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

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…

a small quiet piece for a Sunday evening,, all four string sections are present here,, violin, viola,cello and contrabass,,it's kind of fun to try to mix, and pass the various themes around,,
Hi Richard, the tuning I used for the Magic of Belief has much more than major or minor and I used almost all of the. The opening plays with the chords CDG, CEbG CEb^G (a "neutral" third about half way between minor and major) and CEG (except the E is a purer 3rd than 12 equal)
The main motive bottoms out at what my ears are telling me is a neutral interval against a D neutral chord (but I'm not 100% sure, I didn't work it out - could be D minor)
A shorter, stripped down version of a drone piece I submitted for the ongoing Fukushima Drones project, which you will find here:

This is an invitation, with instructions, on how any AT musician can hop a train in the US and get to my house for a jam session. Figured the lyrics needed to mention all 3 of the collaborating musicians home towns cuz they all run along these…

What with all the great Zep covers posted by Tworegs and Chris Vaisvil, here's mine, I enlisted the vocal of the man himself, thanks Reg! Also note my new fretless strat as second guitar here.
Thank you for the comments. I don't often comment here anymore but I do want to answer your Rhodes question. I believe Ben uses a Yamaha Motif. The clarinets are real. I'd love to hear your new age version of Stairway - that would be grand!
here is a song from 72, by bread, that I always wanted to make a harder rock version of. an idea I have had since the early 70's. this was one of the rockin' songs by bread who did a lot of mellow love songs. there is something fun about turning…
For a friend who touched my heart
Emotion - 1975
Delicatly, softly,
Not knowing where she wants to be
Confusing, disillusioning,
Not knowing who she wants to be
Pulled from side to side
And inside about to die
She screams, I can't take it…

OOOOh Bethan - the equipment was so bad it picked up Citizen's Band radios that were over-driven beyond the legal limit. Nonetheless. I still had the crush :-)

Awesome sounds there Chris! Luv Bee
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
interesting!
Free flowing musical expression and lots of ideas here, like a deconstructed Let It Be in places.
and Chris i ment YOUR Doing Great,, sometimes my fingers and the keyboard don't quite line up
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
That took me on a ride while folding the washing.....Thanks
Perfect for a Sunday afternoon
Interestingly different from this: http://alonetone.com/fuzzfilth/tracks/ditd
Nice! Sounds like GR20 sax sounds?
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?

ps , lots of nice color to this
really excellent music and arrangement!
*mesmerized*
The combo of the clouds streaming by and your music is quite hypnotic! Thanks for creating and sharing this! - MT

a very intense drone - I like the solo guitar work a lot.
and I love this song!
thanks for the comment.
Awesome! I love your fretless work!
love the sound of your synth here - reminds me lot of the old CS-10 I once had a very long time ago. http://www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/cs10.php

has ORH rubbed off on you?
Thank you for the comments Kavin - I know I'd be happy listening to B read a phone book too! And this piece is simply magical!
I'm at 28+ minutes.... this is awesome!
Beautiful. Gosh I really love what you do with your rig.
don't step on the event horizon!
yeah this is a good song indeed.
15 edo
crazy stuff!
I should mention the echo was a real echoplex... I do miss it.
OOOOh Bethan - the equipment was so bad it picked up Citizen's Band radios that were over-driven beyond the legal limit. Nonetheless. I still had the crush :-)
If by fuzzy wuzzy you mean touching my heart - well I had a crush on Cindy.
it is a vintage 1975 cassette recording with bad equipment - please listen to the spirit, not the reality.
this is great - there is a lot of playing with expectation in this. that is awesome work Bruce!
