As you know, I love this piece. It is so rich and complicated, that it is mind-blowing. And while I am not certain this is the final mix for this (it really should all be acoustic, shouldn't it?)it is so delicate and intricate from a metric point of view that we (by "we" I mean all of us who hope to be involved in the final version of this)will need to spend some time together in advance to decide exactly how to tap our feet to this.
Love it.

Using my DIY 23 edo guitar, DIY electric cello, and DIY electric psaltery I recorded the wind playing these instruments after they were tuned in just intonation or harmonic series relationships. Adding to the harmonic series nature of this composition…

Bethan Mathis recites a poem I wrote some time ago inspired by late nights working and driving home past a cemetery that always had foggy apparitions in the 4 am winter air. I am very much indebted to Bethan’s dedication to our poetry project…

it was the panda one that was just backwash from the 2010 days just before I joined alondtone.. I had to check to see If the songs were uploaded from back then.. This is so nice this piece
The March of the Blown Tumbleweeds
featuring J.C. Combs' scored percussion
Layton's Guitar
Kavin's Guitar
Mimlitsch's Bass Clarinet x2
liberties taken by me
this is a 15 minute excerpt of my first successful aeolian harp experiment. As you can see from the picture I strung 50 pound fishing line from my deck to my fence. I used piezo pickups clamped to the end of the lines to capture the sound. The…
that was shorter then I am used to.. seemed like ten minutes but I guess if it says 15:22 then that is how long its, I really like this kind of music..

My final comp project of the year!
This is the first movement of my violin sonata. ("Concision" is the second movement).
I incorporated some metal and dubstep elements. It really gets going after 1:30.
Another week of classes and onto…
Another full band cover of an acoustic Kurt song. Apologies to KC for the guesswork.
LYRICS:
One less side of me
Wonder how I breathe
I know that I need
Just because
you want my seed
Seems to me that harvest’s overgrown

a bit of doodling turned into this .....
The clock strikes midnight and Jennys heading home
Peter, makes do with bus and he sits there on his alone
He’s Watching the streets fill with people as the the raindrops form to the glass

It has long been the role of the troubadour to challenge and lampoon Authority through music. This is one such piece, written following a speech by the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in which he spoke of African slaves…
Shout out to Tom Waits, one of my favs. Rumor has it, he has had a similar problem with his piano.
I didnt think I would make it signing this way to the end of the song, lol.
Throat lozenge anyone??
I like your froggy throat! Reminds me of an iron chef where the main course was lobster and one chef took to dunking his live, huge, 30 year old, lobsters into a cask of sake or something alcoholic. You need a similar cask for your Gibson. To answer your question - glass slide.
A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar.
Any Landing
Learning…
Old Age is a bitch.....
As this game of truth, slowly fills up with lies
As the happy ever after gets more and more disguised
The inner truth will pull the mind closed tight
As we introduced ourselves to the end of the night
Somedays…
Just another obscure saint. Not much known about him. Probably much more important and significant than any of us will ever realize.
Oh, yeah, and then there is Saint Simon. Same thing for him.
RIP Alex.
3 Congas, Vintage Bass Cocktail…
From December 2017, my take on an old classic, with a little twist of a bonus number near the end. It may be the first tune I did in 6/8 time, at least that anyone has heard from me. This (sort of) should have a rolling highlands sound to it…

Lovely sounds!
Neat project and awesome sounds!
Almost the song should have a Bach invention playing counterpoint in key,..at least I can here something like that,..over all most astounding ,..
Nice! I dig the video too... it has a nice relaxed somber feel to it
thanks for reminding me,,, very nice Chris,,,looks like a web cam shot from today,, is it such?

Beautiful!

love this!
excellent!
such clean playing!~
some original music here!
A beautifully crafted song.
Someone needs to take the Dr's prescription pad from him. I think Gobbels would appreciate this bold rewriting of history. Its sweep is asphyxiating
Yes!

This is really great!
Nice work!

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
oh I mean this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZQxH_8raCI
It has shades of Paul Revere and the Raider's Spirit in the Sky mixed in what has to be the most rocking version I've heard!
very beautiful vocal, production. Very sweet sound!
Nice work!
beautiful!
