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…

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

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..
Different recording here as the electric guitar, bass guitar were not plugged in, just recorded raw with a power mic and then EQ'ed to make it sound amped - pardon mistakes!
Nice song - I did finally get around to listening to it :-) So this is literally unplugged hard bodied normally electric instruments - I've never heard of this being done before - awesome idea!!
So after listening to some of Chris Vaisvil's music for mapped midi and such I caught the bug of inspiration and did similar but in my own way. should of included extra things but there was the on the fly idea going.

baby! This is great!! I suggest running the mp3 through Paul's Extreme Stretch too if youu haven't taken a listen. What this reminds me of is some of the odd ends and bits on Beatles albums I always wished was longer. In places it sounds backwards, other places an orchestra tuning up, other places a spaceship. Wow. man I'm floored - you really have a lot, I do mean a lot in two and a half minutes!! Check out Dan Stearns - http://homemademusic.com/daniel_stearns/info_237.php I think you'll like what he is doing.

A song of hope...
and i apologize for the "noise"...I'll try to figure it out.
here are the lyrics.
waiting in the dark
never hearing the words
waiting for the spark
to revive a dying heart
so you think it's your fault
a buried belief…
Reg has never really understood Love.......... not in last 20years since first hearing this song .........it's still all a Mystery to him................
I was listening to Andy Casson's song Old ladies over on Songcrafters and it got Reg thinking........... could this be the last song i ever hear................so Reg went down the cellar to write a one chord song using only the notes that make…
Bob and Reg got together tonight down the cellar and came up with this one dedicated to Desirea......Reg didn’t realise at the time but Desirea had got her hooks into Bob as well during her time down the cellar....but hey, all's well in love and…
a song about hoping for the best for all of us. the ending riff is about angst and disapointment and i use a flange on the ending lead guitar work. the closing of the song inspired me to make another song called locked door to my soul.
performed by Ashley Reynolds
from the album "Sunny, sorta..."
and she opened her eyes
the frailness all gone
but she wasn’t surprised
it was fortold all along
and the healing complete
not a shell anymore
what a magical feat…
this song - purple mountains was iriginally a jam back in 75. chris vaisvil was the guitarist and i always remembered it cause i liked it. he had an echo-plex then and it was pretty psychedelic. no keys were originally in the song but it was a…
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
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?

The combo of the clouds streaming by and your music is quite hypnotic! Thanks for creating and sharing this! - MT

Wonderfully eerie atmosphere well captured Chris. That gong is a real little beasty isn't he! Cheers Bee
Please post the words as well.
Great mood, Chris! Very well done.
Hi Chris,,lovely thoughtful piece,, yes beautiful indeed! you say so much with such (relatively) few notes r
Beautiful!

but here in New Jersey we have tumble-plastic bags doing that..oh this is good stuff.i should film some of the bags getting caught up in the wind.
powerful and pleasant as well.
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..

I was going to listen to your song but then I figured I could to that tomorrow.
the individual samples for propane are stretched (and filtered) but not the composition.
luscious - beautiful I had not heard you until this morning and I'm glad I found your music and spirit.
nice spooky keys at 1:45 ish - very 60's psychedelic feel
well done!
I really this version!!
love it!
I hear a lot of melodies in this one. All of the drums seem to speak to me. Even the clave. Perhaps I'm finally getting it?
This is were its at!! Groovy!!
Is there a connection with Desiree? Who is the real Desiree? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succubus
I feel for Bob - he don't deserve the misery that's coming down the road...
love the deep phaser solo!
great!
shock the monkey!
Beautiful - love the music and video!
heh! It didn't sound this good then!
