We went to visit my dad at his assisted living facility and they have a Yamaha Clavinova on which I improvised for a half hour to provide some entertainment. This is a ~ 3 minute excerpt from about half way through. This was recorded on my Zoom…

2008 - A 12 string guitar Acoustic Improv played in the Pelican tuning DEADAD. It has some rough spots but sometimes the best takes are the first ones. final edits made in Ableton 9 and audacity.
While wiring up a new FX processor in my studio I was messing around with this classic traditional sea shanty. Probably because at this time last week I was playing at the Harwich (UK) International Sea Shanty Festival. Anyway, while messing around…
Orphans were asked to contribute a track to a new 'Halloween Compilation' - released by Whiplash Records - this is our cover of the Coops 'Dwight Fry' - Hope you enjoy!
For this track I used a scale that John McLaughlin once mentioned in an interview, which I later figured out was a Phrygian Dominant scale with the flat-6 omitted.
Thanks for listening.
Inspired by a "flash of gratitude", to the Universe, God or whatever..sitting in the warm summer heat watching my sweetie tend her plants, puffy clouds filling the sky and surrendering to the momentary bliss.

If I lived closer to you, I would drag a couple conga drums along and join you at the retirement facility! Very honorable!
I love that you take the time to entertain people who may not otherwise get the opportunity. And a fine performance too!
Recorded great for live , well done.
The residents are really lucky to have your dad with them - look at the perks they get.
nice sound, nice improvisation! thank you Vaisvil
What a nice thing for you to do. Well done!
I like the subtle progression- almost a rick wakeman feel near the second part. I like the simple ending too.
wow, strings really fill up the room. Great sound !
Clavinova is a cool instrument w/top sound and keyb quality. I have one :-)
Talented you are, nice progression.
So very incredible sounding. I like it a lot. Sounds like something Peter Gabriel would get up to.
Gorgeous sound!
Nice improv. Something also to be said about doing songs in different locations too. background voices a plus.
Very cool! Enjoyed that!
Yes - I love it.
This is lovely,
Oh, yeah! I dig it.
Nicely done mate. Cheers for your recent comment. This is good.
neat.
Awesome!!!

Sounds like middle eastern EDM!
Great guitar work!

Legolas and the woodland elvish band after being gifted synthesizers by Gandalf :-)
some really cool sounds in this!
This really is spooky - it is like being in a haunted house - is this the revived super nova?
really hot guitar!
Is this all you? In any case impressive vocals!
Fantastic cover!
you don't want to wait until I upload the noiseless samples?
This has a really a great sweetness tinged with regret feel.
Nice work!

Nice - must be a cosmic sink!
