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…

some work done in conjuncton with Reaper... while wearing the grim Reaper t-shirt. :) this is an excerpt - part of track one none of track two but can stand alone if need be..
haven't done a song that was laid back in a while, no fuzz, no distortion.
this is sort of a laid back prog song about a woman in, or your dreams that made an impact at the time, though she was never really there.
it runs about 9:16. thanks…

An exercise in dissecting a well known song to see what makes it tick. Drums are looped, bass is not in tune, guitar is not quite right, but I'm slowly getting there. Will update this later. Somewhen...

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
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.

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.

man, you always wants what bad for you.... This sounds like its from Zeppelin III!!!!!
wow this is an incredible composition - yet I feel the you from years ago in this and still, yet again in places you are channeling Hendrix.
it is totally really dream like!
This is cool!
Nice work Frank! Really like the vibe and your vocals are really good.
man this is great!!
awesome!!!
Thanks Brett - I'm just being a session man here - Frank is seriously rocking this out!
nicely done - you should get Reg to sing on your version.
Hi Richard, not a webcam - that was Stonehedge at winter solstice. Nice piece here!
Nice, though the mix gets a bit muddy for the effects flying all over. +100 for covering this.
Now to return the favor - thanks for listening and commenting.
Hi - the poem is here http://chrisvaisvil.com/i-live-by-the-cemetery-ambient-in-17-edo-harmonic-series-polytuned/
gosh this is like music from the other side of the veil of the multi-universe!
I'm up for a collaboration. Perhaps I can play my long string harp which you can manipulate and videoize.
True, but doing that is hard without practicing in the new key a bit. This was more for the fun of it.
Can I make a request - The Wizard by Sabbath?
nice job on this!
Lovely orchestral piece!
This is a beautiful piece!!
