11 notes per octave (11 edo) has been a tuning that has generated a lot of music later. Not wanting to be left out I decided to take some time to compose a piece in 11 edo using Garritan Personal Orchestra. As a subject matter suitable for…
Great subject matter you have captured the suspense and Mystery and horror....similar in feel not content of the music Jaws the way in which it feels like he is encircling his prey....an excellent feel to this piece.. love it
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.
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…

excellent..... love the Conrads poem and the performance of it....a real mystery going on with the sounds in the second half.. Conrads voice reminds of someone of the Lou Reed album the Raven

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…

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…
This is the first tune I wrote using an actual loop pedal. I really like the rawness of its form. The sound is sharp, it kind of attacks your ear.. but then after it loops around a few times, it calms down and sinks in..
I expect that there will…
Its my first attempt at writing a piece for piano. I think this would probably best be played by two players..
if I ever write out the piece on paper, it might have to be so.
I would value any of your comments greatly, as I greatly want to improve…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…

Hypnotic! Wow!! Captured some real power here!
Love this riff - not sure which I prefer, I think the other has the edge...but love the extra improvised bits here.
Totally original - great effect with the mandolin!
Woah, did I? Go me! This is magical - tranquil and mystical with a sting in the tail.
Back for another visit loving this

7/8 = awesome pick for this song.
Excellent! Percussion is top notch!
Is that you or a vocal-sample?...wow this cool stuff....kick percussion with both hi-hats fit right in...this is intense!
Nuthin' unsteady about those hands. Great work! And what WAS that stuck to the eave?
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
really really cool. particularly when you start exploring the odd (non tempered?) intervals
Quite the trip! Wonderful groove!
Love the music, flavours of Istanbul. Cool perc. there Norm!
Nice tone there, sounding good to me Chris and I hope you are feeling better.
A fine Asian feel great percussion. Liked it a lot ......

Excellent - what pedal are you using?

reminds me of KD Lang for some reason - I hope that isn't bad.
