This is a piece Norm and I collaborated on last year. We hope you will enjoy it.
two improvised 12 string guitar lines
bass line ( I took a few takes)
improvised piano
Norm's percussion in Tumbao rhythm
looks like something from my local biotanic garden,, is the color true? i like the feeling of this piece...not sure how to say it, but i like it..... go figure,,,,
They are noisy little bugs aren't they?
Nice rhythmic playing here Chris. beautifully done!
I have a fair sized collection of bugs and insects,
which I thought would interest the grand children one day, but of course, they can't be heard.
Oh, look at his dear little face!
Interesting chipping noises I heard in there.
A very vibration rich, most eerie, especially the long, fading note at the end.
is a mash featuring Benjamin Smith (piano), Paul Mimlitsch x 2 (bass recorder and bass clarinet), Lydia Busler-Blais (horn), and myself (percussion) – all tracks manipulated – the tuning is nominally 12 equal, however, there is enough pitch bending…
Ooo, I see this one is going to be an epic! headphones in place, ok go .....
That was a journey into the secret hive! Beautifully done. I can appreciate the work that goes into ambient music, too clever for me!
an ambient piece using 19 edo + harmonic series tuned synthesizers, 17 edo electric guitar, and unconstrained pitch metallic objects (I was allowed to sample a metal work shop).
there should be dialogs about these songs in chat areas on each page sometimes, betting that is what is going on at the site of yours where you post. :)

If the baby falls
The crib shall age empty
all of the earth
which ever lived
creation everyday
if the baby falls
it would leave the crib quite solo
The sources who join to nurture cries and giggles
Won't change diapers anymore
If our baby falls…

this is a mono/nonstereo track because my fourtrack recorded decided that mono is better then stereo but at least the dang thing works ,, I guess,, From now on it is direct records from the outside machine to the computer not thru the fourtrack…
if you use something as a midi controller there are a few VSTi software microtonal synthesizers that are free which makes it easier. Savihost - and other VSTi hosting software let you play microtonally - all you have to keep track of is how the extra (or less) notes translate to the normal keyboard.
This piece is crazy! How'd you do the drums?
As for mono/stereo - what you need is either a Y-cable with 1/4 male to 1/8 stereo (or collection of pieces that do that)
If you are still using Sonar I guess its lets of an issue - just record multiple tracks.
very similar to the 'more of this a' but part 2
btw the video for todays' computer music work is getting uploaded now. all 25 min 25 sec and 25 frames there of.
1/1/11; took bits from two of Mark's tracks from Pleasure Listening (2002) and improvised in Max with them, then mixed in DP. a mellow vibe for the new year.
This song is not for everyone but I like it because its a live recording with a single instrument using infinity delay FX. (I turned on the loop delay at :09 after the guitar was flat on the floor.)
All the sounds are made with an acoustic bass…
I didn't like the 1st version so i changed it so here it is. imagine Sitting in the forest listening to the breeze being free and wanting to follow it..........................
Performed live by Rainbowtruth @ Irish Brigade Fredricksburg, VA circa late 1990's.
Barnett: Guitar/lead vocal
Osborne: Drums/back-up vocal
Duff: Guitar
Bowers: Bass
Slightly more aggressive than the original. Cool high-energy take w…
"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
I 2nd the request for a video. I'm assuming you are pushing the slide off the bridge toward the neck - correct? I've net ever heard of someone putting the slide on the picking hand before - but it sure sounds great!! Beautiful piece of work here Kirk!!

Sorry Chris, those comments were me, I'm always forgetting to say! Bethan

Thay sound real, are they? Well played!

Very nice
good jam

Trance inducing, love it
It certainly resonates! Are the delicate hammering noises the forge sounds? Then there are the buzzings! Or am I mistaken? This is very well done.
Weird and wonderful!
Different and interesting.
neat-0! Illegal Alien
Yes - I love it.
majestic!
Suspenseful and Interesting. M O R E W I N E

this is an oddly compelling piece - its like an electroband kidnapped Weird Al to jam on accordion. The production clarity is excellent too.
I love the sound of this - beautiful!! What do the pedals do in a pedal steel guitar?

I watched the whole video - I take it what was happening is that you layered video of you layering the sound? Very disorientating and interesting.
this is intense!! more microkorg?
this is a fantastic trip!
your soul is motown~!
alright!! new keys!!! This sounds excellent!
haha! this is great!!
right up my alley - awesome work my friend!
sounds..... Hungarian!
enjoyed!!
one of my favorite songs covered with power and great taste!!
wild story!
excellent! I like the way the congas answer each other.
this is beautiful - I love the slide. Gosh I sound so amateurish compared to you guys (and Kirk, and Bethan, and Tess, and ..... I'm just wow'd .

wow - this harkens back to the Beatniks with a motown funk vibe - that is so cool! - I love your voice Reg!!
would either of you have a rpoblem if I added to this?
excellent! The interplay between guitar and percussion is very good.
