This an improvisation in 17 notes per octave with layered software synthesizers. Specifically, various percussion ensembles, french horn, piano, and two synthesizers. At one point I forgot what in the world I was doing because I transposed the…

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.)

This is the first tune I wrote using an actual loop pedal. I really like the rawness of its form. The sound is sharp, it kind of attacks your ear.. but then after it loops around a few times, it calms down and sinks in..
I expect that there will…
Its my first attempt at writing a piece for piano. I think this would probably best be played by two players..
if I ever write out the piece on paper, it might have to be so.
I would value any of your comments greatly, as I greatly want to improve…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…
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.

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~

cool - I've not heard an oboe ensemble before!
Excellent - what pedal are you using?
this is excellent - I love what you do with the chord stabs towards the end especially!
reminds me of KD Lang for some reason - I hope that isn't bad.
I love your toys!
this is excellent
beautiful - just right!
another great track!
wonderful - and the lyrics are like my own life. ACL is great!
this is a great tune!! I love the banter and self references.
I love this! Who is doing the voices / singing?
