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

Not to start a George tribute, but here's a cover I did with Facemask93 that I really love. All I did was bass, backing vox and the drum pattern arrangement - I did feel a little like a dope trying to sing along with Rob's amazing voice, but will…
what I did was play two tracks of violin with a viola bow and 1 track of fretless guitar bowed with the viola bow and finger picked with your track. I then noise reduced the takes and sliced them into appropriate loops - with the two styles of playing fretless separate into 4 channels of Sonar's Matrix view. Then I wanted more time so I took your track and reversed it and tacked it onto the end. After that I set up matrix view with the loops and effects into 4 audio channels. (guitar rig, dblue glitch, lexicon reverb, cakewalk amp sim absynth 5 effects and camel space) Some of the clips got effects as well. I then performed matrix view live against your track + reversed track. This left the clips in the audio track - some of those I randomly reversed the audio here and there. Then I mastered and uploaded. One other thing I did to you track was impose a volume envelope and then put a compressor on top - those two things kinda fight it out.
The Flying Bear features a nice fusion of funk and rock that leaves the listener both satisfied and excited. An experimental vibe is very prominent during the song's bridge, and the entire song can be rooted back to Soulstice Music's Red Hot Chili…
3 guitar tracks followed by a track with the trap set. A lot of alt tuning lately posted on AT which I like. This guitar was tuned to an open G. After I did it, I thought the sound was more like a backwoods, hillbilly song.
Unfortunately…
A song about not wanting to feel for someone that has treated you badly and left you behind.
Despite having these feelings you still feel this person is above you. As they fly freely and you're left lost on the ground.
When they come flying…
An experiment with quarter tone tuning.
I tuned my guitar: low E (normal tuning)
A (quarter step up)
D (normal tuning)
G (quarter step down)
B (normal tuning)
high E (tuned D then quarter step down)
This time I tried something else. It's definitely more jazzy than anything before. I think its a direction in which I'd like to keep going.
I hope you like it!

Nice intro-45 seconds-nice! Simply great~
Wild.

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.

Nice - I like the calm.
funky electro - strange sounds from another dimension - nicely done!!
excellent!
I like the vocals and song writing here. A bit post-Beatlesque
Is this Paul's extreme stretch? Nice work!
hey a George tribute would not be a bad thing! This is great version!! Excellent collaboration!

I liked this quartet a lot - better than No. 4. Melodically it just appealed.
yes! this is great Lalo!
love the effects in here.
excellent - sounds like dreamtime. I love it.
I like your guitar work here - especially past 2:10 - an improvisation?
nope - not heard of robert wyatt - or the music of soft machine for that matter that I can remember.
like the harmony vocals a lot!
nice groove!
Are these clips of Pelosi or Phyllis Schlafly? Excellent tune!
great voice and lyrics!
I like this - makes me want to give this technique a try.
I like it - very gentle.
ambient game music ?
