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…

Well, you are not going to often hear a 70′s metal piece from me. I have to plead affection for genre as it is what I grew up with in my garage band days. In this piece I put to use my stratocaster copy strung up with “Not Even Slinky…
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.
I am noticing a patter in the musics like at minute five to minute five and a half I start to slow down and change up the systems.. anyway when i mixed the two things they came out like this.
these are the messages from my machine. I did this before but somehow had to do this again. of course the answering machine messages were edited for content .. :)
I was just reading "The Challenges Facing Women in Music and other Scientific and Engineering Fields" and saw you uploaded a track - and I got to say this is awesome!!! Are the strings microkorg or one of those VSTs? They work really well with the voices - sounds film dramatic! Nice work!
You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…
thought,, id try doing something for valentines day so i chose two Beatles tunes,, amazingly (or not) i found them very difficult for me to personalize, ,,hope all you lovers have a good day and enjoy
Most of you probably haven’t seen Reg dance, so I should explain it to you.
When Reg takes his “classic moves†to the dance floor everyone else steps aside to just watch – well, that is everyone except a few of the most self confident…
Reg was in the library reading back issues of the national papers to keep warm because a cold spell had hit the country hard and he had no money for heating. At least he could sit in the library reading until 5pm when it closed. Some strange stories…

My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…

nope - those are chinese gongs - some just have natural phasing - I don't know how that works but there it is. Also, according to the gong samples I have you can get a large number of different sounds depending how they are struck. Heck, I forgot, Norm has a gong - a pretty big one too - I bet he could make you some custom gong samples if you'd like.

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.
Woah, epic!!! GREAT vocal work and super stirring music!!!!
Excellent!
~Dead.Can.Dance~
What an excellent sound brilliant
powerful stuff
I love the way it begins with the strings and the other instruments are worked in later. A very sombre piece indeed.

Wisconsin minimal opera:) cool piece.
You got some lungs when you want them! Cool and bold, great feel!

My Debbie is very picky and loves this piece! She says "its sounds very pretty!"

this one is less defined some how
ooo 0:16 - like the electric guitar feedback sound! you are getting a lot of great textures!
