nice work with the knob twirls .. :) that would be a lot of what I did too.. :)

I found that depending on the preset the korg is set to and with controlling the korg with supernova II midi controls is awesome in that I can hear something change when I move a knob on the supernova ii but --- recording that and putting it into a different midi system is not like active changes in real time but or control between different systems is so cool have you tried that with kontact and the prophet?

WOW amazing sounds.

this is great.. --- wow really intense mix here.

it is great stuff.. === 10:10 the voice unidentified and yet ominous with the bending sounds ... that is what it is .. -19:30 is a neat neat sound besides the conversations going on. at 20:51 it stopped ? so I downloaded it ... and was able to get it to play again the feed just stopped? IDK but I could pick up where it stopped...

great work here..

Last be the name and the tonal altering, backward at times.

so mellow I enjoyed this

ok was that a physical change to your voice or by electrons the higher chipmunk like voice?

This has an interesting, kind of uneasy, but relaxing dissonance to it. Reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on, but I like it. Like a dreamy castle from some videogame or something.

this is so so well played I like it.

Funky crazy people.

I don’t feel it’s sane or insane, people have both aspects from time to time... It’s how we treat each other in kindness and love or the opposite,.. and IMO people who hurt people have been hurt themselves,.. to break the propagation of hurt and accept people where they are turning cheeks and offering help/friendship is, to stop the hurt

definite Fripp infused here. Takes me back to Wind on Water I think.

19 and modern color but 300 years ago in emotion and feeling!

Once I was chicken and I had to get to the other side of the road, because I had gone everywhere on this side of the road.

I just listened to the two korg songs impressive how much post processing was there?

you do this well is there much stress from the --- I guess being sync with everything?

in space... there is no up or down.. (just saying)

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.

This is cool! You made the google guitar sound like its going through a *huge* stack.

wow. very powerful words and music.

this is excellent - and unique!

lovely Richard! Sounds light music for a candle light dinner.

thank you for the listen and comment on my seagull improv.

Reg - he did do something like that one day - and yes it was great!

and the excellence of the music should be overlooked too.

Reg - you are one heck of a story teller! Have you considered writing a novel or short story?

Hi John, I like this one.

you should be creating music for sci-fi films!

I wish AT had a repeat button. I'm downloading this - great piece Norm!

I'm going to put this in my profile if it will fit. the question of how microtonality is perceived and why is a hotly debated one on the tuning list. There seems to be, in general, but not in all cases, shared intervals around the world, like the 5th. However non-western cultures use, in general, microtonal tunings. !2 equal notes to an octave is a relatively recent invention in the west. 300 years ago it was common for what would be now called a microtonal tuning to be in common, everyday use. As best as can be determined the push for 12 equal was all about changing keys in a single piece of music. If you take the tuning of the middle ages, Pythagorean, you find you can't play in any key despite having 12 notes because the intervals between the notes are not equally spaced. As a result when you take a pure chord and move it up or down the octave with the same distance between the notes it could become something hideous. 12 Equal solves that problem at the expense of detuning all notes, some more than others.

Hi Ricard, thanks for the listen and comment. It is probably hard not to hear 14 edo as out of tune since it so close to 12 but not quite there. I think then your sense of it being flattened and less bright is the result of the tuning.

This is beautiful! I love the bluesy feel. Would it be ok if I try to add to this?

On the three GR-20 pieces uploaded 6/8/11 this is how it works. In a nutshell - my guitar replaces a keyboard - but can do more. Everything you hear is driven by me playing my Fender Mustang in one improvised pass. Now, for each song the Fender Mustang by itself (or through an amp simulator) is heard - this sound comes from the traditional pick ups on the guitar. Besides that I have installed a Roland GK-3 pick up on my Mustang. This pick up has 6 tiny picks ups - one for each string and connects to a fairly large switch and then a 1/4" cable with some 11 lines - regular guitar output and 6 outputs for the GK-3. This cable connects to the GR-20 synthesizer / midi interface. The GR-20 first decodes, almost instantly, the note each string is playing. It then converts that to midi pitch information and shoves that out the back. More on that later. Also, since the GR-20 is a synthesizer besides, it takes the pitch information and routes it to an internal sound (if desired). The really interesting part is what happens when I route that midi output to my computer. At my computer Sonar lets me assign that midi data to any number of synthesizers / samplers/ what-have-you all at the same time. So, if I want a voice or strings or piano - no problem. As for drums - Kontakt has a really neat groups of sampled drum sets that are a combination of "one shots" and smaller loops. So for instance on one of the pieces when I played the C below middle C I got a snare roll, play the B below it I get the accent that finishes the roll. So, by playing many notes I get a complex assortment of drum sounds that are in time with my playing. I've used this technique before - I am learning how to control it better - and the response is different for each of the dozen or so drum kits packaged with Kontakt - and then consider the effect of different tempos - the result is a fair amount of variety.

your vocal control amazes me - excellent story and song!

Good one! You have a way, like The Boss, of touching something about life in your songs that just resonates. And judging from the comments -- resonates with pretty much everyone who hears.

I'm liking this!

this is a cool rocking piece - but didn't you use B maj as a resolution of B sus in there?
