A field recording of an improvisation on a baby grand incongruously placed between an entrance and coffee hut via my phone. My good friend Jim Goodin converted the AIFF I emailed him and he posted it for me. Thanks Jim!
Really pretty Chris. I agree with Richard, discord is something I find uncomfortable, but hey here it works. I was sorry when it ended, so here goes again. Cheers Bee
wow Chris,, sometimes i feel like we live in such different lands.....this is really nice,, it grates on me,, but then again i suppose it's supposed too? your use of dissadense (sorry i cant spell)is intreaging (again i can't spell),, tell me are there minor and majors in this type of tuning? there's something in this that says major key, it has a brightness that i associate with major,,, regardless of the dissadance.. anyhow nice r
No offense..... In Fact, John would've said, I don't give a s**t, you are playing one of songs ..... I think!?!?! 'till the money men get's involved ....
this is a collaboration with my old guitarist chris vaisvil with whom we are celebrating being in our first band 40 yrs ago.
chris does the 12 string guitar and the lead guitar at the end. i am doing the bass, keys, drums and vox. i wrote the…
An exercise in dissecting a well known song to see what makes it tick. Drums are looped, bass is not in tune, guitar is not quite right, but I'm slowly getting there. Will update this later. Somewhen...
I was passing by a darkened church this evening, as the wind danced through the trees, looking though the a window, i noticed a single candle lit, flickering on the alter step, casting a shadow within.. as i pressed an ear to the dusty glass…

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:

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!
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
That's really rather effective. Not easy-listening, but moving.
Excellent Chris....
You can play while I cook too......
a hah! a piano ......I must play....I must.........and you do it so well.....Coffee?
In memory of poor old Lou.........
Ohhh Wowww! Chris that's wonderful. I think I will have to come and stay. You can play while I cook! Cheers Bee
That must be the big one! Very depthy! I like the contrasting tinkling chimes, lovely. Cheers Bethan
Celestrial. Very respectable for an improv. I'm not generally into brass, but you made it work for me here.
The piano is obviously out of tune, but somehow your arranged notes upon it really works for me -- too groovy. Great composition, great job. Rock on!
it is quite grand and majestically poignant - I think it is the tone or tuneless like workings that cause the sadness...
fair play then mate, its a decent tune all the same :)
True, but doing that is hard without practicing in the new key a bit. This was more for the fun of it.
its a good song, i like the lyrics. It sounds like singing in a lower octave would have done you a few favours tho

Love this song!
I've heard many covers of this one but never on piano, this is lovely. Well done.
I've always loved this song - not sure why, though... I don't actually really "like" it! lol This is a fine version. Nice one.

Thanks Brett - I'm just being a session man here - Frank is seriously rocking this out!
nicely done - you should get Reg to sing on your version.
Hi Richard, not a webcam - that was Stonehedge at winter solstice. Nice piece here!
Nice, though the mix gets a bit muddy for the effects flying all over. +100 for covering this.
Now to return the favor - thanks for listening and commenting.
Hi - the poem is here http://chrisvaisvil.com/i-live-by-the-cemetery-ambient-in-17-edo-harmonic-series-polytuned/
gosh this is like music from the other side of the veil of the multi-universe!
I'm up for a collaboration. Perhaps I can play my long string harp which you can manipulate and videoize.
True, but doing that is hard without practicing in the new key a bit. This was more for the fun of it.
Can I make a request - The Wizard by Sabbath?
nice job on this!
Lovely orchestral piece!
This is a beautiful piece!!

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
