A stunning piece Chris. Builds with tension making anticipation. Love the glass marimba sounds. What a gloriously peaceful photo. Ah bliss!

based on the premise if we build it they will sec-come...The sounds speak of construction and excess in go-rash glass and steel

Golly, what a concrete jungle that photo shows! This is a very strong piece with sudden splashes of volume which are very effective.

Very good, I think because 17EDO has good fourths and fifths, and the usual CV touch makes it even better, John.

hey, i think "white boy with no rhythm" is a good enough excuse. ;)

Remastered from 4 track circa 1987. The backing track was shoved into one track (drum machine, casio CZ-101 synthesizer bass, rythmn guitar) - the vocals are buried because I wrote a song that was way way too high for my range. The backwards-ness…

I missed this one Chris. A really great rock song. The backing is punchy, solid and I think, right up there.

A delicate composition, very pretty. The photo reminds me of what I didn't like about Houston.

Ever since I started listening to microtonal music I feel like my ears are getting 'cleansed' from the typical equal tempered tuning. ( I'll always enjoy the works of genius in equal temp......but for now it would be hard to go back). Your site is fantastic because you have provide a good example of no stylistic limitations. I teach at a private music studio and will recommend your site.

Sounds so melancholy. Got me picturing the Sahara for some strange reason. Strong and impressive ending.

Well, I had this crazy idea that *maybe* Buddy Guy was using some microtonal inflections in his cover of Tramp (which are what the "blue notes" are and thought it would be cool to cover it with my fretless guitar. As it turned out it was my ear…

Absolutely love Buddy Guy. And the cover, though tbh this reminded me more of Fripp's over-driven guitar in 21st Century Schizoid Man, with more of a mid and 'tail' to it (I don't think I know what I'm talking about here). Great vocals!
