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…

epic 20 min recording. Anyone who played in the 80's can see though the familiar low-fi tape contribution. Its almost, nostalgically better in a way...love the change ups at 5:20 - 6:10 etc.
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

Samples used in this tune from the NY subway this summer. Inspired by Dave Dunseath
3-12, just uploaded a new version of this with guitar- and some other changes
So this is the source for the mixes I am doing just performed / recorded / video-digitized this performance too. If you would like to remix this I suggest doing so from this file or letting me send you the 60mg 320 kbs file of these sounds…
this is really exciting progressive experimental sound and video Bill! You need to find a theremin - you playing it in a video like this would look so cool!
wow! the rabbit hole is deep here. this is one of your best ever. I'd love an album of this! Downloaded.
I'm checking out your other new ones after this finishes. I'm at 6 min right now.
Its done. wow - this is really something else. Excellent work!
And another one I didn't share from the same day. I must of been in a funk where it all sounded really bad. This improvisation concentrates more on melodic aspects of 22 edo though there are some harmonies.
Hello guest (75.27.136.221)
I'm just following my ears. I suspect my mind imposes more order on the chaos than just running wild - also I suspect it is not a strict "anything" like a MOS.
Back to basics here. recorded with the Yeti mic.
Ramblin' round your city,ramblin' round your town
I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
My sweetheart and my parents I left in my old hometown…

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.
to create your own new work play the video and music together .. each time…

This is a captured and then edited live performance using the Sonar Matrix view using various samples - some of which were paul stretched.
I'm liking this - if only they had the possibility to change the pitch live it would be like sticking…
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…
i was listening to a post of this Beatles cover by oldrottenhead this morning,,it is a really great song, so this evening i sort of just sort of sat down an let it happen,,i didn't even really know the song as much as i might like,, but i find…
Hi Richard, Re: Hotel Cali => yes clarinet for main vocal, oboe for backing vocal - everything you hear is from Kontakt's standard sample set. Thank you for the listen and comment!

Nice intro-45 seconds-nice! Simply great~
Wild.
epic 20 min recording. Anyone who played in the 80's can see though the familiar low-fi tape contribution. Its almost, nostalgically better in a way...love the change ups at 5:20 - 6:10 etc.
Percussion is Ace! love the harmonies that follow.
My favorite parts are when you drop back into 6/8 meter like at 20 mins.
*holds up lit lighter* You + Mike = always great.
That vocal sounds like your playing it on the guitar excellent
Oh yeah, I dig it, bro! I love the intelligence you put into your tracks.
sweet guitar work vaisvil!
One of those "wow wish I'd done that" tunes. Excellent guitar work and conception!
Wow- great piece of work. Love that processed vocal!
well done,,, very pretty
What an interesting, if not somewhat sad, story about a poet I had never heard of. I love your bass work here.
reminds me of a mixture of such a variety of songs.
Very quite and nice...
/me smiles that wistful old man smile Good times.
Hi Vaisvil! this is simply awesome!!
Had a few listens on TIS....lots of green spice and awesome sense of musicianship with the fellows!! Love it!!
Great stuff
killer....loved every minute of it.
Comments made by vaisvil
the lyrics are so true...
great guitar riff in the opening! And I love the vocal effects!!
Cool - but I think I've heard this before ;-)
this is really exciting progressive experimental sound and video Bill! You need to find a theremin - you playing it in a video like this would look so cool!
again - this is great! Downloaded!

oh wow - James Bond 22nd century style!

nice meditation!
this is extremely cool! much enjoyed!!!
great!!
I like this a lot - more than like this is great! To my ears it sounds like a microtonal progressive rock song.
I'm watching the video. This is truly impressive and progressive art!

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.
