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…

Humility Don't Come to You
Bet you don't know what I do,
what I'm doing, what I'm doing
Bet you don't understand
Yes I realize
that you think you think you are so big
and its hollow the night you stand
Humulity don't come to you
Not at all
Humility don't come to you
Not at all
I bet you can't figure out who you are
All the things you try just don't get you too far
And you try to make what it is
Something that that it really isn't pure
Humility don't come to you
Easy at all
Humility don't come to you
You think you stand so tall
Humility don't come to you
Not Easy at all
Humility don't come to you
I hope that you can catch your fall.

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 the instrumental version of A Cast of Billions. I have a hard time judging my own voice (thus a true singer I am not) and it seems this vocal was rougher than most of mine. So, lets try over again with this mix.

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…
I love that sound!, are mircotonal tunings possible for zithers or would that be a bit too dissonant? :) on a different aside I think these lyrics could develop into a multiple instrument performance

This Prelude in 18ET comes from a challenge on the microtonal tuning list to write something in the whole tone scale that didn’t sound like Debussy or Satie. This prelude has decidedly Debussian whole tone passages. All 3 whole tone scales…
I think I bit off more than I could actually chew this time and I apologize to Norm and Reg about that. This is a setting of verses from Contemporary English Bible Version of Daniel Chapter 6. I don’t think I orchestrated as much drama from…
ok this is the center portion of the the tape transfer and remix so if you like the intro and end so on this just gets more intense that it is centered and focused some.

This is a captured and then edited live performance using the Sonar Matrix view using various samples - some of which were paul stretched.

This was a collab i heard today on Songcrafters and was wondering wether to ask to have a go at it vocally when Tharek sent me message asking me to have a go so Thanks Tharek and Dave, i am more than pleased to give it a go. i loved this music…

Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
I Ate My Xanadu
ADDENDUM TO THE INCIDENT REPORT
It’s burning.

Nothing.
It’s burning and I love it.
It’s so clear

I love the clarity.
I could drink it.
I could eat it.

This is a piece using 2 keyboards, an M-Audio 88es (vocal choir) and Alesis Q49 (brass choir) in 17 notes per octave. The objective was to use some functional xenharmonic chord progressions. I would be interested in knowing if you perceive the…
one could make any brass instrument to play in any temperament by valve placement and tubing length as far as I know. On the other hand 24 note per octave (and finer divisions) are avalable on wodwind and brass with using alternate fingering. On a recent trip to Urbana for a performance Peter's composition called for french horn playing in harmonic series tuning - but I guess the actual use comes close to 72 equal. The video of that is here: (go to about 16:40 .) http://www.youtube.com/user/clones98#p/u/30/OjY4LwBV8sM
Reg has got a kinda Bluesy political thing going on this one.....he's been reading the paper and watching the news..........it's a little too long but i think he makes a point.......do you?
Two ambient guitar tracks recorded independently and stick together. I broke my rule of not using distortion on a BL piece, for the first time, believe it or no.
I'm not on top of it as usual, guys. But I did manage to let Greg Brady out of my basement and set him free. This is his testimonial regarding the incident. I hope he can forgive me.

I love the way your music sounds like an extension of the water sounds.
"Doing ok back here"?..i know that guy...my bad...different location.. The zoom H2 is cool...waiting for one in the mail. Really great!
this is good, i enjoyed.

Post the lyrics!
nice combination of sights and sounds, reminds me i did some music for aquarium once, i should look around and see if i can find it.. nicely done
I was just in the mood for shoals of Gregorian Monkfish and didn't even know it!

is so unusual to hear an instrument like this today,very interesting!And thank you for your comment :-)Lena & Irina
Nice build up. Would make a good intro for a spy/thriller film.
Kirk's comment +1!
Great build - another amazingly bold track. Some great flavours here. Never know what to expect from you!

I love that sound. Very nice track altogether. I have a chord zither, can't play it, Been looking for someone in Cornwall to teach me for 15 years.
wow what a score! it sounds great
Nice sound to the zither- $42 on Ebay is a great deal.
You know, that photo really says it all. Good grief! Nice work here, Chris!
You can't make the noise if you don't have the toys! Nice find... gotta love ebay for instruments!
Seems so short! Very stirring!
i missed this when you put it up. you have done a great job off cutting mixing it.

that genesis piece is beyond my skill to play - but it took a bit of work to get it to be nice with my software.
I am amazed at how you constantly pull new textures from your equipment. Very cool - parts sound like a futuristic police chase.
I see you've taken up body levitation as evidenced by your avatar picture. :-)
your new avatar is freaky!
very cool sound - I like this piece quite a bit!

funky indeed!!
cool reg!
yes I do. Nice piece!
this sounds fantastic!
I know you've seen this somewhere before - but it bares repeating. This is a really nice piece - excellent improvisation!!!
this is so *strange*
I expected Beatles - boy was I surprised!! This is a wonderful bright, bubbly pop song - almost Beach Boys - but really good and modern!
nicely done - I enjoyed listening and especially the climax at 3' as pointed out.
very nice!
like I need to be encouraged!
