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…
This rough track uses my Blue Just Tuning system (go to www.johnsmusic7.com for details and a photo of the guitar). This is the same tuning Chris Vaisvil used in his Excluded By Peers piece. I hope to add some lead to the track soon.

She chatted all the way;

For all she had to say.

Jqscutt had this guitar riff that he sent me and we worked out a song with bass, rhythm, lead and drums over the internet. I posted it for a collab for some key additions. This was added by TiS friends K-Lyd and Coruz. Later, they found Liam…
A slightly destructive children's song... But I suspect that many of you have tried some of the things mentioned.

Let's try it out this afternoon
We'll tie the dog up to the sled

this is the second part that was recorded during a acid studio work creation, just letting the audacity record what sounds that were while i did the midi/audio sound work.. :) am posting the same video work here because both songs are in the video…
That is a cool video!!! Psychodrama!! man this is some intense music and images! Reminds me of The Residents!!
To answer your question we got two ferrets from a shelter and one was so calm we called him buddha and so we called the other gandhi to match.
I am leaving this week for a while but couldnt resist adding as the third collaborator on this excellent track by Keith Landry and Osckilo before I go.
Added some bass,ambient stings, and of course sleigh bell
Hope you guys like it.
See you…
Perhaps you could use a little fatherly advice? Well here it is!

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
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!

such lovely control of your two hands. I wish I could play like you.
When I was a kid this was one of my favorite songs to sing. It is so beautiful. Your arrangement and performance is to die for Richard. So lovely.
That is a cool video!!! Psychodrama!! man this is some intense music and images! Reminds me of The Residents!! To answer your question we got two ferrets from a shelter and one was so calm we called him buddha and so we called the other gandhi to match.
love it!
This is great. Excellent work everyone!
my comment didn't make it? Please, more like this - this is excellent Norm!!
it sounds like mourning - sad and (relatively) quiet screams. this is awesome work Steve.
