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…
Beautifully dark and mysterious that then explodes into barely contained chaos that ends in a plaintive song of longing. That's how I hear this. Wonderful piece Ben!

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.
