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 ....

"Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season)", often abbreviated to "Turn! Turn! Turn!", is a song written by Pete Seeger in the late 1950s. The lyrics were adapted almost entirely from verses in the Book of Ecclesiastes, set to music…
"Tether"
Whatever it was, is wasn't manumission
To spill the blood, to pull the weed
You can bury the past, but it's a mausoleum
With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be
Can we bring it together,
Can we call from the mountain to the valley…

Hi - I enjoyed this composition very much. I would like to mention though that the volume was very low. So much so I have to normalize it to listen reasonably. Do you lack software to do this type of manipulation? (or was this on purpose?) In any event this piece impressed me enough to go through your series of sonatas!
CROSS-OVER POLYRHYTHMS
This is actually a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with **different meters** (i.e., a different numbers of beats/measure) are played at the **same tempo**: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms…
Many nebulae form from the gravitational collapse of gas in the interstellar medium. As the material collapses under its own weight, massive stars may form in the center, and their ultraviolet radiation ionises the surrounding gas, making it visible…
Did the guitar tracks first, followed by bass, then drums and vocals last. I wrote this song in a bookstore, after I came home and recorded it, I realized I made the song too short for all the lyrics.

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.
two recorders and a flute get together in the back of a countryside English church late in the afternoon.....
NOTE --- you may need to turn up the volume a bit for this...

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.

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
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

Rock on!
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.
One of my faves.
Actually, like beautiful, chiming bells!
Hi Chris, Yes, I think it does too. I really like the harmonies or ics. You see, you are far too clever for me. Cheers Bee
Really like the overlapping vox harmonies here. Bass just right too
Nice and relaxing Chris. A pleasure of a listen. Cheers Bee
Wow! That was a trip and a half! marvelously put together. The swishing sound in the background there reminds me of the foetal heart. Cheers Bee
Enjoyed that.
Like it. Don't know the original, but I like this.
Good one Chris.....

I enjoyed playing on this thanks Norm! - no guitars harmed in the improvisation
nice progression
welcome! And excellent track!
Aengus is all Ethno 2.
I love your voice reef. Excellent tune and production - your acoustics sound especially nice.
This is brilliant! Would you consider doing a collaboration sometime?

excellent collab!!
nice work - very rich - listened to it several times.

lovely, touching. A nice song and excellent vocals / lyrics.
Great vocal harmonies!
