I had not touched my keyboard for a long time - couple months? So it was inspiring to play it again. I set it up in the living room of the new house and played pianoteq on my laptop using a Just Intonation tuning (below). Actually I had to improvise…
It is to you
I look for every step
It is to you
I look for every breath
No one can see the tide they're riding
No one can see the place they're going
It is for you
I look in every face
It is for you
I look in every place
There is no loneliness…
It is to you
I look for every step
It is to you
I look for every breath
No one can see the tide they're riding
No one can see the place they're going
It is for you
I look in every face
It is for you
I look in every place
There is no loneliness…

I'm working on several version of this art song by Charles Ives called The Cage from 1906. I would be very interested to collaborate with a vocalist (the flute line or an octave below) - and the vocal style doesn't have to be operatic - probably…

I've tried to improve it by remastering in sonar.

Well, I had this crazy idea that *maybe* Buddy Guy was using some microtonal inflections in his cover of Tramp (which are what the "blue notes" are and thought it would be cool to cover it with my fretless guitar. As it turned out it was my ear…

Kav makes an excellent point. These folks are just attention whores and hypocrites. If a person or group of persons really wants to burn some books in their back yard or behind their churches then burn them quietly. If I organize a group of people to help me rake the yard and then we set the pile ablaze it's nobody else's business so long as we have things under control. Why advertise? But as we know history repeats itself ad nauseam. The churchy people admonish the likes of artists such as Marilyn Manson and they practice the same sh*t. At the very least don't be hypocritical.

I heard on the radio something about some guy in Florida wanting to burn a crayon, so what? Who cares if he burns a crayon and I do not think it sends a message at all. Crayons are just wax and some food color so who cares.But if he wanted to burn all the crayons everywhere I would say woo hold on now , how could I color this picture of me kicking mohammed's azz if you burn my crayon. But he just wants to burn one or two so no big deal.Anyways cool tune.

Mr. Jones' congregation is about 30 people strong. I wonder who is financing this whole bonanza. Armed sermons? Now there's a church for me.
Praise God and pass the bullets.
Did the guitar tracks first, followed by bass, then drums and vocals last. I wrote this song in a bookstore, after I came home and recorded it, I realized I made the song too short for all the lyrics.

I suck at most electronica genres (like trance - I don't like the 4 on the floor aspect) and I don't think I've given country a serious try yet as well.
Sung By John B - he also does most of the instrumentation. My contribution is simply that I wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and if you listen closely I play the guitar parts. A cross Atlantic collaboration.
two recorders and a flute get together in the back of a countryside English church late in the afternoon.....

comments about…
Well, since I have not used MOTU SI I can't compare but you can since you can hear my Kontakt 4 sample set. Sonar 8.5 was / is a radical upgrade if you write more than classical music. But if one were strictly classical composition minded a better (rational!) program than Sonar to score with would make more sense to invest in than sonar 8.5 . I look forward to hearing what you are working on!
I own the piano score but I found an accurate score as a midi file on the net and started from there. (That saved a 2 or 3 hours at my pace.)
Then I loaded the file into Sonar 8.5 and orchestrated it by assigning instruments to the VSTi called Kontakt 4 and its Vienna Symphony samples. Adjusting velocities / color / and a few notes took 3-4 hours. The most difficult part was creating the final mix which I'm still not 100% happy with.
Hi Richard, there is a contest to make microtonal demo tunes with MOTU. Selection of contestants is over and now we all must make at least 3 microtonal demonstration pieces. The Dance of the Unicorn is in a werckmeister equal beating variant.
this prelude is very nice. the descending register pattern is a nice variation. I see you sneak in the left hand :-)
Wanna go for a ride? Hop on in! (Many thanks to JQScutt for his excellent guitar work!)

Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race…
Took sandbag's [Andromeda 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/andromeda-1) and applied some BigSeq2 and LiveCut.
Added a little FM8 underneath.
And this happy little accident came out.

Love like a salt river washing away
Love's like sunshine evaporate
Love like floating candles blowing away
Watch out for the way you'll compensate
When I've seen all you have to give
When I'm still hungry
I need more than this
Tell me how…

Semi live in that I had an idea of where I wanted to go, but never locked the melody in (as is probably obvious).
Hi Richard - I don't like being bored :-) I also am experimenting with some success with microtonal music as well. Drop by www.notonlymusic.com and www.chrisvaisvil.com some time.
Now.... this is a lovely sensitive piece!
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
dIG IT
Very cool! Dig your tone on that guitar solo and those background vocal effects are great!
Really dig this....not sure how you come up with this stuff, but it's pretty sweet!
Its like grooving with an ice pick, chipping out sounds and sights. Very interesting sound here.
hey thanks! downloaded!
nice played
Interesting,,,, i also just listened to the cage but could not leave a comment or fav ......my how we change/evolve over time...
yeah! those guitars are some killers in action!!
Breathtaking performance.
awesome
Impressive progression.
Great song writing man. It's fun being the whole band. Sticks and all. Love it!!!
I am so much loving your guitar here. So creative and cool sounding. All blue notes hu? Sorta Hendrix or Trower like isn't it.
Whoaaaaa, deep and cool tune. I got shivers all over listening to this. This one has the spook.
When I was a lad we used to melt crayons to make multi-colored candles (it was the 60's), seems to me more constructive than outright burning crayons.
Kav makes an excellent point. These folks are just attention whores and hypocrites. If a person or group of persons really wants to burn some books in their back yard or behind their churches then burn them quietly.

A crayon may not be such a big deal - but intentionally harming your neighbor is. If no one stops first - it will never stop.
