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…

They left me home alone with my Fender Mustang and Marshall Amp. My cat ran away - and one of my ferrets stared at me for a full 30 seconds in disbelief and then decide telepathy was not going to make me turn down the volume. It isn't good…

2008 - A 12 string guitar Acoustic Improv played in the Pelican tuning DEADAD. It has some rough spots but sometimes the best takes are the first ones. final edits made in Ableton 9 and audacity.
While wiring up a new FX processor in my studio I was messing around with this classic traditional sea shanty. Probably because at this time last week I was playing at the Harwich (UK) International Sea Shanty Festival. Anyway, while messing around…
Orphans were asked to contribute a track to a new 'Halloween Compilation' - released by Whiplash Records - this is our cover of the Coops 'Dwight Fry' - Hope you enjoy!
For this track I used a scale that John McLaughlin once mentioned in an interview, which I later figured out was a Phrygian Dominant scale with the flat-6 omitted.
Thanks for listening.

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.
Nice! I think I like 19 edo
What ever happened to this guitar? Is the procedure over?
Nice! I've been looking for a decent low cost nylon string
You did an excellent job with this one Chris. Bee
Such a sad picture. Dramatic track.
The bass and melodeon blend well!
Ooo, this one is good Chris! It has a surreal feel. Excellent percussion!
Ah Yes! We all have an inner Tony Iommi waiting to get loose!
Fascinating story about those wrens...
Excellent.

This gives a sense of a huge space with a guitar sound that rips the fabric of space-time - really great!
Love the textural development!
Always love your playing Ben!
I like how you use loops - your guitar becomes orchestral!
Cool piece!
On theme or not I love your piano playing!
Very good - nice and intimate, uncompromising!
Perfection! - but we all do not expect less for you and your collaborators Tess!
Sounds like middle eastern EDM!
Great guitar work!
great build and texture development!
Legolas and the woodland elvish band after being gifted synthesizers by Gandalf :-)
some really cool sounds in this!
This really is spooky - it is like being in a haunted house - is this the revived super nova?
really hot guitar!
Is this all you? In any case impressive vocals!
Fantastic cover!
you don't want to wait until I upload the noiseless samples?
This has a really a great sweetness tinged with regret feel.
Nice work!
