The Lament of Saint Patrick’s Snakes is an ambient piece using a home made instrument of six guitar strings stretched over a 28? by 3? by 1/2? oak board tuned with zither pins by ear to a JI open chord. The instrument is then bowed with a viola…

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…
The Broken Cathedral of Christchurch is an ambient poly-tuning piece using 11, 12, and 19 notes to the octave. The instruments used are a Korg MS2000 synthesizer, 19 edo electric guitar (several tracks), and 5 string bass – all with liberal…
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…

Normal IL - tantalizing close to Urbana where musicians are turned to the darkside of microtonality. Come, let me show you the power of a 19 note per octave guitar! Seriously - if you are interested at all you may want to make the drive.
Along with her magnificent harmonizing vocal tracks, Inge sent me one track which was crashed by her 2-year old son Willem. He pretty much takes over the whole operation at about 3:00.
In the background you can hear the original rough vocals…
I Got the Idea for this tune when I left Geir at Stanstead Airport.
Recorded it Last night after a Gig....
For the Folk Fest...

Norm set me these drums for Dancing on my own a while back but Reg went and dumped the file so we couldn't use them. So i'm using them now, while Reg gets Gone.........Thanks Norm
Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
Reg has this recurring dream of his fantasy women but she is always out of reach...........Thanks to Tess for letting me play with her tune.

ohhh I didn't see you had uploaded this! To answer your question - it was a Yamaha - can't remember the model - it had 3 pedals - I agree about the low end but the high end was really weak in my opinion.
Added a little more to this nice little change of strumming patterns played as an excuse to write a little love song.
I FOUND LOVE
You know I love you more than I
Ever thought one simple man could
You know I need you more than I
Ever…

Like it, like it, like it.
the 'about me' picture pretty much summed it up heh. favourited.

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.

like the indie vibe on this one!
beautiful piece!
nice jazzy number!
I love Inge's voice! - so rich. BTW - what guitar do you play - it sounds quite nice. A very good tune you both put together here.
I love your voice in this. Reminiscent of Gordon Lightfoot.
this is quite good. could I write music for it?
this is a great combination!!
interesting piece!
rockin' Reg and Norm - nice collaboration. Good combination if instruments.
loving the harp. this was a good choice!
I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
Nice work - a good combination.
wow! this harp work sounds great!!! Unfortunately the guitar pictured isn't the one in the recording (we'll get to that tomorrow)
You made it into a classical piece - I love that. Great work Richard!

the scope of this is totally impressive
one of my favorite songs - done really well!
Beautiful Richard!!
