"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…

Poetry, a Cubist’s View is a “mash” of Benjamin Smith’s Ben.improv.Jul.16.2013 on electric piano and a combination of Paul Mimlitsch’s bass clarinet and soprano clarinet improvisations: “71913bcimpx1?, “71913scimpx1?, and “71913scimpx2?. I added…
Full and exciting Chris. I thought it would be marvellous as a soundtrack for a film of the book Animal Farm. Not what you intended I'm sure! Cheers Bee

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…
Nobody can follow Plant, especially on this one, so why even try? I ought to dare my local classic rock station to play this version and tell them I'll stop listening if they won't do it. Heh heh. That'll fix 'em, won't it?
I dig the improv at the end; it makes me think that perhaps I should do my own "New Age" style cover of Stairway. Hmmm.

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.....
Neither of us realized this is a Van De Graaf Generator song - I received the lyrics through an old friend of mine who passed away a few years ago. His book of poetry by Peter Hammill was one of his favorite possessions and he hand wrote out the…

Certainly is stirring stuff, unnerving and thought provoking. I really love your music Chris it's like it's stalking, ready to pounce - like a cat. Cheers Bee

Reg has just gotta get on gone, he wants to move out from his old lady's into reg's place where it's happening, what with Elvis in the cellar and his visiting friends jammin all night, Reg is almost living there anyway. So now he has decided to…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

nope - those are chinese gongs - some just have natural phasing - I don't know how that works but there it is. Also, according to the gong samples I have you can get a large number of different sounds depending how they are struck. Heck, I forgot, Norm has a gong - a pretty big one too - I bet he could make you some custom gong samples if you'd like.
I did this in order to stretch it out about 20 times as long as it is and did just that but or should I say because I used a very low sample size for the sound I would get something similar to echo stretches just like a 2k size of sample in paulstretch…

RPM 2011 number 2. Inspired by an ex-friend of mine who had the most dazzling rose tinted glasses. Always used to envy the simplicity of his view and how nothing could ever get to him (everything gets to me).. since i knew him I know a lot of…
Outland (The Ballad of Jarrod X)
words and music by VIVIAN CIRCLE
Mother, why did you lie to me?
I didn't have to make the same mistakes as you.
Father, why did you run away?
There was so many things left unspoken with you.
Jarrod walks…
Chris sent me this great tune playing his 17 ET guitar and fretless bass, and for some reason i thought Mafia instantly. Sammy the Bull was the under-boss to John Gotti back in the 80's and 90's and he turned informer to bring John Gotti down…

Like it. Don't know the original, but I like this.
Good one Chris.....
Nice ......now here comes the rain
Beautiful
and these types of music, can resolve sometimes easier then at first thought, well done here.
Good one.
Awe, that's lovely Chris! Good title! Bethan
Woo!! brave man taking this on with just acoustic and vocal. Hats off to you, sir. Nice one, like it.
I like your vocal Chris don't be so hard on yourself....ienjoyed.....
Full and exciting Chris. I thought it would be marvellous as a soundtrack for a film of the book Animal Farm. Not what you intended I'm sure! Cheers Bee
I heard this on the radio just the other day. ;) Sorry, I jest. Nice piano tone. Is it a real Rhodes or synthesized?
Nobody can follow Plant, especially on this one, so why even try? I ought to dare my local classic rock station to play this version and tell them I'll stop listening if they won't do it. Heh heh. That'll fix 'em, won't it? I dig the improv at the end; it makes me think that perhaps I should do my own "New Age" style cover of Stairway. Hmmm.
that's rather nice vais, a bubble & squeak of free jazz
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.....
Excellent!!
Interesting piece
Certainly is stirring stuff, unnerving and thought provoking. I really love your music Chris it's like it's stalking, ready to pounce - like a cat. Cheers Bee

Good stuff
Compelling interpretation of a powerful poem. Great job, guys! Tess

great!! How do you get your voice like that?
this is lovely contemplative and serene.
My Debbie is very picky and loves this piece! She says "its sounds very pretty!"
this is lovely - sounds Anthony Phillips

this one is less defined some how
ooo 0:16 - like the electric guitar feedback sound! you are getting a lot of great textures!
some Janis Joplin or Joe Cocker vocals would really finish this one off!
the video gives the impression of galactic nebula super imposed on visceral human organic residues - this is a really unique video Bill.
much more effective with the video and stretch! this looks so cool!!
I love The Lamb - this is great!
love the slide!
great campfire tune!
what is that opening lead instrument? it is so strong! I love your vocals.
it is such a sad sounding piece.
nice easy listening piece - very rich!
who cannot love a track with a name like this? Awesome mind-messing tremolo.
damn you sound like Joe Cocker now! This is great all the way around. - Been behind - I had not heard the original - or I don't remember it
I use pianoteq mostly. Your piece is very beautiful.
indeed - you brought this baby to life!! Bravo Reg!
