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…
Hi - thought I'd throw up an older piece today while I have time (doing work at the new house later). This is an improvisation with my Fender Mustang / Roland GR-20 combination retuned on the fly to 9 notes per octave "Sorog" tuning. I think…
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…

Yes, as a matter of practicality one performs with volume greater than the actual Fender (headphones to the GR-20, amplification of the Roland GR-20 ) - although I have mixed the "normal" and "new" tunings together and in some cases that sounds nice and fairly unique.

So when you are playing this song on the Fender Mustang, you are hearing it in Sorog tuning, right? But the note that you are playing on the guitar is changed to another pitch by the Roland, so you must have the headset plugged into the Roland output, right?

Vaisvil's response to my question was enlightening: wild stuff!
"well, no actually, it is the Roland GR-20 that gets re-tuned. Performing in many tunings with acoustic instruments is problematic and while I've seen a few attempts none of them I could afford. One could de-fret and re-fret a guitar but not only is it time consuming you then have either many guitars or a commitment to one tuning for a good space of time.
So.. long story short - musical electronics are making microtonal music practical. Of course this is purely from a western perspective - other cultures have been performing microtonal music for millennial. Or, as a Turkish composer told me - the west is the real microtonal music because its the compromise compared to other cultures."

really very beautiful, and rich sounding, a lot of cool musical thoughts making a tapestry of sound,,, very nice,, the percussion underlying this is very interesting... i will be looking to see you guys on a movie track in the future well played
This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques.
Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is.
The piano, bass…
Just another obscure saint. Not much known about him. Probably much more important and significant than any of us will ever realize.
Oh, yeah, and then there is Saint Simon. Same thing for him.

From December 2017, my take on an old classic, with a little twist of a bonus number near the end. It may be the first tune I did in 6/8 time, at least that anyone has heard from me. This (sort of) should have a rolling highlands sound to it…

Another recent song somehow not posted to AT (?) cleaning house this weekend.
Had the privilege of playing around with a cello in the house.
Dont know how to play the damn thing but too fun not adding it in the mix
Working through a barrage of songs over two different computers. thought I posted this already but its not on AT. (?)
A little re-tooling on this one today as well.
Enjoy- Reef
First one for a long time thanks for listening .... thought i'd try playing everything...still got to work on that bass and drums

Damn! Feels good to hit the Upload button again!
Completed RPM 17. this is the last track!!. the album is my first run through with logic pro ( dumping pro tools and the monthly subscription fee)
I feel great playing again.. been so long…
I wrote this song about 2 years ago and shared it here on Alonetone back then. I decided to do a studio recording of it recently. With the help of the team at F5 Soundhouse here in Minneapolis we've created this updated version. I hope you enjoy…
Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too

I decided to keep working on this one a bit on the "keep messing with it" program.... added some backing vocals and some piano.... kind of like where its heading after the one take wonder before... Any other suggestions are very welcome…

I rearranged my old nostalgia-soaked piece for two guitars, hope you might like it.

A wonderfully jazzy piece played with harmonies to die for, and Norm, of course. This guys is great!
very mellow,, and again nicely done,,it's inspiring to hear all your different works
very nice Chris,, notes are very clear,,, well played,,improv can be a lot of fun
very beautiful sounding
beautiful piece, and maybe my fav, of your microtonal repertoire..
Sweet!
so very nice!
Yes, most relaxing. Lovely piece!
Rainstorm music! Beautiful...crazily potent!
Spartan with a complicated sound - That is pretty damn cool.
Very cool.
Delicate and serene. Beauty indeed.
A masculine piece with an oriental flavour. Most interesting and different.

You actually tune the Fender Mustang to the Sorog tuning, right?

Whew! That's a dandy production right there. Some great changes and that piano is sterling.
I still love it.

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
oh I mean this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZQxH_8raCI
It has shades of Paul Revere and the Raider's Spirit in the Sky mixed in what has to be the most rocking version I've heard!
very beautiful vocal, production. Very sweet sound!
Nice work!
beautiful!
this is really good!
man you sound like Gilmore on this! Voice and guitar!
Ha!
nice that you are doing it all - you've grown alot in musicianship over the years!
this is so touching...
There is something very vital here. I really like it.
Zeppelin III had a lot of special songs and this was one of them - excellent choice and execution!
Great!
This is wonderful!
Love - indeed too long!
This as well is wonderful too!
This is certainly one of the best I've heard by an internet artist, period. Superb writing and performance.
Lovely song and performance!
Beautiful piece!
