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!
This is was originally for piano and is a fair assessment of my piano playing abilities in 1977 and was written in that year.

Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…
Percussion by Norm
Lyrics by Rat-Hybrids
It's been tough to keep up lately, hope everyone is well.
Something I was working on as part of a larger project. When it's done I'll link it.
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
oh yes~!! I had my virtual computer set to no sound so I could compose yesterday - now I'm bummed I didn't hear this sooner!! Yowzer you guys are jamming!!!
This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…
yes! this is great - the two of you rock together - and Hurdy Gurdy!! Awesome!! If I may be so bold perhaps a recorder or flute - or best a shawm melody would work.
In Argentina they say "in Argentina everything may change - except the tango", but I couldn't resist adding some percussion to this beautiful nuevo tango by Vincent Voois, composed in the style of Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla.
Check out Vincent…
made during a video record session to get some image work done while mixing sounds, these are like more accidental then anything else mixed on the "spot."
third in the reworkings from july 2008 :) seems i did not get to upload some of even the originals to trax's in space at that time there is a block from my music list that is missing .. guessing i was doing two projects tandom and missed the second…
I feel as though I am on a merry go round that is next to a cage of psychedelic birds at the entrance to a tunnel that hold the flame of Anor. If only I could become liquid like Odo and pass between the birds I might find life on the other side. Then again maybe not.
Thanks to Sister Savage for helping us debut our new project. As busy as she is, Sister managed a bit of time and some great Jovian vox for us.
This piece or art is unique, sublime, and psychedelic.
Lyrics:

2010 Savigear-Reyes-Lennon
As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
I couldn't talk for a while afterwards and I felt like a moron after listening to my vocals, but it had to be done :) So no laffin'!
Our attempt to be on the roof of Abbey Road Studios if only for a moment!
The Lineup:
Guitars: gtalfsen
Piano…
drip by drip..
I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…

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;-)

it's very good!

love it!!
this is great - I can *feel* the rhythm - you got my Polish genes rockin - now that is an accomplishment!!
I love your voice here!
oh yes~!! I had my virtual computer set to no sound so I could compose yesterday - now I'm bummed I didn't hear this sooner!! Yowzer you guys are jamming!!!

this is simply perfect.
cool sounding! you get so much out of your synth!
this is great. has a spiritual feel to it

reminds me of Japanese theater.
truly disturbing. nice.
an odd piece. very strange juxtaposition.
I played then went to a news page where they had the live feed of the Chilean miner rescue. This went together beautifully.
a nice composition - more information or lyrics might improve listener accessibility. Like the acapella ending.
great track!
excellent! I really like this one
wonderful! sounds like Venusian strings!
Enjoyed somewhere in the United States by the entire family! Up loud and rockin!!
this is excellent!!
wow! Tangerine Dream is releasing on Alonetone under a pseudonym! Man this IS Great!!
