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…

A masculine piece with an oriental flavour. Most interesting and different.

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."

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.

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!

Is that live guitar or keys>? yet another good example of the cool variety of music you create, this almost sound like it could be a prelude to something bigger...
