Angelos Quetzacoatl composed this piece and then we performed it on video for your enjoyment during a recent visit. Angelos plays fretless guitar and I play fretless bass in 24 edo (quartertones).
score is here: http://chrisvaisvil.com/?p=1959
My kids no nail jelly to the wall... I'm sure Of it when I'm try to scrub it off. .. Love the vocal kinda got a touch of early Grace slick about it sand the guitar sounds great very psychedelic
Pretty cool.
You know, I can only guess...
It sure has a twangy resonance, though.
Well, also, I saw some stuff on Sonic Youth where they were talking about designing tunes around one crappy instrument, because it was the only way they could get it to play.
Just sayin'. But, you know I like stuff like this. Like listening to fan overtones, it seems like. Pretty neat.
an impression for processed sound, brass and percussion in adaptive just intonation is a piece inspired by the first successful test of a large scale stellarator fusion reactor. Click on the graphic for more information. NOTE: this piece has a…
Runway Lights (in 128) was the solo I performed at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem North Carolina on the 26th of September 2015. The recording you hear is from the University mics. The title is actually a misnomer – a mistake on my…
Second movment,, perhaps a little rough,, comments welcome,,, 6/11 Third mov is now done,,, and very very different from the first two,, scares me a little
did a remix of latest B-52s (ex B-52's) song "Funplex". i admit i didn't really take the time to polish this, so it might have some flaws here and there, but it was fun to do and after all, is this not what matters most? :)
and you can…
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…

Well, I make no claim to the authenticity of Ethno 2 samples - though assuming they are top notch is probably a safe bet. I just released a revised version to my private mailing list and here are the instruments:
This piece is a quasi-middle eastern section using the celtic 12, E, and D guitars and the lead Electric Bouzouki plus acoustic bass in Zurna tuning and the percussion includes Timbales, gong, Bendir, Daires, Darbuka, Tamborin, and Sistres.
Backyard Ghost sent me something to work on...i added my own touch and arranged it...i sent it to him and he added another of his touches and rearranged it and You've Had My Tears is the end result...we both love this collaboration...expect more…
Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…

This is one of my first alonetone collaborations written by Louis Smit.
Everyone should go listen to some of his tunes. Louis is a very original
and talented folk style acoustic guitarist- singer - songwriter.
You can hear him here.

This is a special request by Sister.
It's kinda sloppy. Frankly, because I suck at it :)
I'm not much of a cover musician but I gave it hell.
It's mostly analog. MIDI drums, DB33 organ patch,
strat leads, and Ibanez chords, Dean bass…

That's some heavy-duty office intrigue. Dig the backwards guitar.
Charming use of spoken word, very nice
It's a WOW tune. Cool shit.
We thank you Reg!

We thank you Brett Warren!
K, I'm gonna comment on this twice. This is like straight outta prog-era Eno.
Holy crap, this is the weirdest thing I've heard in a long time. Bravo, sir.
Great
Sad News.....
I can see this being sampled but i do like it for what it is as well.
Liking this work as it is more different then anything I have heard you do.. a pleasantry indeed.

this is beautiful and moving. I wish I could play piano this well. Awesome work Richard!
Rockin!!
nice piece - good progression - does sound western
this is so expressive, especially once the piano comes in.
if you wish for me to take down my re-mix of your piece let me know.
excellent!! I really like this collab! The voice perhaps could be a touch louder other than that this is excellent!
wow. You have captured what St. Casimir cemetery sounds like at 4 am on a spooky fall night...
Man alive!! this is astounding!! what a trip!
As for the song icon for Don't Look Down - a friend made it for me and I am not sure what he used. Subway is a good bet.

this is wonderfully sad and mysterious!
beyond just excellent! This is a trip through space to another place, time, and existence! I can't say enough!
Excellent!!
Excellent sounds and I keep wanting to hear more of her :-) I especially like the percussion.
Beautiful!! In composition and execution.
Nice tune - so this is a cover?
Nice tune - like the production
nice an heavy!
entrancing! Not at all what I expected with "march" in the name - much more subtle and smooth - I enjoyed this one very much!
Awesome!!! This is so perfect!
