This is for today's Improvfriday. Being all a first pass improvisation against a drum beat - there are mistakes. I did go back and spiced up the drums just a bit. everything but the drums is my Roland GR-20
This is an improvisation on a theme I play all the time when I sit at the keys. Sort of a warm up I've been playing for a very long time. It is very simple and I may have used it here already. My apologies.

I could've done with this last night - piped it in to the street, could've helped the trick or treaters keep their perspective!
(Especially when my neighbour's car was trashed by a young man with a baseball bat.)
Right, well I am here ready to be terrified for 32 minutes!
An atmospheric and creepy ride with sensational sound effects. Penetrating last note there.
This is a short soft Jazz piece I found while playing through a few chords this evening.
Guitar split (GR-20) left and right + (GR-20) sax.
Maybe a certain percussionist might join in when he can?

This is a solo piano performance using an M-Audio 88es midi controller, Pianoteq, and a tuning I devised that is based on a harmonic series segment reduced to one octave.

Please hit "more" — March 01, 2010 — I take a stab at performing a song live on video in several takes. Since this was an improvisation with a couple takes here and there it is not as polished as some may like.
if you want the full quality…
Thank you for the comments. I don't often comment here anymore but I do want to answer your Rhodes question. I believe Ben uses a Yamaha Motif. The clarinets are real. I'd love to hear your new age version of Stairway - that would be grand!
here is a song from 72, by bread, that I always wanted to make a harder rock version of. an idea I have had since the early 70's. this was one of the rockin' songs by bread who did a lot of mellow love songs. there is something fun about turning…
For a friend who touched my heart
Emotion - 1975
Delicatly, softly,
Not knowing where she wants to be
Confusing, disillusioning,
Not knowing who she wants to be
Pulled from side to side
And inside about to die
She screams, I can't take it…

OOOOh Bethan - the equipment was so bad it picked up Citizen's Band radios that were over-driven beyond the legal limit. Nonetheless. I still had the crush :-)

Playing guitar while watching a storm come in on weather radar.
Fernandes guitar with the sustainor pickup system. It's like an ebow for all the strings at once! Loads of fun :)

This is an invitation, with instructions, on how any AT musician can hop a train in the US and get to my house for a jam session. Figured the lyrics needed to mention all 3 of the collaborating musicians home towns cuz they all run along these…
I asked JohnnyRobbo from over on the Cool-lab to do the backer for this one as our next Collab together and he's done an outstanding job on it ...I had the easy bit adding the words...Hope you enjoy this Led Zep classic......
All this Big Brother is getting a bit much for Reg............so he's got to thinking... O,O!!.... So here's a bit of a noodling folkyPsychodelic thing in Protest at our loss of freedom and where the future may lie......who's to blame?..........

Lovely 'end of a long day' feel, with ice cubes.
tastey riff...
Majestic!
Awesome theme! The keys are sweet and so are the others.
Halloween Music!!! Brilliant craftsmanship! 33 minutes of "strange" ear pleasure:)
Strange and nightmarish. Great tune for Election Day :D

Very uplifting, lovely melody - looking forward to hearing Bee all over this!

Excellent! Now I don't need to run out and buy one of those Halloween CDs to play for my trick-or-treaters.
Where do you think these things up. Really creepy but most effective. I listened to 10 minutes but got called away. Will be back!
You have me wanting to make scary sounds too...
Very pretty indeed. This would be perfect for Bethan
I'll sing it for you Chris! if you still want that is.... It's really pretty.
Love it!Great stuff! Fit perfectly.
Yes. Just yes.
Keep pushing that envelope! Tell me again, as you recorded this, are you listening to the tuning as we hear it in the recording?
AHhhhHhhhHHhhh!
Interesting tuning. Oddly disturbing and strangely beautiful at the same time
Great stuff there!

has ORH rubbed off on you?
Thank you for the comments Kavin - I know I'd be happy listening to B read a phone book too! And this piece is simply magical!
I'm at 28+ minutes.... this is awesome!
Beautiful. Gosh I really love what you do with your rig.
don't step on the event horizon!
yeah this is a good song indeed.
15 edo
crazy stuff!
I should mention the echo was a real echoplex... I do miss it.
OOOOh Bethan - the equipment was so bad it picked up Citizen's Band radios that were over-driven beyond the legal limit. Nonetheless. I still had the crush :-)
If by fuzzy wuzzy you mean touching my heart - well I had a crush on Cindy.
it is a vintage 1975 cassette recording with bad equipment - please listen to the spirit, not the reality.
this is great - there is a lot of playing with expectation in this. that is awesome work Bruce!
Beautiful Bruce!
I agree with Kavin
awesome!!
Easily gets "one of the best of AT" awards! Awesome song!
oh yeah - this superb!
execellent!
