Based on Norm Harris' Percussion Solo Moonbathing http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/moonbathing this piece uses bass pictured above after conversion to fretless and uses my fretless Fender Squire through the metallurgy 3 demo effect.

I have been exploring Sonar X1 and one of the ideas on my list was to apply the apreggiator to a piece of music that was classical and used the harmonic series – just sounded like a good idea. Well, here is the…
I have a story to tell. Debbie and I went to a Guitar Center across town looking for a cheap used bass for me to convert to fretless like I did my Squire Strat. Well.... I ran into a really nice used Ibanez 5 string bass - with a B below E…

This is a serial improvisational piece (excepting some drum loops) in John O’Sullivan’s Blue JI tuning (which I rather like) – all of the instruments, African log drum, Nigerian log drum, Krin slit drum, Teponaxtli, Toere, Kaekeeke, Kalaau…

I'm surprised I forgot to post this collaboration with Norm and Char.
Char performs the reading
Norm performs the percussion
Chris did choir, sax, bass, FXs

Well, I finally got my hands on a 17 note per octave electric guitar thanks for Brad Smith, a local Luthier who did a lovely conversion of a Jay Turser strat copy I bought at the local Guitar Center for $65. The guitar is nicely very bright…

Richard thank you so much for your support. I don't have a problem with simple though it is not something I strive for. Talking to God is hampered more by my inability at the keybaord. However I could not have written that piece on my guitar. I have great respect and admiration for someone like yourself who has command of the keyboard. I have a heck of a time putting to hands together to make something. Chris
This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
A tune composed late in 2009, i've released it as well as other two tracks and some photos from a friend of mine as a micro-ep recently for free! Enjoy!
This is using a tuning I borrowed from The Smashing Pumpkins, which goes E-A-D-G#-B-E. Not…
This is the first song I uploaded to share on the internet when I first donned the name Alpha_Alpha. Thanks to fellow 'lonetoners and SoOn friends Norm and Vaisvil for contributing to make this song really special!
Having fun this week at my own expense, not my genre but what the heck. I used all the kids that were playing at my house on Monday for the chorus - had a blast.
Collaborators: my kids Dylan, Zack, Ally with Jake Henning , Haley Henning

This particular broadcast was talked out about a half hour before I went to my 'You Screwed up' meeting at school. I'd barely woken up and I was ready to Talk Hard about Life (It's capatilized because it's the only one YOU'VE got. That means it…
Second movment,, perhaps a little rough,, comments welcome,,, 6/11 Third mov is now done,,, and very very different from the first two,, scares me a little

Hi Richard, keeping the peace in space is all guitar and percussion. I used guitar effects quite liberally on Brian's, Norm's and my parts. The opening is Brian stretched to 8x and the organ-like part in the last 3rd is Brian's guitar backwards in part and the the 2 chord set copied and pasted a few times.
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
very fun,, ive gotta say i enjoy much of you music
Like Norm i don't understand it but i like it
This is awesome! The bass and the sax are kickin ass!
Brilliant ideas and a very enjoyable saxophone
Sweet!
Gorgeous one !
Excellent stuff loving it jazzy makes me feel like getting pen to paper
Friday eve and the going is good,,,,a well told story....great listen! and the photo is cool toooooo.......
a very enjoyable listen indeed...
wow...
another,, very creative take on our musical world,, i really enjoy your musical explorations,,, sometimes i feel like someone in the old world in the 1500's listening to tales brought from the new world across the sea.... very interesting
it is like playing to random computer musical notes. very well done.
It's like an Irish folk cinematic feeling:)
Like. Thanks for bringing my favorite Poe(m) to life!
This just reconstructed my mind and further more it's brilliant Chris!
very nice,, i am just starting to use the garritan po, think i'll look into the world samples,,,, very nice piece
*staring at his stat copy in the corner.....* do you need more notes lil' buddy? do you? ;) Really dig the sound!
Sounds a bit like Ravel's Bolero. How about a bit more volume on the music and a bit less on the percussion? John.
Very nice tune. but now you make me consider buying the Garritan World set too. ;-) These tuning capabilities in the new player are really awesome
Nice one Chris. Very pretty. Love the pipes and the percussion.

great work my friend!!
I'll give a shot in putting sax to this
lovely - this is chill out at its best!
Lovely!!!
Excellent!
you sound like Radiohead from In Rainbows in places here!
I love this tune! I have in my car and listen to it fairly often!
dude - I love your voice! Nice wah work! Great voice by the kids!
Nice! - I like how it turns into a prog rock piece almost about 1:40 ish
the problem here is that this IS the truth. and that is sad. Nice podcast!
love the deep percussion and sexy tune!
I can't play it :-0 OR delete it...
Nice - I was wondering where you've been!! - and at least your song plays :-)
Actually, if you wanted, I could try a treatment like Keeping the Peace in Space on one of your piano pieces, if you'd like.
