Instantaneously Yours is an internet collaboration between excellent percussionist Norm Harris and myself. I added 12 string, fretless bass and fretless ebowed guitar to Norm's Groove for Saint Ambrose. Since this was done for fun as a serial…
This is a 19 note per octave solo electric guitar improvisation played in classical guitar format recorded in Sonar X1 with Guitar rig and Lexicon reverberation. Makes it hard to classify for what audience would want to listen to it I guess. The…
Goodness knows why it got me thinking about Bomber Command WWII.
As you know, I do not get ambient tracks, but I was playing solitaire here on the laptop while listening to this epic and I really enjoyed it.
I liked the 10 minute mark where we had a different texture for a while too.

Excellent! Something between Ummagumma and Obscured by Clouds.
I've looked at the UnTwelve website, as you suggested. I'm not sure I'd able to compose anything in microtonal, but I might give it a try.

I got to play this $3,000 8 string baritone Taylor today. Had I $3,000 at all it would have been mine! It has to be one of the best guitars I've ever played and an ingenious string combination.
This is a one guitar (Fender Mustang) improvisation leveraging my GR-20 into bass guitar, strings, synth wash + strumming and percussion. At 2:58 my low A string breaks and then my left forearm and hand cramps up. But it was fun as it lasted.
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…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

nope - those are chinese gongs - some just have natural phasing - I don't know how that works but there it is. Also, according to the gong samples I have you can get a large number of different sounds depending how they are struck. Heck, I forgot, Norm has a gong - a pretty big one too - I bet he could make you some custom gong samples if you'd like.
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
great collab gents.......I feel a song coming on .....,love the Indian vibe running through......
You always come up with something different. Well played!
Damn- I can hear some really delay drenched psychedelic guitar over this. Very cool!
Weird title! This has a most Middle Eastern flavour. Nice vox there Chris. Sounds authentic!
Goodness knows why it got me thinking about Bomber Command WWII. As you know, I do not get ambient tracks, but I was playing solitaire here on the laptop while listening to this epic and I really enjoyed it. I liked the 10 minute mark where we had a different texture for a while too.
I thought that all worked really well together. Brave man for trying something different.
I love this song. We used to give it welly in morning assembly at the convent. Wonderful stuff!
I love that tone.
Excellent! Something between Ummagumma and Obscured by Clouds. I've looked at the UnTwelve website, as you suggested. I'm not sure I'd able to compose anything in microtonal, but I might give it a try.
Now I want noodles.
got a vibe of Black Sabbath running through....haunting vocal.....excelllent ..love that dark vibe ........
an intriguing listen - nearly mashed up my speakers but was worth it!
Nice!
Wild tune.
Great Job Chris...loved it
Cool! Always wondered what those things were like. Thanks!
Not too repetitious at all. Very nice!
I forgot to mention I really like this, repetition and all!
A most enjoyable and perfect accompaniment to my solitary breakfast. Ah, that's lovely Chris! What coins are these then? Aztec?
I pressed the wrong button again. Oh I'm so rubbish! Try again Bee! I said, Cool improvisation here. Gutsy and string snappingly good.
