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…
All of this is performed - Norm's many percussion devices, Fender Mustang, and GR-20 driven by the guitar for the rest of the voices excepting a bit of a choir at the end.
Ha! This was great fun for me generating a large number of interesting spooky noises -all acoustically- in my laboorratory. The chilling errie wind sound was created with a long spring, attached to the head of a small hand drum (known as a “spring drumâ€, of course) and the “opening crypt†sound was generated by running my thumb nail down the spring under tension. And any time I get to hit the 30†Paiste gong, you know I’m smiling –evilly in this case.

I extended my very short Halloween piece - doubled it in length - not too hard considering it still is only a minute long.
This is using the Garritan Personal Orchestra sample set.
2 organs, piano, flute, bassoon.

Improvisation is what I love, finding out about things (when there is a little time).
I also post the video where I have used it in. Hedgehogs were here last year in our garden, and now they start coming back from hibernation. Uk, the hedgehog…

At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…

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!
Lovely, lovely piece, beautifully balanced strings. A wonderful listen!
Provocative and powerful.
i like it.

Wonderful stuff guys!
Lovely medieval feel!
Ah, dark shadows indeed! That was gorgeous!

Very cool.
Nice and slightly crazy vampirian atmosphere, an interesting song, good work!
Which ferret is the witch ferret?

*astonished*
Damn.... Elvis IS in the building~!
Man I just *love* your voice. The music and mood is great - but you have a great voice. Bummer on the injury.
lovely improvisation!
yeah - the vocalists get all of the groupies.
good point - Reg?
you certainly did this one justice - lovely!
exquisite! The choral entrance is set up extremely well.
cool cover!!
this is what I'm talk about!! Rocking! So did your hands hurt hitting the metal?
nice work Richard!
Norm I really like it! Is there anyway I could you into sending me the TUBS for the main beat? I want to plagiarize it for a marimba part.
awesome! You are unleashing your inner Sonny Landreth!
whoa! The gong sounds HUGE!
excellent work - sad, sad blues.
wow you nail Elvis so well.
and I 2nd what Norm said - you have an amazing tonal control over your voice.
lovely
this just excellent - the production has great clarity too!
this is an excellent collaboration!
