We went to visit my dad at his assisted living facility and they have a Yamaha Clavinova on which I improvised for a half hour to provide some entertainment. This is a ~ 3 minute excerpt from about half way through. This was recorded on my Zoom…
I was asked to come up with some gritty microtonal guitar. This is an out-take from that session.
17 Indulgences is a solo guitar piece in 17 edo featuring acoustic feedback, echo and a bluesy sort of point of view but does wander here and…
Japanese Ghost House Boat was my contribution to the ImprovFriday “For Japan” earthquake relief CD release with proceeds donated to the Red Cross. It is in 17 notes per octave. Since its been about a year I thought I could release it now as…
A rubbish track by Tess got the Sandbags treatment here - the results only hold shades of the original. And it's just as well.

my tribute to a very underrated, underappreciated band. 40 yrs ago thier self titled lp came out, and i cover one from the lp as a tribute on thier 40th anniversary. im not a lead guitarist, and a new singer, so please bear with me on that.
I was listening to Jesmiaus earlier Trick of your love (RPM2012) and it gave me an idea for my first RPM this year...so thanks Will...... hope you all enjoy this....i did doing it...they say smoking weed can make you schitzophrenic but i’m not…
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
Hi Kirk, typically it is easiest to start talking about notes as numbers in the tuning. So say for instance a a fifth would be from note 1 (or 0) to note 12 (11). This page may help http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/19edo
*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.

Hi Kavin, if your new tuning changed the length between the 5th and 6ths fret for instance then, no you could not accomplish this by changing the tuning of the open strings.
On the other hand you can make a small trip into microtonality by retuning the open strings a quarter flat or sharp relative to each other.
2011 according to Regs research was pretty shit for most apart from the couple from England......it thought i would use a Chinese theme to the music being that they own it and it was the year they were able to buy most of it cheap.....note to…
Quite excellent and I'm only 2 minutes in. This is an amazing composition of ever changing aural landscapes. Wonderful!! and I'm 14 minutes in. At 15 minutes in I downloaded this piece. By 21 minutes you have taken me to a new never seen before aural vista overlooking the eternal. What an incredible transformation to an organ-ish sound at 25 minutes. Wow... the symphonic length was filled with symphonic sound. I love your piece! The closing flute like tones from your ebow is just perfect.

BIG sound.
this one grabs my attention. It could easily be on the bitter dregs album. Like the emotion in the guitar.
Excellent!
it makes me smile
Lovely!
Vertiginous!!!!!
Inventive and stirring!
I don't know the original - find it hard to believe you ruined it though! Very much like your boyish (
Pretty sweet blend of riffage.
I love the title! The voices at the beginning are very realistic, as in, I thought someone was right next to me in the room... Weird!
Likes this,heavy,spacey,nice one!
Very atmospheric! Giddying sounds.
I love this! That 12 string sounds like it's about 40 ft long
Very clean recording and playing.
Classic. Well done!
it's very interesting
nice cover!
indeed, a cool piece,,, nice to hear your different styles
That's a great vocal you got going there Chris...nice cover
Ebowmania!

I saw autoharp and I had to listen. I really like this song. Very nice vibe to it.
enjoyed - like Kate Bush meets Tori Amos at Apex Twin's home studio.
well, Iceland is about half-way - I say we have an Alontone party in Reykjavík - perhaps we can get Bjork to join in!!
this is lovely - way way too short!!
excellent - never heard the original but I love what you've done here.
awesome!!
once again - simply beautiful!
beautiful!
Love the vocal split - excellent rock ballad
hi Kavin, Wondering Aloud is on my list!
