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

I have mashed Shane Cadman and Chris Vaisvil and myself. this is a neat mix -- I took Shane Cadman's song here and then with Chris's mandolin work I stretched it out to match the length of Shane's Song as well as doing the same with two drum…
Nice neoclassical trio - very pleasant!
The octave mandolin is available at music stores that deal in folk / country instruments. I bought mine used and is made by Trinity College. Not sure if they are still in business. Its double the size and not surprisingly tuned as a regular mandolin but an octave below. Search for Sierra Hull on youtube - excellent mandolin player and has some videos that compare the two.
So, here is the third and final Movement of my first Piano Concerto...have really enjoyed this project. I will soon now be adding the complete Work to this site too.
A collaboration with Chris Vaisvil! I'm so jazzed he took a Thumbjam sketch of an idea and ran with it. Either an alternate Star Wars imperial march or Amon Duul jamming with Mahavishnu, don't know which.
Chris Vaisvil: guitars
Kavin.: Synths…
Roland SE-02 through EHX Stereo Memory Man -> Zoom RFX-300. Title comes from a combination of the time length, and the fact that it was created for the current Sound-In for 1-7/1/2021.

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.

On theme and on message! Really like this! To quote Rodney King - "I just want to say – you know – can we all get along? Can we, can we get along?"
nice work - somewhat subdued and introspective
nice work here!
Thank you for putting this together! Sounds great!

Beautiful work!

Lovely work! - back to give a well deserved like!
Finally got back to give you a like!
Thanks for the collaboration - all I can say is - I'd like to do more. :-)
It is so hard to cut through the end of RPM - I really like what you added to my bass line! Thank you for this! Your work is excellent!
https://youtu.be/7QXKRH0R4Og is the video for it
There are some definitely micro tonal inflections here!
beautiful!
the heavy flanging is a treat! I'll diverge from Bill and say its bigger birds at 14:00. this is cool!
Some excellent effect manipulations going on here!
