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.

Dulled
What can I tell you?
I hold nothing inside
My brain aches from lack of....

I am shriveling up inside
Having not one thing to express
And my feelings are dulled…

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

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…
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…

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

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!

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!
nice, really nice!
