Chris,, thanks for the listen,, this is very cool,, sounds like several layers of musical movement,, sort of like when sine waves of different period overlap,,, very nice

I watched the film Colditz story today and the French officer who summersaults over the fence put his hand up to volunteer working for the Germans he said he would rather work for 20 Germans rather than 1 Frenchman when asked his profession he told the German officer "undertaker".......

I put locking tuners and flat wound chrome strings on my 17 edo axe. Oh and I quieted the hum quite a bit. There will be more coming. Been a busy week - I think this is the first music I've made all week. I'm outta practice. A whirl with the whammy…
consider this a microcosm of the final work that might just happen ,, yes a complete Klingon Orchestrated Opera :) (feeling shameful that it was Chris's idea first.) (this is a mire raw example of an outproduced work.>
well - actually - there *was* a Klingon opera which is where I got the title. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%80%99u%E2%80%99
and this Klingon band is interesting...

this is a mono/nonstereo track because my fourtrack recorded decided that mono is better then stereo but at least the dang thing works ,, I guess,, From now on it is direct records from the outside machine to the computer not thru the fourtrack…
if you use something as a midi controller there are a few VSTi software microtonal synthesizers that are free which makes it easier. Savihost - and other VSTi hosting software let you play microtonally - all you have to keep track of is how the extra (or less) notes translate to the normal keyboard.
This piece is crazy! How'd you do the drums?
As for mono/stereo - what you need is either a Y-cable with 1/4 male to 1/8 stereo (or collection of pieces that do that)
If you are still using Sonar I guess its lets of an issue - just record multiple tracks.
very similar to the 'more of this a' but part 2
btw the video for todays' computer music work is getting uploaded now. all 25 min 25 sec and 25 frames there of.
1/1/11; took bits from two of Mark's tracks from Pleasure Listening (2002) and improvised in Max with them, then mixed in DP. a mellow vibe for the new year.
This song is not for everyone but I like it because its a live recording with a single instrument using infinity delay FX. (I turned on the loop delay at :09 after the guitar was flat on the floor.)
All the sounds are made with an acoustic bass…
I didn't like the 1st version so i changed it so here it is. imagine Sitting in the forest listening to the breeze being free and wanting to follow it..........................
Performed live by Rainbowtruth @ Irish Brigade Fredricksburg, VA circa late 1990's.

Slightly more aggressive than the original. Cool high-energy take w…
"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
I 2nd the request for a video. I'm assuming you are pushing the slide off the bridge toward the neck - correct? I've net ever heard of someone putting the slide on the picking hand before - but it sure sounds great!! Beautiful piece of work here Kirk!!

Like your version.
nice 12 string,
love all the experimentation, wow :)
Here's to home made instruments! And here's to Paddy: good riddance to those snakes, lamenting or not.
Lovely mix of flavours.
Love the weaving keys - conjures up images of enchanted ballet shoes dancing on their own. Very clever.
You rock out with the best of 'em, CV!
Like a soundtrack to a late night Star Trek episode! Crazily inventive and unsettling.
Intensely atmospheric...amazing!
*runs to get headphones*
Like it, like it, like it.
the 'about me' picture pretty much summed it up heh. favourited.
Chris,, thanks for the listen,, this is very cool,, sounds like several layers of musical movement,, sort of like when sine waves of different period overlap,,, very nice
I would imagine having a dreams such as this piece as i sleep at a Funeral home, or would i?
Reminds me of Barnabas Collins.
I watched the film Colditz story today and the French officer who summersaults over the fence put his hand up to volunteer working for the Germans he said he would rather work for 20 Germans rather than 1 Frenchman when asked his profession he told the German officer "undertaker".......
Creepy!
Nice spooky texture. I interviewed for a job at a funeral home once but opted for the hospital across the street.
Awesome!
Yes, ofcourse I knew it. Well done.

this is an oddly compelling piece - its like an electroband kidnapped Weird Al to jam on accordion. The production clarity is excellent too.
I love the sound of this - beautiful!! What do the pedals do in a pedal steel guitar?

I watched the whole video - I take it what was happening is that you layered video of you layering the sound? Very disorientating and interesting.
this is intense!! more microkorg?
this is a fantastic trip!
your soul is motown~!
alright!! new keys!!! This sounds excellent!
haha! this is great!!
right up my alley - awesome work my friend!
sounds..... Hungarian!
enjoyed!!
one of my favorite songs covered with power and great taste!!
wild story!
excellent! I like the way the congas answer each other.
this is beautiful - I love the slide. Gosh I sound so amateurish compared to you guys (and Kirk, and Bethan, and Tess, and ..... I'm just wow'd .

wow - this harkens back to the Beatniks with a motown funk vibe - that is so cool! - I love your voice Reg!!
would either of you have a rpoblem if I added to this?
