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).

This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?

Billy wanted a project for the 2023 Christmas holidays and asked some of his extremely talented musician friends to play on this track.
Matt Smith: Guitars & backing vocals
Paul Matthews: Pianos & organ

Punny title to hint at the sound origin; the sounds left on a reel of tape (or in this case, two different ones) after it has undergone a bulk-erase procedure - placing it on a device that creates a strong electromagnetic field that scrambles…
Four different tracks of Roland SE-02 controlled via MIDI by a Casio DH-100. Choosing different voices on the Casio causes settings to change on the Roland, which were then tweaked a little. Submitted to Sound-In "Roleplay Improv" for 1-8/2/2024.
Three different versions of a similar line created using the onboard sequencer on a Roland SE-02. the different voices were created by changing settings on a Casio DH-100 digital horn attached via MIDI, and playing the horn. Submitted to Sound…
I'm working on a series of new pieces for an electro-acoustic album. As this one is most are done using Pure Data as a somewhat compositional playing in the process. I'm capturing real time playing to loop tables and then laying them into an…

Impressive runs!
Aw, now I want curried porcupine...
Call it what you like, I enjoyed it.
You are wacked for sure my friend :) Love the tones. I still can't get a handle on microtonal myself though I like it when you do it!
Can one have too much curry?
Well even porcupines need love! "Sorry they're so sharp" uh hu!
Has all the fascinating flavours of India.
It's interesting watching you guys working together. I could make the tea!
You get the prize for innovation! It's very interesting watching you guys. Ah! cute kitty!
Just found the headphones in 3 year old's bed. The tones have come alive and anyway, how do you play that thing?
Nice!
This is insane!!!
I can hear the quarter tones. Intriguing!
Neat!
enjoyed that Chris...............
Dreamy!
A most effective and fine composition. Hypnotic ending!
cool effects.
TD indeed! I wish they still sounded like this.

Definitely true to the original - very excellent work!
You always come up with inventive ways to generate sound and I admire that - this is quite cool as it sounds underwater to me.
another brilliant DH-100 application!
such a foreboding piece - were you thinking about it being an election year here in the states?
Nice pocket between ambient, EDM and experimental electronic!
I enjoyed your performance very much!
This is the most unique use of a DH-100 that I know of!
nice work!
Brilliant!
This blew me away - so powerful!
This has such a nice ambience to it. Nice pickin' my friend!
Man you man that dobro sing!
Man you nailed it - your vocals are especially powerful at the end.
Man this is great to happen upon again!
This is a sweet piece!

Excellent!
Alberta too? I thought Canadians were sane.
Excellent work!
Loving it!
