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…
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…

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…

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.

This starts at essentially the same improvisation pattern and then travels elsewhere - I think I like the Martin version better myself. This one is in stereo.
ok this one playes for me,,,haven't heard the martin one yet,, but this is very nice,,, i know how multi talented you are,, but there's just something about hearing you playing on a solo guitar,, that just stands out so profoundly... this is great,,,,well well played
this is a minor excerpt from a tape I made I am guessing that I had not uploaded this here yet but I could of at the other eee account that is now outdated. the longer full and remixed version will be uploaded soon.
Here's a "live" thing, if it can be called that, if one performs in a public place and there's no audience, can you call it "live"...?

This is a collab tune which was originally written by Tad Rees (aka Solo). He plays the Keyboard.synth, and I did the guitar and drums. The last half blends with his original which can be heard in completion at :

Combined two separate segments from the performance for this remix. I'm posting live recordings on Soundcloud now. To hear the rest of the set go here and bookmark:

As Dave rightly guessed, Elvis is not dead. He is alive and well living in our cellar in Sheffield. He kindly agrees to do a bit for us now and again, as he is getting on a bit now and gets out of breath easily. So here he is possibly for the…
long ago when there was a "guitar electric" in my presence I recorded this and edited it in cubase, back when I used cubase, old and somehow interesting?
She's left, your drunk and on the floor not able to see a future, your friend is trying to help, your not listening, he obviously doesn't understand you need the drink..........
This is a song i always wanted to have a go at and it wasn't until Johnny let me have a go on his representation of it i got my chance. Thanks Johnny for letting me have a go, may you rest in peace............

consider this a microcosm of the final work that might just happen ,, yes a complete Klingon Orchestrated Opera :) (feeling shameful that it was Chris's idea first.) (this is a mire raw example of an outproduced work.>
well - actually - there *was* a Klingon opera which is where I got the title. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%80%99u%E2%80%99
and this Klingon band is interesting...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stovokor_%28band%29
this is a mono/nonstereo track because my fourtrack recorded decided that mono is better then stereo but at least the dang thing works ,, I guess,, From now on it is direct records from the outside machine to the computer not thru the fourtrack…
if you use something as a midi controller there are a few VSTi software microtonal synthesizers that are free which makes it easier. Savihost - and other VSTi hosting software let you play microtonally - all you have to keep track of is how the extra (or less) notes translate to the normal keyboard.
This piece is crazy! How'd you do the drums?
As for mono/stereo - what you need is either a Y-cable with 1/4 male to 1/8 stereo (or collection of pieces that do that)
If you are still using Sonar I guess its lets of an issue - just record multiple tracks.

A fine Asian feel great percussion. Liked it a lot ......

Cool playing - comforting song choice. RIP Johnny Stone. x
funny post. I like the interuption.
Sounds pretty sweet! gotta love guitar center.....
Loving this sound wow!! and the video got me too. Hope your feeling better. What did you edit the video in?
This video/improv event you mention. Where is this event located? This song isn't playing. The video is working. 100% great!
Nice improve, microtonal you say>?
Totally inspired! Zither adds real zing!
Kinda unnerving!
Very affecting. Powerful stuff, Mr V.
Very cool, I love this. Excellent playing.
Agree with John excellent
No need Chris, I found the scale on your website. John.
Wow, this is great. Chris, could you please email me the scale and the name of the scale. I want to know more. John.
so nice, I am thinking cutting the segments even closer - together and then stretching it to about and hour plus :) ?
oh I really like this so so much :)
I like the guy trying to sell you the guitar in the mist of a record :) excellent RL effect.

interesting - though why just in the right channel more or less?
great composition!
your voice is just awesome on this!!
a wonderful story!
yes... its live and excellent!
nice work from the two of you.
Do you like your Boss looper pedal? There are quite a few models out there - and mostly expensive - hearing your work makes me lust for one though :-)
very groovy 60's cool sound
a very cool $5 program!!
ha!! great!!
enjoyed!
that is one effected guitar!!
nice!! Would you consider doing a collaboration?
you do a good Morrison!
very strange!
very cool. What gear do you use?

this is an oddly compelling piece - its like an electroband kidnapped Weird Al to jam on accordion. The production clarity is excellent too.
I love the sound of this - beautiful!! What do the pedals do in a pedal steel guitar?
