Don't mind the sound quality, i have listened to a lot of reel to reel, and all of my begining recordings were done on a 4 track cassette recorder. Glad you posted this one. I'm digging it. Agree with Sis, about the 7 min mark it really starts to come together...;)

Progtastic!
Love the whirling intro of the first track, and was gonna request breaking these gems down, but by 7 minutes I threw out that notion - the flow is awesome! The dreamy track at around 9 mins is just gorgeous! Lovely harmonies.
Great musicianship, awesome writing!

has the idea of a triad or circle of 9's possible here at 17 note octaves? (sorry about the difficult question but I don't have the direct control of 17 notes in equal temper right now.)

I did this one to Norms track Proof....... it's about a disturbing dream...... i hasten to add it was Reg's dream not mine. So blame him................
my up coming IF comment: a most strange blues backing track but it works well. Some sounds remind me of the daxophone which I recently discovered. Very cool!
A song for a wet day in Sheffield Thanks Johnny.......another one for the Zep album.........I will have to sort out that first verse..........but i hope you enjoy..........
the zoom H2 is battery operated - or if you wish it can use an adapter. The guitar I used is this one http://chrisvaisvil.com/?p=436 Brad converted. Any noise is from the Marshall amp which seems to have a ground problem - at least in the room its in at the moment. I haven't been listening much because I've been editing a lot of video and it brings my machine to its knees.
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…
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
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.

bad sound but cool music!
Beautiful!!

Powerful stuff indeed.
Very intense, love the hits at 4:10ish....
Uber dramatic! Thrilling, even!
Swings like a pendulum - love that sax break!
~good piano tune with blue temperament in mind~

finally I get to hear this - oh this is so weird - Elvis does Beatles! I like the arrangement.
sad story - one that is all too real.

I do plan on making another. I need to research what wood to use instead of the cool looking but stab in the dark wine box this time.
Beautiful job on the vocals here Reg!

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 ;-)

again - this is great! Downloaded!

oh wow - James Bond 22nd century style!
The Texas Tavern serves cheesy westerns (cheese, fried egg, burger, bun) in the downtown of Roanoke Va.
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!
