Oh Baby its just not the same,
I can hear it when you call my name,
When you call my name,
Oh baby its just not the same,
I can feel it when you don't come home,
When you don't come home,
Oh Baby its just not the same,
I did feel…
Oh Baby its just not the same,
I can hear it when you call my name,
When you call my name,
Oh baby its just not the same,
I can feel it when you don't come home,
When you don't come home,
Oh Baby its just not the same,
I did feel…
Ok, at time this becomes out of sync leading to polytempic moments, but don't be fooled. I just can't play with a metronome. However, it truly is loopy in several dimensions. Lyrics written by OpenAI Chatbot and edited by me.

I FOUND LOVE
You know I love you more than I
Ever thought one simple man could
You know I need you more than I
Ever…

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
Lyrics:
======
I hate you when you breathe. Could you stop?
Waking up is hard to do when sleep never comes
But your ugly faces woke me up...
Callous sycophants
I know you too well to rest again
I'll stay up forever. I'll be ready
I've seen…
The island of Cuba was a Spanish possession for almost 400 years (1511-1898). The land-owning elite held social and economic power, supported by slaves, both indigenous and of South American and African descent, until slavery was abolished…

I have the midi files saved if you would like them? although some of this is performance midi records If I can say that? ;)
A composition for 3 piece jazz band, tenor sax, fretless bass, and drums in 14 equal divisions of the octave and 5/4 time. This was realized using Garritan Jazz and Big Band sample set and Sonar X1.
I'm going to put this in my profile if it will fit.
the question of how microtonality is perceived and why is a hotly debated one on the tuning list. There seems to be, in general, but not in all cases, shared intervals around the world, like the 5th. However non-western cultures use, in general, microtonal tunings. !2 equal notes to an octave is a relatively recent invention in the west. 300 years ago it was common for what would be now called a microtonal tuning to be in common, everyday use. As best as can be determined the push for 12 equal was all about changing keys in a single piece of music. If you take the tuning of the middle ages, Pythagorean, you find you can't play in any key despite having 12 notes because the intervals between the notes are not equally spaced. As a result when you take a pure chord and move it up or down the octave with the same distance between the notes it could become something hideous. 12 Equal solves that problem at the expense of detuning all notes, some more than others.

Hi Ricard, thanks for the listen and comment. It is probably hard not to hear 14 edo as out of tune since it so close to 12 but not quite there. I think then your sense of it being flattened and less bright is the result of the tuning.
On the three GR-20 pieces uploaded 6/8/11 this is how it works. In a nutshell - my guitar replaces a keyboard - but can do more.
Everything you hear is driven by me playing my Fender Mustang in one improvised pass. Now, for each song the Fender Mustang by itself (or through an amp simulator) is heard - this sound comes from the traditional pick ups on the guitar. Besides that I have installed a Roland GK-3 pick up on my Mustang. This pick up has 6 tiny picks ups - one for each string and connects to a fairly large switch and then a 1/4" cable with some 11 lines - regular guitar output and 6 outputs for the GK-3. This cable connects to the GR-20 synthesizer / midi interface. The GR-20 first decodes, almost instantly, the note each string is playing. It then converts that to midi pitch information and shoves that out the back. More on that later. Also, since the GR-20 is a synthesizer besides, it takes the pitch information and routes it to an internal sound (if desired). The really interesting part is what happens when I route that midi output to my computer. At my computer Sonar lets me assign that midi data to any number of synthesizers / samplers/ what-have-you all at the same time. So, if I want a voice or strings or piano - no problem. As for drums - Kontakt has a really neat groups of sampled drum sets that are a combination of "one shots" and smaller loops. So for instance on one of the pieces when I played the C below middle C I got a snare roll, play the B below it I get the accent that finishes the roll. So, by playing many notes I get a complex assortment of drum sounds that are in time with my playing. I've used this technique before - I am learning how to control it better - and the response is different for each of the dozen or so drum kits packaged with Kontakt - and then consider the effect of different tempos - the result is a fair amount of variety.
Well Reg is a touch concerned about his new love Lorraine who has been missing for last two days and she's not answering his calls and his getting a little touchy about it ....a little insecure to be truthful........................
Who do…
So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...
"Driftwood"
Coming down…
Good one! You have a way, like The Boss, of touching something about life in your songs that just resonates. And judging from the comments -- resonates with pretty much everyone who hears.

Ohhhhh yes I'm feelin this
What a trip!
I like the ๐ ๐ bells ๐ so cool ๐ Is this a sample or actually using instruments like the bells. Mmmm with effects? Wow just perfect,.
Nice ๐๐ I think the left right bounce is great I like the way that sounds... ,๐๐คโพ๏ธ๐๐๐๐โ๏ธ๐ช๐ ๐๐๐ธ๐ฟ๐๐ฅ๏ธ๐ช๐๐โ๏ธ๐ฝ

Interesting Track!!..I like it!!
Cool! Are you editing the row offset on the Linnstrument for the tuning or doing it outboard?
really nice ---
omg fantastic --- the second listen was even better so I will do the third listen (a rare thing not often used by me)
whatever regs said.....
Now Desirea although you sing with such a beautiful voice you know Iโm not being enticed back โฆ.. Iโm notโฆ really โฆ. Iโm not
You are a metronome. Who needs them? Nice song. Happy to see your still here doing your thing.
Pretty awesome! The tabla like percussion hits in beginning are really defining with the voice and mix. Grows cool!
wow Gregor :)
minute 5 -- omg wow ... this is a great sound entering here.
serve them up - :)
Another from way back you two certainly brought me out of my shell
This one took me back
the Neutron is a great instrument --- I like all the behringer instruments --

this is an excellent song!
finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
This is cool! You made the google guitar sound like its going through a *huge* stack.
wow. very powerful words and music.
this is excellent - and unique!
lovely Richard! Sounds light music for a candle light dinner.
thank you for the listen and comment on my seagull improv.
Reg - he did do something like that one day - and yes it was great!
and the excellence of the music should be overlooked too.
Reg - you are one heck of a story teller! Have you considered writing a novel or short story?
Hi John, I like this one.
you should be creating music for sci-fi films!
I wish AT had a repeat button. I'm downloading this - great piece Norm!

This is beautiful! I love the bluesy feel. Would it be ok if I try to add to this?

your vocal control amazes me - excellent story and song!
