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.

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!

Creation's game
My mind is broken
The depth I cannot fathom
Even the stars will die
There is no direction
When every path
Is the same
Creation's game
Break apart
Each waking thought
They collide…
17 Dynes is an improvisation with a 17 note per octave electric guitar that was heavily modified in Melodyne Editor 2.0 DNA. A Dyne is a unit of measure for surface tension.

This is a traditional piece that dates back to at least the 16th century. Since the version I have is instrumental I used what is called Pythagorean Tuning and period instruments to render it. (alto recorder, bells (crotales), fiddle, and bodhran…

Well, I make no claim to the authenticity of Ethno 2 samples - though assuming they are top notch is probably a safe bet. I just released a revised version to my private mailing list and here are the instruments:
This piece is a quasi-middle eastern section using the celtic 12, E, and D guitars and the lead Electric Bouzouki plus acoustic bass in Zurna tuning and the percussion includes Timbales, gong, Bendir, Daires, Darbuka, Tamborin, and Sistres.
Backyard Ghost sent me something to work on...i added my own touch and arranged it...i sent it to him and he added another of his touches and rearranged it and You've Had My Tears is the end result...we both love this collaboration...expect more…
Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…

This is one of my first alonetone collaborations written by Louis Smit.
Everyone should go listen to some of his tunes. Louis is a very original
and talented folk style acoustic guitarist- singer - songwriter.
You can hear him here.

This is a special request by Sister.
It's kinda sloppy. Frankly, because I suck at it :)
I'm not much of a cover musician but I gave it hell.
It's mostly analog. MIDI drums, DB33 organ patch,
strat leads, and Ibanez chords, Dean bass…
Hi - I enjoyed this composition very much. I would like to mention though that the volume was very low. So much so I have to normalize it to listen reasonably. Do you lack software to do this type of manipulation? (or was this on purpose?) In any event this piece impressed me enough to go through your series of sonatas!
CROSS-OVER POLYRHYTHMS
This is actually a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with **different meters** (i.e., a different numbers of beats/measure) are played at the **same tempo**: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms…

Chris does Blues! Good song and strong guitar playing.
A delicate composition, very pretty. The photo reminds me of what I didn't like about Houston.
This is expressive and solid. Bound together in the light of lights.
Love the flute it gives it a certain magic.....
Such a clear flute. An inspiring piece, strong and meaningful. A perfect partner for the reading.
Excellent!

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

Very Nice!

Man alive!! this is astounding!! what a trip!
As for the song icon for Don't Look Down - a friend made it for me and I am not sure what he used. Subway is a good bet.

Beautiful!! In composition and execution.
Nice tune - so this is a cover?
Nice tune - like the production

Awesome!!! This is so perfect!
