jam!
cool ambient harmonica! I like this!

Beautiful and mysterious!
Power!
This sounds like a Bond film!!!
spooky outro!
Impressive that you built the circuit by trail and error - beside the evocative music you've created!
this is cool! I like the mix of classical and electronic here!
this is a wonderful study in contrasts - I am looking forward to your album - the opening theme is quite an ear worm!
WIld! Strange synchronicity emerges!
very excellent work! Thank you for sharing!
Nice narration Brit! The Dobro is a nice accompaniment for the vibe of the book.
