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.
As Dave rightly guessed, Elvis is not dead. He is alive and well living in our cellar in Sheffield. He kindly agrees to do a bit for us now and again, as he is getting on a bit now and gets out of breath easily. So here he is possibly for the…
long ago when there was a "guitar electric" in my presence I recorded this and edited it in cubase, back when I used cubase, old and somehow interesting?
She's left, your drunk and on the floor not able to see a future, your friend is trying to help, your not listening, he obviously doesn't understand you need the drink..........
This is a song i always wanted to have a go at and it wasn't until Johnny let me have a go on his representation of it i got my chance. Thanks Johnny for letting me have a go, may you rest in peace............
Combined two separate segments from the performance for this remix. I'm posting live recordings on Soundcloud now. To hear the rest of the set go here and bookmark:

consider this a microcosm of the final work that might just happen ,, yes a complete Klingon Orchestrated Opera :) (feeling shameful that it was Chris's idea first.) (this is a mire raw example of an outproduced work.>
well - actually - there *was* a Klingon opera which is where I got the title. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%80%99u%E2%80%99
and this Klingon band is interesting...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stovokor_%28band%29
this is a mono/nonstereo track because my fourtrack recorded decided that mono is better then stereo but at least the dang thing works ,, I guess,, From now on it is direct records from the outside machine to the computer not thru the fourtrack…
if you use something as a midi controller there are a few VSTi software microtonal synthesizers that are free which makes it easier. Savihost - and other VSTi hosting software let you play microtonally - all you have to keep track of is how the extra (or less) notes translate to the normal keyboard.
This piece is crazy! How'd you do the drums?
As for mono/stereo - what you need is either a Y-cable with 1/4 male to 1/8 stereo (or collection of pieces that do that)
If you are still using Sonar I guess its lets of an issue - just record multiple tracks.
very similar to the 'more of this a' but part 2
btw the video for todays' computer music work is getting uploaded now. all 25 min 25 sec and 25 frames there of.
1/1/11; took bits from two of Mark's tracks from Pleasure Listening (2002) and improvised in Max with them, then mixed in DP. a mellow vibe for the new year.
This song is not for everyone but I like it because its a live recording with a single instrument using infinity delay FX. (I turned on the loop delay at :09 after the guitar was flat on the floor.)
All the sounds are made with an acoustic bass…
I didn't like the 1st version so i changed it so here it is. imagine Sitting in the forest listening to the breeze being free and wanting to follow it..........................
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
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!
oh yeah!
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.
How come i never heard this one before? this is great stuff vaisvil.
hell ya! i like the groove and what you did with your Fretless Guitar...
very cool. I've gotta come back and check this out in its entirety. Illegal Alien
Phantasmagoric!
interesting...
visceral and compelling
that's a cute baby. very fng! JRR
Mr.Beanie Baby?
This sounds like it could be a lost song from "The Cooler" soundtrack. I dig it!
i wonder where you recorded this sample, really smooth and atmospheric!
hefty piano work. lovely.
I'm always learning from you. Thanks man.
Beautiful... Non-dominant 7ths or otherwise.
Lovely improv!
nice piano improvisation I love it!

ha!! great!!
enjoyed!
that is one effected guitar!!
nice!! Would you consider doing a collaboration?
you do a good Morrison!
very strange!
very cool. What gear do you use?

this is an oddly compelling piece - its like an electroband kidnapped Weird Al to jam on accordion. The production clarity is excellent too.
I love the sound of this - beautiful!! What do the pedals do in a pedal steel guitar?

I watched the whole video - I take it what was happening is that you layered video of you layering the sound? Very disorientating and interesting.
this is intense!! more microkorg?
this is a fantastic trip!
your soul is motown~!
alright!! new keys!!! This sounds excellent!
haha! this is great!!
right up my alley - awesome work my friend!
sounds..... Hungarian!
enjoyed!!
