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…
Another one rebuilt after my freak SD card initialization fiasco. The excellent solo work was done by my buddy Gnasty - I love it!
This is the second part of a two part song. I'll get the other part up next hopefully.
Badass Solos: Gnasty…
Not to start a George tribute, but here's a cover I did with Facemask93 that I really love. All I did was bass, backing vox and the drum pattern arrangement - I did feel a little like a dope trying to sing along with Rob's amazing voice, but will…
what I did was play two tracks of violin with a viola bow and 1 track of fretless guitar bowed with the viola bow and finger picked with your track. I then noise reduced the takes and sliced them into appropriate loops - with the two styles of playing fretless separate into 4 channels of Sonar's Matrix view. Then I wanted more time so I took your track and reversed it and tacked it onto the end. After that I set up matrix view with the loops and effects into 4 audio channels. (guitar rig, dblue glitch, lexicon reverb, cakewalk amp sim absynth 5 effects and camel space) Some of the clips got effects as well. I then performed matrix view live against your track + reversed track. This left the clips in the audio track - some of those I randomly reversed the audio here and there. Then I mastered and uploaded. One other thing I did to you track was impose a volume envelope and then put a compressor on top - those two things kinda fight it out.

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.

very atmospheric - I like your touch Bruce!
nice trip!
very cool! I've not heard Arabic music a capella before! excellent!
great!!!
thank you for flying united :-)
nice work! I like your voice a lot.
Nice - I like the calm.
funky electro - strange sounds from another dimension - nicely done!!
excellent!
I like the vocals and song writing here. A bit post-Beatlesque
Is this Paul's extreme stretch? Nice work!
hey a George tribute would not be a bad thing! This is great version!! Excellent collaboration!

I liked this quartet a lot - better than No. 4. Melodically it just appealed.
yes! this is great Lalo!
love the effects in here.
excellent - sounds like dreamtime. I love it.
I like your guitar work here - especially past 2:10 - an improvisation?
nope - not heard of robert wyatt - or the music of soft machine for that matter that I can remember.
like the harmony vocals a lot!
