A homage to Steve Hackett (who wrote this piece)

This is played using John O'Sullivan's Blue JI tuning. Pianoteq and Kontakt didn't play nice together so I had add 4.81 cents to all of the flute notes.
With Frank Miller on drums and bass as the band "2" - a rescue of a late 90's song grabbed from 4-track.

Ships at sea

An animated score is below. Ironicly this is scored for a quintet - piano, guitar, bass, sax, and drums. Probably one of the more famous 5/4 time songs.

always liked this song. as a guitarist in the early 80's i played this song a lot in a band i was in. i went for a live sound on this so it would have a sort of an amplifier played live. i am the only one to blame for this song, as i did it all…
I think this needs a guitar solo but i'm not capable of doing it so if anyone would like to give it a go i would love to hear what you could come up with its in C. Otherwise i'm quite happy with it...now with a solo by Billy Jack
Please Don…
some mistakes, like playing live, but i make them right quicky. the song is for halloween and make of the lyrics what you will.
the drums have phaze on them. some of the soft guitars have phaze and flange. the beginning 2 1/2 mins are slow…
Chris Vaisvil sent me over some guitar to see what i could come up with…he also sent it to Phantasm777 to see what he could come up with on the drums and i might add has done a striling job with them….Chris then mixed it and sent it to me for…
yikes, hope i don't disgrace the beatles with this one. i tried to stay to the spirit of the song. obviously i didn't have a sitar and i didn't think i should need to re-create every sound effect they did, but i did many! one of my fav psyche…
i was trying to work on a piece for a shark video of mine, but this is what came out instead,, my piano moments collections are the small musical threads that emerge amongst/while i am working/thinking about other things,,,
Well last night just as i was of to bed , there was a knock on the door of the cellar and it was John & George they had come for a sess and i mean who was i to deny them…..they'd heard of the Beatle fest from Elvis…he could never keep quiet…

dr alfredo de pietra on guitars and myself on vocal duties. a slighty different mix from the two versions at songcrafters.
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
Fantastic, inventive stuff.
yes, sounds lovely to me. That poor little chap in the nappy. No wonder he looks so embarrassed.
Good stuff. Something I was in the mood for. :) --Jake
love it!

Chris, this is truly wonderful work! And this is my 2nd attempt at telling you!
Hackett and this one are a big fave of mine, nice take on a beautiful melody.
This is great!!! I'm loving the chorus.
That's some extreme baroque!
Smooth, real smooth.
Wow! This is going on my website. Thanks Chris. http://www.johnsmusic7.com
Wild indeed!
Brilliant!
That was nice!
I like that 'Careful with that axe Eugene' scream at midway. nice!
Ha ha, great! I prefer it to the original and I love the music. I like the way you used instruments for the harmonies.
We had this tune played at my dad's funeral. Nice arrangement Chris, lovely and jazzy! No, hold on .... Wow! it's great!!
Wonderful music to accompany such an emotive photo.
Sounds lovely and timeless! Some pretty!

Thank you for the listen and comment Richard! We ought to try a classical guitar and piano duet some day!

I like stretched music - I do a lot of it myself - did you stretch a version of the Beatles Dear Prudence?
I usually don't fav songs i'm on... but it really was 99% Reg and Phan so...
Thanks for cooking up this collab - you and Phantasm rock!
haha! this is great!
Kavin - is this the same vortex space? Do you have a picture?
It has a Peter Gabriel feel!
