HYSTERIA
poem by: T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)
As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved
in her laughter and being part of it, until her
teeth were only accidental stars with a talent
for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps…
Sketch of the ripple of unseen muscles. Tea for two who wish to take their tea in the garden. Concentrating of attention with careful
subtlety to this end. I like that.

Ha! Very clever! I love the bass lick and vox... and I'm very proud to be a part of your first accoustic recording of cornet, flute and harmonica. Historic indeed.
And what an interesting poem. I read up on it. Some highlights:
With "Hysteria" Eliot created an unconventional poetic diction by using verse rhythms that were based on the cadences of speech rather than poetic structure.
It is possible that the laughter may be a product of the woman’s ‘hysteria’, but it is more likely that the title applies to the narrator’s reaction to that laughter. “As she laughed,†he begins, “I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter and being part of it.†He begins to feel as though he has physically become the laughter he is observing."
"The narrator’s goal is to collect pieces of the details he was able to capture in order to rebuild a coherent reality. The reader is left somewhat skeptical of this goal, however, because of the narrator’s doubtful language. “If†the woman’s breasts “could†be stopped, “some†fragments “might†be collected. Each line contains two distinct words of uncertainty, and by the end we are not sure that the narrator’s hysteria can be cured.

As can happen when you listen to sometime a million times over your mind and ears start accepting things that later you wish you had not. This is a (much better imho) revision thanks to the urging of Gary from the music by computer list.

My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

nope - those are chinese gongs - some just have natural phasing - I don't know how that works but there it is. Also, according to the gong samples I have you can get a large number of different sounds depending how they are struck. Heck, I forgot, Norm has a gong - a pretty big one too - I bet he could make you some custom gong samples if you'd like.
I did this in order to stretch it out about 20 times as long as it is and did just that but or should I say because I used a very low sample size for the sound I would get something similar to echo stretches just like a 2k size of sample in paulstretch…

Outland (The Ballad of Jarrod X)

Mother, why did you lie to me?
I didn't have to make the same mistakes as you.
Father, why did you run away?
There was so many things left unspoken with you.
Jarrod walks…
Chris sent me this great tune playing his 17 ET guitar and fretless bass, and for some reason i thought Mafia instantly. Sammy the Bull was the under-boss to John Gotti back in the 80's and 90's and he turned informer to bring John Gotti down…

Kick ass collab gents. Fine work chris and norm! FAV'D Love the additions to the track! The horns work great.
What a vocal. Go for it Chris!
Crazily spooky! Totally envy your sustained notes. Damn.
DL'd for later :)
I like the long held out vocals combined with the scales your using....very somber, and droning feel. Very off-tune...but yet very much in-tune...
Less then one minute in and i already love it.
very nice,, as always i am amazed by your art
Beatifully sick! I like it very much!!
Wow, stirring stuff!
Yes indeed cool!
Ummm just blown away!
Cool story about Majnun. Very pro sounding production. Horns sound great to me.
yes........very chaotic and interesting all at the same time,,,,,

this is lovely contemplative and serene.
My Debbie is very picky and loves this piece! She says "its sounds very pretty!"
this is lovely - sounds Anthony Phillips

this one is less defined some how
ooo 0:16 - like the electric guitar feedback sound! you are getting a lot of great textures!
some Janis Joplin or Joe Cocker vocals would really finish this one off!
the video gives the impression of galactic nebula super imposed on visceral human organic residues - this is a really unique video Bill.
much more effective with the video and stretch! this looks so cool!!
I love The Lamb - this is great!
love the slide!
great campfire tune!
what is that opening lead instrument? it is so strong! I love your vocals.
it is such a sad sounding piece.
nice easy listening piece - very rich!
who cannot love a track with a name like this? Awesome mind-messing tremolo.
damn you sound like Joe Cocker now! This is great all the way around. - Been behind - I had not heard the original - or I don't remember it
I use pianoteq mostly. Your piece is very beautiful.
indeed - you brought this baby to life!! Bravo Reg!
you two are Mr Funk!!
