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
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?

Desirea has done a number on Reg, she stole his Credit cards birth certificate and passport and has cloned him to at least a dozen banks that he knows of. He has lost his house his car everything he has./ And to top it all he cant sleep for missing…
This is a piece written for 37signals, made to accompany a [fun video they did on Letterpress printing](http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2795-a-letterpressed-thank-you)
The track is best listened to in context of the video, since it's scored…
Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots.
When…

Humility Don't Come to You
Bet you don't know what I do,
what I'm doing, what I'm doing
Bet you don't understand
Yes I realize
that you think you think you are so big
and its hollow the night you stand
Humulity don't come to you
Not at all
Humility don't come to you
Not at all
I bet you can't figure out who you are
All the things you try just don't get you too far
And you try to make what it is
Something that that it really isn't pure
Humility don't come to you
Easy at all
Humility don't come to you
You think you stand so tall
Humility don't come to you
Not Easy at all
Humility don't come to you
I hope that you can catch your fall.
I am noticing a patter in the musics like at minute five to minute five and a half I start to slow down and change up the systems.. anyway when i mixed the two things they came out like this.
these are the messages from my machine. I did this before but somehow had to do this again. of course the answering machine messages were edited for content .. :)
I was just reading "The Challenges Facing Women in Music and other Scientific and Engineering Fields" and saw you uploaded a track - and I got to say this is awesome!!! Are the strings microkorg or one of those VSTs? They work really well with the voices - sounds film dramatic! Nice work!
You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…
thought,, id try doing something for valentines day so i chose two Beatles tunes,, amazingly (or not) i found them very difficult for me to personalize, ,,hope all you lovers have a good day and enjoy
Most of you probably haven’t seen Reg dance, so I should explain it to you.
When Reg takes his “classic moves†to the dance floor everyone else steps aside to just watch – well, that is everyone except a few of the most self confident…
Reg was in the library reading back issues of the national papers to keep warm because a cold spell had hit the country hard and he had no money for heating. At least he could sit in the library reading until 5pm when it closed. Some strange stories…
This is a tale of an anti hero Howard Marks who used the disguise of Mr Nice to cross borders and smuggle huge amounts of drugs, he was caught and sentenced to 25 years. He is now a loveable rogue playing to packed audiences telling tales of…

Reg has just gotta get on gone, he wants to move out from his old lady's into reg's place where it's happening, what with Elvis in the cellar and his visiting friends jammin all night, Reg is almost living there anyway. So now he has decided to…
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
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.
I hear bits where it's obviously not the "standard" tuning we've been trained to hear as "right" but this piece is quite beautiful to my ears!
