Radio 1 is an aleatoric composition. I did this in the late 90's - thus the 486SX laptop and soundcard attached to the LPT (printer) port.
It was generated through the Cakeawalk Pro Audio “extract rhythm” function performed on radio static…
Cool. I might be tempted to try this. Maybe a stupid question here but couldn't you accomplish the same thing just tuning all the strings a semitone flat (or sharp)?
Adaptive Just Intonation (trying to keep the harmonies pure)
full screen and HD recommended for the video - to see the software in action responding to my (edited) improvisation.
microtonal piano improvisation
it was pointed out to me at 2:54 you can hear Mary Had a Little Lamb - totally unintentional and in a completely foreign tuning to boot!

Organ in 15 Porcupine - I'm not very happy with this. I've fussed with it for a couple hours and it still sounds like disembodied phrases thrown together haphazardly to me. YMMV
Angelos Quetzacoatl composed this piece and then we performed it on video for your enjoyment during a recent visit. Angelos plays fretless guitar and I play fretless bass in 24 edo (quartertones).
score is here: http://chrisvaisvil.com/?p=1959
There are times, moments, sounds, shadow falls that take us to and bring us back to magical times in our lives,,,Something in this piece by Johnny Mercer & Henry Mancini,, can pull me in so many different ways,,, it's always been a favorite…
this is the second part that was recorded during a acid studio work creation, just letting the audacity record what sounds that were while i did the midi/audio sound work.. :) am posting the same video work here because both songs are in the video…
That is a cool video!!! Psychodrama!! man this is some intense music and images! Reminds me of The Residents!!
To answer your question we got two ferrets from a shelter and one was so calm we called him buddha and so we called the other gandhi to match.
I am leaving this week for a while but couldnt resist adding as the third collaborator on this excellent track by Keith Landry and Osckilo before I go.
Added some bass,ambient stings, and of course sleigh bell
Hope you guys like it.
See you…
Perhaps you could use a little fatherly advice? Well here it is!
Chording improvisation on 7 different conga drums tuned to an octave and set to 3-2 rumba clave.
LYRICS
Lookie here hot-shot: a silent fool is half a wise-man
And there…
I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…
Percussion by Norm
Lyrics by Rat-Hybrids
It's been tough to keep up lately, hope everyone is well.
Something I was working on as part of a larger project. When it's done I'll link it.
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
oh yes~!! I had my virtual computer set to no sound so I could compose yesterday - now I'm bummed I didn't hear this sooner!! Yowzer you guys are jamming!!!
This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…
yes! this is great - the two of you rock together - and Hurdy Gurdy!! Awesome!! If I may be so bold perhaps a recorder or flute - or best a shawm melody would work.
In Argentina they say "in Argentina everything may change - except the tango", but I couldn't resist adding some percussion to this beautiful nuevo tango by Vincent Voois, composed in the style of Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla.
Check out Vincent…
made during a video record session to get some image work done while mixing sounds, these are like more accidental then anything else mixed on the "spot."
third in the reworkings from july 2008 :) seems i did not get to upload some of even the originals to trax's in space at that time there is a block from my music list that is missing .. guessing i was doing two projects tandom and missed the second…
I feel as though I am on a merry go round that is next to a cage of psychedelic birds at the entrance to a tunnel that hold the flame of Anor. If only I could become liquid like Odo and pass between the birds I might find life on the other side. Then again maybe not.
Thanks to Sister Savage for helping us debut our new project. As busy as she is, Sister managed a bit of time and some great Jovian vox for us.
This piece or art is unique, sublime, and psychedelic.

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
That's pretty intense.
Lovely, Dark and slightly disturbing all at the same time!
Nice!
Really enjoyed the intro to this one
That was really well done. I like it!
Loaded with lots of MeV! Excellent.
More cleverness! Very nice!
I enjoyed that. Oh, it ends abruptly!
The music sounds like it's trying to talk. (I don't mean the voice on the end)
Cool. I might be tempted to try this. Maybe a stupid question here but couldn't you accomplish the same thing just tuning all the strings a semitone flat (or sharp)?
Interesting tuning!
Wonderfully festive sounds for Winter!
kinda got a Mike Oldfield Vibe going ....excellent have listen to this quite a bit
Interesting combination of musical sounds
Crazily inventive! Great stuff, CV!
Interesting. Not familiar with Lainhart. Will have to check out his work
I didn't hear Mary had a little lamb. Oh it's at 2.54
pretty so pretty :)
Yes, why not give it a rest for a while and come back to it later. You may surprise yourself. It's all there, you just need to fine tune it perhaps.
Very inspiring, guys!

When I was a kid this was one of my favorite songs to sing. It is so beautiful. Your arrangement and performance is to die for Richard. So lovely.
That is a cool video!!! Psychodrama!! man this is some intense music and images! Reminds me of The Residents!! To answer your question we got two ferrets from a shelter and one was so calm we called him buddha and so we called the other gandhi to match.

This is great. Excellent work everyone!
my comment didn't make it? Please, more like this - this is excellent Norm!!
it sounds like mourning - sad and (relatively) quiet screams. this is awesome work Steve.
this be the ticket!!
love it!!
this is great - I can *feel* the rhythm - you got my Polish genes rockin - now that is an accomplishment!!
I love your voice here!
oh yes~!! I had my virtual computer set to no sound so I could compose yesterday - now I'm bummed I didn't hear this sooner!! Yowzer you guys are jamming!!!
yes! this is great - the two of you rock together - and Hurdy Gurdy!! Awesome!! If I may be so bold perhaps a recorder or flute - or best a shawm melody would work.
this is simply perfect.
cool sounding! you get so much out of your synth!
this is great. has a spiritual feel to it
I feel as though I am on a merry go round that is next to a cage of psychedelic birds at the entrance to a tunnel that hold the flame of Anor. If only I could become liquid like Odo and pass between the birds I might find life on the other side. Then again maybe not.
reminds me of Japanese theater.
truly disturbing. nice.
an odd piece. very strange juxtaposition.
I played then went to a news page where they had the live feed of the Chilean miner rescue. This went together beautifully.
