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.
The Metaphysical Evaporation of Wells Street is an ambient piece devised by mashing Summer Sky by Paul H. Muller, Sweeping the Clouds by Lydia Busler-Blais, I Half Remember Why I Got the Blues by Steve Layton, Blue Mountain by Diego Monroy…

It's easy to miss the music and percussion in this track because of Reg's outstanding vocal - excellent cover all round guys.
Nice bit of glass rubbing at the end there Chris!
What is that sound?

Well, the Unicorn in the glass dust may be the way to you, but Bee's voice is the way to me.
Don't tell Bee, but MY dreams are slightly different: in them I hear her telling me how naughty I am.
You did well with this Chris, it is really bizarre, just like a weird dream! I like the tinkling on the ivories and the strange meeowing sound of the guitar together. Works really well!
Please - this is not the concept I asked her contribution for. I didn't feel right putting her voice up without a credit. But.... this doesn't do justice - I got things I need to do but I will have a better setting.
Not what I was expecting with a Bee vocal. Cool piece. And, while I can only hope to hear Bee singing when I pass, I hope it is something more along her typical angelic lines.
my dad at one time helped with a radio show - if I remember correctly Tilden High School in Chicago had a radio transmitter. This would have come from there. My son traced this back to about 1923. My father tended to bring things home from where he worked, etc. He even brought home, as far as I could tell, the entire Data General railroad traffic controlling computer - vintage early 70's - the programs were loaded via punched paper tapes - when it got replaced. And no, it wasn't used on this piece. Ben has it. But at 1000 Hz he should be able to get it work if he feeds it the right kind of electricity.
This is a remix of an improvised track I did for our first RPM album. For this new mix, I got rid of the vocals & added a most excellent electric guitar part by our good friend, Chris Mitchell. He listened to the track just once and proceeded…
this is based on an improve from back in jan 75, then guitarist - chris layed this riff out and i never forgot it. it was the first time i was in a band as a bassist. the rest of the riffs are mine and everything else disastrous done in this song…

We were having a little tipple down the cellar last night and we came up with a Christmas song for the festive season...hope you enjoy..........
CHRISTMAS TIME AT THE DRUNK’S HOUSE (Lyrics)
it's Christmas time in the drunks house
and the…
Well Jefferry came down the cellar this evening for a chat and a bit of consoling.................. so we decided to recant his tale of woe........................poor old Jeferry.............
I found my answer "These pieces are recorded live in my home studio. They are made with an electric guitar played through a laptop and a dedicated hardware looper."
Mozart's famous "Alla Turca" Sonata #11 in A major with period tuning and period pianoforte and period diapason of A4 = 415 Hz. Details http://chrisvaisvil.com/?p=1837
Another work in progress down the cellar.............a first cut...........
I KNOW HOW LOVE CAN FEEL(Lyrics)
I know how love can feel
I know that love can heal
i know i kneel before you
i know it can burn you, destroy you
i know how love can…
Thank you for the comments on Sympathy for a Friend. I didn't use a synthesizer. All of the sound is from one take on my 19 note per octave guitar + effects.
Sort of a Tuesday improv...
Built up around a synth texture that I built up with:
Operator->FilterStation->Volcano->Kombinat->Panstation->RP-Delay
(what's the fun in having plugins if you can't abuse them)
Heres a collab with Wildgeas Music a beautiful bit of music hope i did it justice with the vocal............
Tomorrow (Lyrics)
I know the curse of the darkness is coming
those dark nights that will feed upon my soul
with no forward glance of tomorrow…
So after hearing some of Stephen Krell's outstanding picking, I asked him if he'd like to play along with any of my songs... I can't be happier with the one he picked to add his banjo to (seeing as how the song is written about my favorite Pete…

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.
An excitingly mysterious ride, perfectly formed.
Mighty cover!!!
Excellent cover great vocals Reg.
great track!

HI Vaisvil. very cool rendition. creative in all ways u did this cover and made it your own...great tribute. loved it all the way god bless NEIL .
Well, the Unicorn in the glass dust may be the way to you, but Bee's voice is the way to me. Don't tell Bee, but MY dreams are slightly different: in them I hear her telling me how naughty I am.
Trippy dreaming.....dreamin....dreami....dream...drea....dre...dr...d.....

Yes, it's a great song. Lovely to hear it again.

I know your in there Bethan....RUN!!!....RUN AWAY....AWAY FROM THE LIGHT.....
I loved that album.
Not what I was expecting with a Bee vocal. Cool piece. And, while I can only hope to hear Bee singing when I pass, I hope it is something more along her typical angelic lines.

I love the floating feel this has.
also - you have an astounding memory!
Ha - this riff is mine? I sure don't remember it - now I feel embarrassed about my comment :-)
excellent! I love the opening guitar riff and cool ending!
Nailed Tom's voice!
Very Tom Waits - love it!
wow your voice sounds so like the Kinks!
love your voice here!
May I invite you to participate at ImprovFriday? You may have some fun! http://improvfriday.com/

What do you have in your ambient rig? I am enjoying your work!
Hi Bethan - I have no idea who played it - but they did an excellent job. The midi file I found somewhere in the 90's.
wow - another side totally! I like the string / piano combination.
Thank you for the comments on Sympathy for a Friend. I didn't use a synthesizer. All of the sound is from one take on my 19 note per octave guitar + effects.
I love that metallic sound!
The cello work is especially good.
nicely done!!
excellent - this is a great song perfectly played and sung!!
enjoyed!!
