I agree Big sounds very powerful music... and lead.. excellent work everyone :)
Chris with that intro to the entrance exam besides not knowing you had put this song/and title out there ... really :) I it was created with novation's supernove midi's outs into the motif rack.. and then just working thru the presets already made on the motif rack with the programed by me presets on the supernova II :) and then out to the korg xl micro.. but this is all power you guys have made here... very nice..
My Whole Life Has Become
I have all of these memories,
that come on back to me.
I don't know to do!
I don't know what I should do with them...
I don't know why they come to me…
In 2006 we visited a Japanese garden. In September of 2009 I wrote this piano piece in 17 ET and I hear a connection between the two. So I put together a video from pictures and video taken of our visit and married the two. Please visit the song…
Untitled Instrumental (A Little Guitar)
As it sounds, two clean, one fuzz guitar.
I did write this with you in mind! It echos some of my earliest
tapes also.

My Whole Life Has Become
I have all of these memories,

I don't know to do!
I don't know what I should do with them...
I don't know why they come to me…
Without a Single Thought in Mind
(time...time...time..)
Without a,
Without a single,
Without a single thought in mind!
And the World holds no Place,
or a Thought.
This World…
Fear In Our World
There's changes in our world
There's changes all the time
And I get to see like you
They all won this time!
There's fear in our world…
All I Can do is Try
Move towards my window,
try to get out.
It will not open,
I got a clue what it's about.
I have it on good authority,
I may not be the best…
Conflict of Spirit
Just a conflict of spirit
Just a conflict of spirit
Just a conflict of spirit
You can't escape yourself
Just a conflict of spirit!
This…
No Escape From This World
There's no escape from this world
People claiming to be peace makers
To soothe the people on the streets
They hide their own lit cards
Annouce its for…
I don't really have that much to say
when I've been at work all day
frustration,
connotation,
all the things that fit inside
I don't understand
how I am to fit in this
big atomic antiracial economic plan
its your life
its your life…

I suck at most electronica genres (like trance - I don't like the 4 on the floor aspect) and I don't think I've given country a serious try yet as well.
Sung By John B - he also does most of the instrumentation. My contribution is simply that I wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and if you listen closely I play the guitar parts. A cross Atlantic collaboration.

comments about…
Well, since I have not used MOTU SI I can't compare but you can since you can hear my Kontakt 4 sample set. Sonar 8.5 was / is a radical upgrade if you write more than classical music. But if one were strictly classical composition minded a better (rational!) program than Sonar to score with would make more sense to invest in than sonar 8.5 . I look forward to hearing what you are working on!
I own the piano score but I found an accurate score as a midi file on the net and started from there. (That saved a 2 or 3 hours at my pace.)
Then I loaded the file into Sonar 8.5 and orchestrated it by assigning instruments to the VSTi called Kontakt 4 and its Vienna Symphony samples. Adjusting velocities / color / and a few notes took 3-4 hours. The most difficult part was creating the final mix which I'm still not 100% happy with.
Hi Richard, there is a contest to make microtonal demo tunes with MOTU. Selection of contestants is over and now we all must make at least 3 microtonal demonstration pieces. The Dance of the Unicorn is in a werckmeister equal beating variant.
this prelude is very nice. the descending register pattern is a nice variation. I see you sneak in the left hand :-)
Wanna go for a ride? Hop on in! (Many thanks to JQScutt for his excellent guitar work!)

Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race…
Took sandbag's [Andromeda 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/andromeda-1) and applied some BigSeq2 and LiveCut.
Added a little FM8 underneath.
And this happy little accident came out.

Love like a salt river washing away
Love's like sunshine evaporate
Love like floating candles blowing away
Watch out for the way you'll compensate
When I've seen all you have to give
When I'm still hungry
I need more than this
Tell me how…
yelyah - “solo piano 20100411” semi live improv
Semi live in that I had an idea of where I wanted to go, but never locked the melody in (as is probably obvious).
Hi Richard - I don't like being bored :-) I also am experimenting with some success with microtonal music as well. Drop by www.notonlymusic.com and www.chrisvaisvil.com some time.
Now.... this is a lovely sensitive piece!

You've got a really great voice, Chris. Lovely tone. (Love the title too!)
Happy Birthday and thanks so much for sharing this amazing musical creation! This is outstanding!
This would be a great soundtrack for a sci-fi film. Very cool, my friend!
Really hypnotic, I like the change up at the 2:02 mark!
Nice one
A bucket full of eerie synths!

Foot tapper for sure.
what fun!,, this is very atmospheric,, like it
This is beautiful.
Playful, cheeky guitars.
Love the bass groove in this one and the transition from the chorus back to the verses - very clever.
Heady stuff, overlapping invention...
Dreamy, electro punk prog. That's you.
Nice grungey rhythm.
Menacing electro, batman!
Nice bluesy undertones.
Liking these heady electro anthems.
Brimming with charm! I want to take the world Put it in my arms Give it a big hug I feel the same about the planet, less so about the world.
Quirky and perky.

This is brilliant! Would you consider doing a collaboration sometime?

excellent collab!!
nice work - very rich - listened to it several times.

lovely, touching. A nice song and excellent vocals / lyrics.
Great vocal harmonies!
