I *finally* found a solution for my two broken tuning machines on my old beat up mandolin. After getting the machines fixed I decided to take it for a spin. This is an improvisation as recorded on my Zoom H2 with just a bit of compression.
This is a smooth jazz piece built around Norm Harris' percussion using Garritan Jazz and Big Band sample set with the Aria player and a touch of tonehammer's Francesca sample set. Something Norm and I did last April.
Scored for upright bass…

cool. I like your range of work (a fellow eclectic).
re: twikk, there may be some beating effects thought they weren't explicitly planned. there's certainly a crapload of hard, random panning.

Not terribly odd except for how I did it with Fretless gutiar.
I recently bought a used Fender Squier for $60, pulled the frets with pliers, filled the cuts with plastic wood, sanded, and jammed. Took about 2 hours to make the guitar fretless…
This started as my fretless guitar bowed and picked with various effects. I then applied Paul's Extreme Stretch at 8x and also with Just Intonation harmonic constraints similar to Keys at Lowes - then the 4 tracks were loaded into Sonar 8.5…

For improv friday
I did an experiment using Paul's Extreme Stretch harmonics function and Audacity.
I took a raw field recording (included here field recording http://notonlymusic.com/board/download/file.php?id=1187 ) and ran it through…

This is part 2 - see Keys at Lowes for an explanation of what I'm trying to do.
Ok, another try using base frequencies of 0.1, 3, 10, 17, 33 and 48 Hz spread in stereo space plus some of the original mixed in. (additional…
This is right up my street, you're really getting some fabulous timbres out of this. I tried the improvFriday site a couple of weeks ago but really had no idea what I was doing.
Quite excellent and I'm only 2 minutes in. This is an amazing composition of ever changing aural landscapes. Wonderful!! and I'm 14 minutes in. At 15 minutes in I downloaded this piece. By 21 minutes you have taken me to a new never seen before aural vista overlooking the eternal. What an incredible transformation to an organ-ish sound at 25 minutes. Wow... the symphonic length was filled with symphonic sound. I love your piece! The closing flute like tones from your ebow is just perfect.

This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…
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.
Well heres my attempt at singing Jerusalem....i would have liked to have performed it better so that the vocal would have done Chris's music more Justice but sometimes you just have to do what you can and go with the flow........thanks Chris…
When i was a young man I stayed round a so called friends house once and heard them talking about me through the walls ........i never let on i heard.........needless to say they are no longer my friend............Hopefully they will hear the…

Think you can safely say the mandolin works, guv! The vocals are also fully functional (if a little quiet?). Cool!
This is excellent. Love it!

hefty piano work. lovely.
I'm always learning from you. Thanks man.
Beautiful... Non-dominant 7ths or otherwise.
Lovely improv!

Thanks again! And I usually don't like banjo - but love it here!
Sad Reg, but so true for too many.
This a beautiful and indeed your arrangement is spotless
Thanks for the listen and comment - now to listen to your piece.
thanks for the listen and rating!
Hi John, thanks for listening. The tuning is 11 EDT and uses 0, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 as scale degrees.
wow! a beautiful memory - very cool. I've only seen just a few meteors so I'm glad to hear your story!
excellent! great vocals and guitar!
Thanks for making this happen!
its so sad when people are two faced - great tune
I posted your video here http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/new/ I hope people watch it.
Wow! what visuals!!
wow is this sad - great vocals Reg!
wow! over 3 hours of music together! I had not realized...
thanks for the inclusion!
very intense programmatic ambiance.
And I should say - some people indeed need their reality checked...
This is great - I love the harmonies especially. The whistle is an excellent counter point to the wonderful guitars.
I'm sharing this to my facebook page. Excellent message Mr Landry!
