Ilmenau Over All the Treetops is an adaptation of Ives’s setting of Goethe’s poem dated 1902. The accompaniment is a combination of bassoon, english theorbo and psaltery. This is a fortuitous tape recording from Reg's obscure neo-classical period…
Nice tease with the conversations...i feel like a secret agent in the van waiting for that illicit speech...while tripping on the laced coffee i bought at Costa's...the waves of sound are getting stronger.....it's getting closer...i know it is.... 13.50 and counting...over halfway and the anticipation
grows....where is she? ....that voice we love to hear...... 16.20 and the heart beat increases.......the breathing is labored the anticipation intense.... the waiting ....the waiting....it's near 18.11 ...a numbness...the wait carry's on..... now i know what you've done....you Bugger!!
The audio in the video video is a selected annotated collection of Electric Aeolian Harp recordings taken over a consecutive 36 hour period. During that time the environment changed (wind, rain, sleet, snow) and I changed the tuning of the harp…
The poem is by Jason Kirk Bartley
This is in 19 edo and I play drums using a Simmons SMDP1 drum pad. The quality of poem is a lot higher than my music which is kind of an odd psychedelic blues not usually associated with the subject.
psychedelic for sure,,, this evokes some interesting images,,, listening to this which is great,, i would also guess you are a big doors fan, they blended such themes musically

a 13 minute improvisation I played on a newly tuned Steinway grand piano at my Church. The only audience was my Zoom H2 – which is probably good since there are a few glaring “misses” in the performance. I love the joy of just playing but it does…

the second theme at about 1:40 is lovely, and i like the way it changes at about 3:10 or so, sort of climbing out into a different plain,, very pretty riffs in the 5 min and on, i like it when you break away from the cord structure to individual keys/notes,,,, at times through this i can hear the slight pauses where it seems like your thinking/planing what direction to take,, OUR DOING GREAT! it's a fun musical journey and im happy to be along... you have a lot of really nice small themes in this,, excellent! oh and by the way for many years i played on a churches concert steinway,, loved it, especially because most churches have such a lovely sound scape to make music in , not to mention the also wonderful light that typically filters in,, ah a small bit of heaven (guess that makes sense though) well anyway excellent Chris
Another recent song somehow not posted to AT (?) cleaning house this weekend.
Had the privilege of playing around with a cello in the house.
Dont know how to play the damn thing but too fun not adding it in the mix
Working through a barrage of songs over two different computers. thought I posted this already but its not on AT. (?)
A little re-tooling on this one today as well.
Enjoy- Reef
First one for a long time thanks for listening .... thought i'd try playing everything...still got to work on that bass and drums

The pages of the book were leaking into the dream

Completed RPM 17. this is the last track!!. the album is my first run through with logic pro ( dumping pro tools and the monthly subscription fee)
I feel great playing again.. been so long…
I wrote this song about 2 years ago and shared it here on Alonetone back then. I decided to do a studio recording of it recently. With the help of the team at F5 Soundhouse here in Minneapolis we've created this updated version. I hope you enjoy…
Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too

I decided to keep working on this one a bit on the "keep messing with it" program.... added some backing vocals and some piano.... kind of like where its heading after the one take wonder before... Any other suggestions are very welcome…

Putting my own stank on a cover from another mother. Jeff is brilliant and so is Stevie Wonder who wrote and George Martin who produced Jeff's Grammy winning version. What Greatness!

I'm fascinated currently with alter'd tunings and I don't mean the altered open guitar tunings used in a lot of acoustic folk, celtic and instrumental guitar which I have done and they are all great and inspiring. I'm speaking of the alter'd…

Free flowing musical expression and lots of ideas here, like a deconstructed Let It Be in places.

man you sound like Gilmore on this! Voice and guitar!
Ha!
nice that you are doing it all - you've grown alot in musicianship over the years!
this is so touching...
There is something very vital here. I really like it.
Zeppelin III had a lot of special songs and this was one of them - excellent choice and execution!
Great!
This is wonderful!
Love - indeed too long!
This as well is wonderful too!
This is certainly one of the best I've heard by an internet artist, period. Superb writing and performance.
Lovely song and performance!
Beautiful piece!
look on youtube for this Thomas Dolby - The Devil Is An Englishman
that is some great guitar and vocal! Love the harmonica too!
I agree with fairynuff! And thanks for the comments!
