The video below is the "official" video for the July concert from which this performance is taken. The larger August concert video…
Legend has it that one day this post will no longer be on the front page of this site. But then it is only legend. It all depends on what you chose believe.
Cool piece Chris, something magical about playing a new instrument. Mandolin is something I would like to try again, the different tuning always trows me off.
I enjoyed this thoroughly, and as for the "guest" and his moronic comment... He has no understanding of that which he is listening. It’s sad when the idiots of the world run around giving their uninformed, unfounded, and just plain stupid opinions - all while maintaining anonymity. Go to hell, guest. Please, go to hell.
Field recording modified by using the entire recording as a template for noise reduction. The remaining sound was surprisingly melodic, and includes birdsong (mourning dove and sparrows most prominent), passing light aircraft, emergency siren…
The coffee table gang helped me round out this one that I shared earlier. I love this version with Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor's wonderful talents on the backup vocals and guitars. I like how my ukulele blended in on this version.
Sometimes…
I got nothing.
Insert some random post-apocalyptic sci-fi narrative here, involving Speak And Spells achieving sentience and taking over the world, only to be thwarted by the Amish.
Alternatively, "Based On A True Story" something something.
Bringing back a song from 2011 with a new twist. The song now has drums, bass, and an orchestral backend. This is hopefully part of a larger collection of me reworking older songs with orchestration.
Many thanks to Brian of A Beautiful Scene…
Waiting for the AotM - well, no, not here, and Mysterium appears to have taken TiS down a rabbit hole. Thanks for the listen and comment. This is a nice smooth track!

Nice take on this!
Oooh I like the slight dissonance! Creates great tension.
Very nice! and intriguing :)
Atmospheric. Lovely chill ambient with cool ebow.
Fat bass sound :)
Groovy track! :) Big sound and cool feel
Loving the glassy tones :) Nice ebow work. Moody. Nice ambient

Chris this is lovely. Commented on SI Fripp lines on top of an almagmation of contrasts or some such.
nice-you have given me some great inspiration
Great piano. wish I could play an instrument like this.
nice guitar work clones. Was that a slide on a reg guitar, or fretless? Echo on vox near end is fitting for this too- cheers!
Love the riff Chris

Whoever this "guest" is, he's a jerk.

nicely done! I like how the reverse guitar becomes a pad - it has shades if Magical Mystery Tour to my ears.
excellent! noise reduction is an excellent technique!
This works well! Great dexterity on the 12 string!
Beautiful Ben!
yes!
Quite like the solo here No doubt the Orange one will litigate until a cheese burger claims him.
Best take on the proceedings I've heard
excellent!
wild ride!
beautiful!
I bet this isn't in 12 equal :-) !!! Nice sound and creative idea!
Texas Instruments wants world domination....
nicely done!
Whoa!
Very unusual piece, and especially for your typical very thick wall of sound collages. Very good, I enjoyed the piece!
Oh, this is so beautiful! The slide is achingly sweet.
This is superb!
This an impressive combination!
I would implore you to not quit. Ultimately don't we all make music for ourselves? Strangely beautiful piece!
