Hi again,,, i hope you realize that i used simple as a complement,,,many of the best compositions (Bach aside) are based on extremely simple motifs, and then explored (Beethoven comes to mind) that piece was simple,, and at the same time beautiful and interesting (not always true of simple stuff) the gift is to be able to be simple and yet still be sublime, or interesting, or dramatic, or any number of cool things at the same time,,, you have that gift,, often and over and over i hear such cool stuff coming out of your music,,, for me being able to be simple and yet wonderful at the same time is about the highest achievement a musician can be,, ,, anyway i enjoy you music very much Richard

Electrifying 4 way collab. Real cool. Great mix GMO.

Yeah! very nice.

This one hasn't played for me in days. I keep trying though. Insanity I guess.

this piece is just getting better and better, each time i listen - must have been quite an interesting talk you had with the big guy..

I've always found that talking to God involves much more listening then talking. And listening to this is a pleasure, as my ear matures to appreciate micro-tonal work. And, I suspect, you will miss the view from the undisclosed location.

nice Chris,,, drifting quietly through a simple theme can be a lot of fun yes?? i enjoyed this (and simple is a complement, from my stand point, it's always what i try to aspire to) well done R

Awesome.

very beautiful

funkadelic! awesome!!

Breathe in.... and hold! Very cool.

excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great sound/balance/instrumentation .. this could easily be a movie track,,, should you be so inclined very smooth and professional (which comes as no surprise) well done

nice quartet collab, - nice mix GMO. funky feel too

sooooo kool funky as shiat! A littttle bit clustered at times but doope

Ahem. It's a "Quartet in Space" only because actually physically putting these 5 guys in the same room would simply not be safe, but you can be certain it would sound fantastic.

You + a self-modified fretless guitar + a universe of microtonal possibilities = we’re never going to get you off of that thing! Brilliant! Bold move! I can’t wait to hear some more of this.

Very cool stuff! Now I can't decide if I should have another go at the fretless or just give up and sell it!

all it"s "missing" is the brass section eh! :p so you managed to microtune it with couple hours, nice job! - oh and is there any genre you're not versed into?

The first? Great stuff, go for it. Sounds like the score to a street cop movie.

You're right, funky is the word! Really clever, makes me smile.

Hi Richard, the tuning I used for the Magic of Belief has much more than major or minor and I used almost all of the. The opening plays with the chords CDG, CEbG CEb^G (a "neutral" third about half way between minor and major) and CEG (except the E is a purer 3rd than 12 equal) The main motive bottoms out at what my ears are telling me is a neutral interval against a D neutral chord (but I'm not 100% sure, I didn't work it out - could be D minor)

a very intense drone - I like the solo guitar work a lot.

and I love this song!

thanks for the comment.

Awesome! I love your fretless work!

love the sound of your synth here - reminds me lot of the old CS-10 I once had a very long time ago. http://www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/cs10.php

Thank you for the comments. I don't often comment here anymore but I do want to answer your Rhodes question. I believe Ben uses a Yamaha Motif. The clarinets are real. I'd love to hear your new age version of Stairway - that would be grand!

has ORH rubbed off on you?

Thank you for the comments Kavin - I know I'd be happy listening to B read a phone book too! And this piece is simply magical!

I'm at 28+ minutes.... this is awesome!

Beautiful. Gosh I really love what you do with your rig.

don't step on the event horizon!

yeah this is a good song indeed.

15 edo

crazy stuff!

I should mention the echo was a real echoplex... I do miss it.

OOOOh Bethan - the equipment was so bad it picked up Citizen's Band radios that were over-driven beyond the legal limit. Nonetheless. I still had the crush :-)

If by fuzzy wuzzy you mean touching my heart - well I had a crush on Cindy.

it is a vintage 1975 cassette recording with bad equipment - please listen to the spirit, not the reality.

this is great - there is a lot of playing with expectation in this. that is awesome work Bruce!
