A picture of Chicago’s near north side I took on a recent trip. Note the scaffolding for the church steeple.
17 edo electric guitar solo with ebow, whammy bar, and delay is a microtonal ambient minimalist piece.
Inspired by Joel Taylor's piece in scala's 12-22h.scl tuning 12-22hexachordal sonatina I tried my hand at it and came up with this piano improvisation called "Smoke Filled Bar". I found this excellent drawing of a femme fatale in a smoke filled…

A homage to Steve Hackett (who wrote this piece)

This is played using John O'Sullivan's Blue JI tuning. Pianoteq and Kontakt didn't play nice together so I had add 4.81 cents to all of the flute notes.
Fantasy for Piano in 25 Note per Octave Tuning is a short piece I composed in Sibelius 7 using Pianoteq 4 in 25 note per octave (edo) tuning. This composition was created per a request in the Xenharmonic Alliance as a response to my piece in…
This is a serial improvisational piece (excepting some drum loops) in John O’Sullivan’s Blue JI tuning (which I rather like) – all of the instruments, African log drum, Nigerian log drum, Krin slit drum, Teponaxtli, Toere, Kaekeeke, Kalaau…

Such an incredible mix of sounds. It felt like a junkyard in space. Then when the music came in I thought it fitted really well, music all in bits like the gramaphones. Ooo, the swaying from one ear to the other at the end is effective too.
Music written and performed by Mike Smith, also known as Dragonsong.
When Mike first asked me to read this poem, he believed it was written around the time of the Spanish Flu...but, our sources say no. It was most likely written by Kitty O…
Tim Chandler was a tall man with a big heart and a great sense of humor. He was the bassist for a number of bands including Daniel Amos, The Choir, and The Swirling Eddies. He also played bass on sessions and tours for Phil Keaggy, Randy Stonehill…

I was looking through my messages and found this collab i did with Kari a while back in 2017 i had forgotten all about. so pleased i found it thanks Kari

Now here's a bit of an oldie - the second song I ever wrote. In... 1978!
I think I played it once, or maybe twice, at school assemblies. My musical peers and colleagues back then dismissed it as corny/rancid pop music…

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.
On…
Winter 1977 / 1978 - band is Clay percussion, Evan guitar and guitar pedals (synth sounds), Mike Barry piano, Mike Craddock bass, and Chris guitar (with echo / volume pedal)
This was the next to last jam of the night
Andrew, sorry - I wasn't even think of that even though I saw a live show video by HAIM where some young ladies from southern California ripped that cover song up! Worth a search!
just like it says

Here it is in all of its glory...
THIS is the song that Mrs R and I had decided was a suitable response to a request to "Upload something HAPPY, stat!!!!!!!!!"
I tried to record it back in 2013 when I wrote it…
AKA New Wave or "Unknown #1"
As always, apologies to the band for the guesswork.

Why

Fired
because I said so
I wrote this song as a way to process some of the feelings of sadness, dismay, anger, fear and love that were brewing inside my heart this past week. I live in Minneapolis, where the terrible killing of George Floyd occurred, and the subsequent…

Nice build, I have no idea how this cool pad is built. I was playing along on electric guitar . Huge open sounds! Ilove this one. Steve
every body polka.
One of your oriental flavoured pieces Chris. Well played, it must be difficult. I like the way it boings at the end!
Nice playing Chris..........
Just wait until Pepé Le Pew gets a load of her!!
Purrrrfectly performed!
Great feel! Great playing! (Can't read much info about this track as the link seems to be broken.)
I love this!
Lovely! Well played Chris!
parts of this remind me of something from Michael Hedges' taproot album.... nice track!
Ooo, well played!
Nice warm groove.
Now that's cool
well Chris, i find this rather interesting,
This has inspired me to get my guitar out :)
Such an incredible mix of sounds. It felt like a junkyard in space. Then when the music came in I thought it fitted really well, music all in bits like the gramaphones. Ooo, the swaying from one ear to the other at the end is effective too.
Such an emotive piece. Beautifully performed. The ending is very different from the main part, almost like a new beginning.

Your speaking voice sounds so much like your mum. This is a beautiful composition and production!
Excellent work!
frickin' cows with lasers!
very complex and lovely texturing!
Excellent addition!
This works incredibly well together!
nice tune and great guitar! indeed - that is a weird emotionally social distancing instruction.
beautiful!
Excellent!
This is a great composition and the production top notch! Excellent work!

Good work! And yeah a mask is the only way to fly
Some really interesting music that obvious had its own life!
Wow... this is such touching melancholy. It has touch of gospel but so, so sad.
Excellent! I love the drive and the feeling that this is music about to explode from its own intensity.
got chills listening to this!
Great textures!
certainly Clapton has nothing on you!
this is great!
There is something compelling about your calm reflective pieces like this :-)
