apologies to pink floyd
back when I could access usenet still I made a newsgroup for amateur musicians and there was a nice group of 20-30 people who contributed and listened to each other's work. There was a woman named Emma who did a killer…
actually this is early 76. prob about late may. i recall cause we just got steve in the band, and already he was talking to mohsen about kicking me out of the band. go figure!
Now there just has be a story behind this?......excellent ominous soundscape...that wasn't Norm trying to get through was it? He hasn't met up with Desirea has he?
heady, I always enjoy finding the little hidden treasures in ambient soundscapes. This is good, very sharp and alive, and taps into those far recesses of the mind.
Yeah, I should have said, "Gong" earlier! Shows what a nit I am.
I like this, it sounds really pretty with the guitar and percussion too. That gong is magnificent!
I have mashed Shane Cadman and Chris Vaisvil and myself. this is a neat mix -- I took Shane Cadman's song here and then with Chris's mandolin work I stretched it out to match the length of Shane's Song as well as doing the same with two drum…
Nice neoclassical trio - very pleasant!
The octave mandolin is available at music stores that deal in folk / country instruments. I bought mine used and is made by Trinity College. Not sure if they are still in business. Its double the size and not surprisingly tuned as a regular mandolin but an octave below. Search for Sierra Hull on youtube - excellent mandolin player and has some videos that compare the two.
So, here is the third and final Movement of my first Piano Concerto...have really enjoyed this project. I will soon now be adding the complete Work to this site too.
A collaboration with Chris Vaisvil! I'm so jazzed he took a Thumbjam sketch of an idea and ran with it. Either an alternate Star Wars imperial march or Amon Duul jamming with Mahavishnu, don't know which.
Chris Vaisvil: guitars
Kavin.: Synths…
Roland SE-02 through EHX Stereo Memory Man -> Zoom RFX-300. Title comes from a combination of the time length, and the fact that it was created for the current Sound-In for 1-7/1/2021.
Beautifully dark and mysterious that then explodes into barely contained chaos that ends in a plaintive song of longing. That's how I hear this. Wonderful piece Ben!

Heavens! That's threatening, I hope you hung up!
Hi Chris, well I got the new laptop at last, so here I am trying it out. Amazing speakers! Sounds pretty good to me and well played.

Puts me in mind of the euphoria while drowning. Really smooth and weightless sounding.

Wow! You got some sensational sounds in there.
Creepy stuff! Really well done. Is that your giant cymbal there?
Flippin heck! This is great! Bethan

Yay! Now I can hear the whole thing. Nice Krautrock vibe going on here!
Frank wants to re-record this. I think we will be doing that sooner than later.
