Hilarious! Cool that you used home made guitar samples...

quite a unique blend of prog rock and TD-like new-age, something of Stratosfear..

Good One.

Love It!

Beautiful dreamlike sound!

hmm poppy...doesn't pink floyd talk about that alot in their songs?

very nice

so nice percussion

ouch dang! too short! :/

Love that spacey mix - and the great percussion makes a fantastic soundbed for this mystical gem!

Now that's cool... love the hang drums!

I like this... i not sure however what the stringed instrument in the lead is? or supposed to be

Suprise: much shorter than your typical pieces. Not a suprise: Once again, you stretch out to genres 3 clicks beyond the Bell Curve. Is there anything you can't tackle?? Nice work!

wow very well done

Woah, way cool mesh of cultures!

What I find interesting here is the Zurna is Turkish. America buys it's poppy from Turkey. Perhaps the answer to Afgan Economics is for America to buy poppy in Kandanar. Good idea. Thought inspiring piece.

ahahah, this is good! is it desecration or desacralization, though? ;)

Ominous sounds. Dig the sax lines!

Ahh yeah! Sounds like my ideal man - saucy, deep and rich.

What an amazing voice that lady has!! And the way she's able to keep up with the music is quite incredible. ;-) But seriously, very creepy, V., very creepy.

my dad at one time helped with a radio show - if I remember correctly Tilden High School in Chicago had a radio transmitter. This would have come from there. My son traced this back to about 1923. My father tended to bring things home from where he worked, etc. He even brought home, as far as I could tell, the entire Data General railroad traffic controlling computer - vintage early 70's - the programs were loaded via punched paper tapes - when it got replaced. And no, it wasn't used on this piece. Ben has it. But at 1000 Hz he should be able to get it work if he feeds it the right kind of electricity.

I love the floating feel this has.

also - you have an astounding memory!

Ha - this riff is mine? I sure don't remember it - now I feel embarrassed about my comment :-)

excellent! I love the opening guitar riff and cool ending!

Nailed Tom's voice!

Very Tom Waits - love it!

wow your voice sounds so like the Kinks!

love your voice here!

I found my answer "These pieces are recorded live in my home studio. They are made with an electric guitar played through a laptop and a dedicated hardware looper."

What do you have in your ambient rig? I am enjoying your work!

Hi Bethan - I have no idea who played it - but they did an excellent job. The midi file I found somewhere in the 90's.

wow - another side totally! I like the string / piano combination.

Thank you for the comments on Sympathy for a Friend. I didn't use a synthesizer. All of the sound is from one take on my 19 note per octave guitar + effects.

I love that metallic sound!

The cello work is especially good.

nicely done!!

excellent - this is a great song perfectly played and sung!!

enjoyed!!
