Well, I play this in Fokker 7-limit Just Intonation on the piano and I didn't attempt to try to sing as high as Robert. So that makes the vocals hard to nail right there. And I played it over many times the past 3 days and my voice got worn out…
i wouldn't say murdered maybe a little beaten up though ....i love that piano work this is the first time I've ever heard it on the piano and it sounds great.....

You have interpreted the poem perfectly Chris. The poignant strings, military drum rolls and booming explosions set the scene most sympathetically. It's rather haunting! Lovely job indeed.

Chris and Bethan - Spellbinding collaboration... Dramatic, exciting, and beautifully performed. Love the reverse vocals at the end - sounds French! Super cool.

Crumbs Chris, that's incredible. Sounds really good, the music is superb, very nightmarish but dreamy too. Yeah, most impressed.
@Jane, Trev and Kavin, thank you, we had a great time.
I've been going to a lot of performance poetry nights recently, and this is amazing, Bethan. You'd go down a storm at my local Art House! Great collab :)
Norm set me these drums for Dancing on my own a while back but Reg went and dumped the file so we couldn't use them. So i'm using them now, while Reg gets Gone.........Thanks Norm
Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
Reg has this recurring dream of his fantasy women but she is always out of reach...........Thanks to Tess for letting me play with her tune.

ohhh I didn't see you had uploaded this! To answer your question - it was a Yamaha - can't remember the model - it had 3 pedals - I agree about the low end but the high end was really weak in my opinion.
Added a little more to this nice little change of strumming patterns played as an excuse to write a little love song.

You know I need you more than I

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
Lyrics:
======
I hate you when you breathe. Could you stop?
Waking up is hard to do when sleep never comes
But your ugly faces woke me up...
Callous sycophants
I know you too well to rest again
I'll stay up forever. I'll be ready

well done..
Good stuff
Compelling interpretation of a powerful poem. Great job, guys! Tess
Great track, Vaisvil. Strong sounds, well constructed... evocative without having to do too much.

Brilliant, yawl. I swear I could be happy listening to B read a phone book.
like it good mood
Just realized I really like this song, but rarely hear it. You may have topped the original.
Definitely sounds like an Indian influence here. Nice work Chris. I like the tone too, sounds like a really good guitar. Bethan
Really nice! I gotta get me an old electric and pull the frets off sometime!
Not what I was expecting at all but they are there, on the end.I think you are getting good at this Chris. Yes, very clever. Cheers Bee

this is a great combination!!
interesting piece!
rockin' Reg and Norm - nice collaboration. Good combination if instruments.
loving the harp. this was a good choice!
I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
Nice work - a good combination.
wow! this harp work sounds great!!! Unfortunately the guitar pictured isn't the one in the recording (we'll get to that tomorrow)
You made it into a classical piece - I love that. Great work Richard!
ohhh I didn't see you had uploaded this! To answer your question - it was a Yamaha - can't remember the model - it had 3 pedals - I agree about the low end but the high end was really weak in my opinion.
the scope of this is totally impressive
one of my favorite songs - done really well!
Beautiful Richard!!
this is an excellent song!
finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
This is cool! You made the google guitar sound like its going through a *huge* stack.
wow. very powerful words and music.
this is excellent - and unique!
lovely Richard! Sounds light music for a candle light dinner.
thank you for the listen and comment on my seagull improv.
Reg - he did do something like that one day - and yes it was great!
