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 :)
For a friend who touched my heart
Emotion - 1975
Delicatly, softly,
Not knowing where she wants to be
Confusing, disillusioning,
Not knowing who she wants to be
Pulled from side to side
And inside about to die
She screams, I can't take it…

OOOOh Bethan - the equipment was so bad it picked up Citizen's Band radios that were over-driven beyond the legal limit. Nonetheless. I still had the crush :-)

trancing song. are there birds? so many birds out here with the windows open, hard to say. Yes, definitely a sense of bird song in the track too. :) love it Chris
Second movment,, perhaps a little rough,, comments welcome,,, 6/11 Third mov is now done,,, and very very different from the first two,, scares me a little
did a remix of latest B-52s (ex B-52's) song "Funplex". i admit i didn't really take the time to polish this, so it might have some flaws here and there, but it was fun to do and after all, is this not what matters most? :)
and you can…
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
Piano Sonata One -- the Mexican Sonata
1st movment here
2nd finished -- but waiting its turn
3rd in concept form (much to think about)

Well, I make no claim to the authenticity of Ethno 2 samples - though assuming they are top notch is probably a safe bet. I just released a revised version to my private mailing list and here are the instruments:
This piece is a quasi-middle eastern section using the celtic 12, E, and D guitars and the lead Electric Bouzouki plus acoustic bass in Zurna tuning and the percussion includes Timbales, gong, Bendir, Daires, Darbuka, Tamborin, and Sistres.
Backyard Ghost sent me something to work on...i added my own touch and arranged it...i sent it to him and he added another of his touches and rearranged it and You've Had My Tears is the end result...we both love this collaboration...expect more…
Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…

This is one of my first alonetone collaborations written by Louis Smit.
Everyone should go listen to some of his tunes. Louis is a very original
and talented folk style acoustic guitarist- singer - songwriter.
You can hear him here.

This is a special request by Sister.
It's kinda sloppy. Frankly, because I suck at it :)
I'm not much of a cover musician but I gave it hell.
It's mostly analog. MIDI drums, DB33 organ patch,
strat leads, and Ibanez chords, Dean bass…
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
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

Beautiful art work, by the way! Cheers Bethan

Nice to hear you back Bethan.....Excellent phrasing.....great job on the soundscape Chris......
Wonderful. Good job, Bethan and Chris!
Rockingly super sonic sounding. Well, I was thinking sounds great to me. Bethan

I should mention the echo was a real echoplex... I do miss it.
OOOOh Bethan - the equipment was so bad it picked up Citizen's Band radios that were over-driven beyond the legal limit. Nonetheless. I still had the crush :-)
If by fuzzy wuzzy you mean touching my heart - well I had a crush on Cindy.
Sound advice! I hope she found happiness, and in a world with not a lot of it, I hope she was lucky. I wonder why "Fuzzy wuzzy" Nice one Chris! Bethan
it is a vintage 1975 cassette recording with bad equipment - please listen to the spirit, not the reality.
Like fresh,spring water! Chris this piece is absolutely gorgeous! I would buy it! Bee

this is beautiful and moving. I wish I could play piano this well. Awesome work Richard!
Rockin!!
nice piece - good progression - does sound western
this is so expressive, especially once the piano comes in.
if you wish for me to take down my re-mix of your piece let me know.
excellent!! I really like this collab! The voice perhaps could be a touch louder other than that this is excellent!
wow. You have captured what St. Casimir cemetery sounds like at 4 am on a spooky fall night...
Man alive!! this is astounding!! what a trip!
As for the song icon for Don't Look Down - a friend made it for me and I am not sure what he used. Subway is a good bet.

this is wonderfully sad and mysterious!
beyond just excellent! This is a trip through space to another place, time, and existence! I can't say enough!
Excellent!!
Excellent sounds and I keep wanting to hear more of her :-) I especially like the percussion.
Beautiful!! In composition and execution.
Nice tune - so this is a cover?
Nice tune - like the production
nice an heavy!
entrancing! Not at all what I expected with "march" in the name - much more subtle and smooth - I enjoyed this one very much!
Awesome!!! This is so perfect!
