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…

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…
Ha! Epic Vaisvil ax work! I was too ignorant to realize that my headset metronome was getting picked up by the mic at the very end, at which time I was following Vaisvil's excellent suggestion of attempting some microphone/gong manipulation in which the mic was hand held, rotating it about an inch above the face of a simmering 32" gong. Wild stuff!

Norm set me these drums for Dancing on my own a while back but Reg went and dumped the file so we couldn't use them. So i'm using them now, while Reg gets Gone.........Thanks Norm
Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
Reg has this recurring dream of his fantasy women but she is always out of reach...........Thanks to Tess for letting me play with her tune.

ohhh I didn't see you had uploaded this! To answer your question - it was a Yamaha - can't remember the model - it had 3 pedals - I agree about the low end but the high end was really weak in my opinion.
Added a little more to this nice little change of strumming patterns played as an excuse to write a little love song.

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.

I hate you when you breathe. Could you stop?
Waking up is hard to do when sleep never comes
But your ugly faces woke me up...
Callous sycophants
I know you too well to rest again
I'll stay up forever. I'll be ready

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.
Wow, this is...wow.
My goodness, this is tremendous. The sheer scale and talent has me floored. Fantastic!
A great listen - Perfect buildup and rush.

Quite a trip. Very Nice!
Awesome. Illegal Alien Autopsy
Cool composition - like the last 15 seconds especially.
Oooo, like it! w;-)

this is a great combination!!
interesting piece!
rockin' Reg and Norm - nice collaboration. Good combination if instruments.
loving the harp. this was a good choice!
I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
Nice work - a good combination.
wow! this harp work sounds great!!! Unfortunately the guitar pictured isn't the one in the recording (we'll get to that tomorrow)
You made it into a classical piece - I love that. Great work Richard!
ohhh I didn't see you had uploaded this! To answer your question - it was a Yamaha - can't remember the model - it had 3 pedals - I agree about the low end but the high end was really weak in my opinion.
the scope of this is totally impressive
one of my favorite songs - done really well!
Beautiful Richard!!
this is an excellent song!
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!
