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.

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

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!

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?

Hi Chris,,lovely thoughtful piece,, yes beautiful indeed! you say so much with such (relatively) few notes r
Beautiful!
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
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..

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