Chris, this piece is astoundingly good, it has been perfectly entitled! Plays havoc with the imagination. Wonderful stuff! Waiting to hear how you end it ... ah, the eerie fade out!

Disbeliever, an original that I don't think saw public performance.
my brain on my ex - originates from 1996 - details below.
Dulled
What can I tell you?
I hold nothing inside
My brain aches from lack of....
Direction
I am shriveling up inside
Having not one thing to express
And my feelings are dulled…

my dad at one time helped with a radio show - if I remember correctly Tilden High School in Chicago had a radio transmitter. This would have come from there. My son traced this back to about 1923. My father tended to bring things home from where he worked, etc. He even brought home, as far as I could tell, the entire Data General railroad traffic controlling computer - vintage early 70's - the programs were loaded via punched paper tapes - when it got replaced. And no, it wasn't used on this piece. Ben has it. But at 1000 Hz he should be able to get it work if he feeds it the right kind of electricity.
This is a remix of an improvised track I did for our first RPM album. For this new mix, I got rid of the vocals & added a most excellent electric guitar part by our good friend, Chris Mitchell. He listened to the track just once and proceeded…

I KNOW HOW LOVE CAN FEEL(Lyrics)
I know how love can feel
I know that love can heal
i know i kneel before you
i know it can burn you, destroy you
i know how love can…
Thank you for the comments on Sympathy for a Friend. I didn't use a synthesizer. All of the sound is from one take on my 19 note per octave guitar + effects.
Sort of a Tuesday improv...
Built up around a synth texture that I built up with:
Operator->FilterStation->Volcano->Kombinat->Panstation->RP-Delay
(what's the fun in having plugins if you can't abuse them)
Heres a collab with Wildgeas Music a beautiful bit of music hope i did it justice with the vocal............
Tomorrow (Lyrics)
I know the curse of the darkness is coming
those dark nights that will feed upon my soul
with no forward glance of tomorrow…
So after hearing some of Stephen Krell's outstanding picking, I asked him if he'd like to play along with any of my songs... I can't be happier with the one he picked to add his banjo to (seeing as how the song is written about my favorite Pete…

A sort of a sitar/bagpipe duet. I looked it up, what a strange instrument but this composition is perfect for it. You do astound me Chris! Bee
Chris, this piece is astoundingly good, it has been perfectly entitled! Plays havoc with the imagination. Wonderful stuff! Waiting to hear how you end it ... ah, the eerie fade out! Bee
we all do
Really cool! Your range of musical expression is amazing!
That is a Speedy version of paranoid ....great job on all three....more ...more
Ooh yeah my lady......
Speed Rockers Traveling in time .....Good stuff....that's some pumping bass and Moe is no slouch on the drums....and guitar and vocal sounds great Chris..loving it......I'm in for the 20 minute ride......Oooh yeah!!!
Most unusual, well played too. Bethan
Sounds lovely Chris. Beautifully composed picture too. Bee
Did John play this? Excellent work!
Perfect for a Sat' afternoon, after the grocery rush. "A national Acrobat" kicks ass!
great track and subject matter is something I can relate to. I am assuming your situation has improved.
I love this song. Amazing track.. strong vox in this. POWER
great tune, fine collab gents!
suspenceful i must say nice job
Nice track, Vaisvil. It feels like two competing ideas that drift back and forth between uneasy and dreamy.
Very nice. Sounds like the music track for a Chaplin or Keaton silent movie.
Beautiful .....
Well played.
Very tasty track. I like!

I love the floating feel this has.
also - you have an astounding memory!
Ha - this riff is mine? I sure don't remember it - now I feel embarrassed about my comment :-)
excellent! I love the opening guitar riff and cool ending!
Nailed Tom's voice!
Very Tom Waits - love it!
wow your voice sounds so like the Kinks!
love your voice here!
May I invite you to participate at ImprovFriday? You may have some fun! http://improvfriday.com/

What do you have in your ambient rig? I am enjoying your work!
Hi Bethan - I have no idea who played it - but they did an excellent job. The midi file I found somewhere in the 90's.
wow - another side totally! I like the string / piano combination.

I love that metallic sound!
The cello work is especially good.
nicely done!!
