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 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…
Reg took a collaboration from Chris Vaisvil, Norm and threw it into the cellar last night and this is what was returned through Regs door this morning...... a tale from the old wild west.........................
Poor old Reg he cant figure it out!! ........ since he's been listening to his self help tapes to stop drinking he has never got any money and he just doesn't understand it, he keeps working coming home relaxing to the tape........... then when…
This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
With all the highs in Regs life, it had to equal out and Reg has dropped like a stone ........he's broken.........he's had a breakdown.....Well let's face it. It had to happen he was just pushing himself too much. Hopefully he can carry on the…

my goodness - you've been pouring out music and stories - I can't keep up - I surrender the title of the most prolific composer ever to Reg :-)
Man - how did you get the Louis Armstrong voice - oh wow.....
And the rock opera people are right - think Rocky Horror Picture Show - if you could get together a script and a vision and sell it you could be set for life. There is no question about you having the talent to pull it off.

Funny, when I was going through divorce I ended up in a support group - and there was a late 50-ish ex-cop who showed up one day who complained about this young woman who talked him out of entire retirement savings for drugs. (You'd think he'd know better....) Trying to remember her name.... did it start with a D??? I was glad when he left - he apparently got tired of us when he found out we could barely make rent for the room in the church we met at Friday night....
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
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!
"Holy haunted aquariums Batman ..... he seems as dead as kipper" .........."Yes you could say he's been smoked"........... will yellow fish get his lady.......will the Red shark find someone to eat...will stripey find what he's looking for......... all these questions will be answered next week..... at the same time.. tune in... turn on.... drop out....
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!, 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
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.
Comments made by vaisvil
Thanks for doing this!!
hehe! excellent!
sounds like early Who - excellent!!
or the seventh son of a seventh son! My bass is looking at me :-)
I'm hating it too. Its just an infection I think. Nothing personal ;-)
great track - and yet another side to your voice.
this is a great idea well executed!
very beautiful!
powerful!
thanks for all of the listens and comments Richard. This is beautiful - love the choral writing.
nice!
wow - you woke the dead with this! Excellent tone!
wow - excellent!
and - poor Japan.
nicely done
I like the toucans - is this the microkorg? nice space - I feel like a tropical excursion.
