A traditional piece from the renaissance arranged for flute and two classical guitars.
I used meantone tuning which is probably a bit more authentic - though so very close to 12 equal that you may not notice the difference. http://en.wikipedia…

A steel string guitar improvisation I did last night before bed called “A Nagging Thought“. The piece prominently features a V+ to i (augmented dominant to minor tonic) movement. I usually don’t care for the sound of an augmented tried but in…
With Frank Miller on drums and bass as the band "2" - a rescue of a late 90's song grabbed from 4-track.
No Place
I'm lost, you're lost
Ships at sea
There is no place
We can be
I'm lost, you're lost
In this world
There is no…
What an interesting talk. I really enjoyed that, now need time to give it some thought.
The music is certainly eerie enough to accompany such a video. It's very loud!

I'm surprised I forgot to post this collaboration with Norm and Char.
Char performs the reading
Norm performs the percussion
Chris did choir, sax, bass, FXs

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.

Another work in progress down the cellar.............a first cut...........
I KNOW HOW LOVE CAN FEEL(Lyrics)
I know how love can feel
I know that love can heal
i know i kneel before you
i know it can burn you, destroy you
i know how love can…
Thank you for the comments on Sympathy for a Friend. I didn't use a synthesizer. All of the sound is from one take on my 19 note per octave guitar + effects.
Sort of a Tuesday improv...
Built up around a synth texture that I built up with:
Operator->FilterStation->Volcano->Kombinat->Panstation->RP-Delay
(what's the fun in having plugins if you can't abuse them)
Heres a collab with Wildgeas Music a beautiful bit of music hope i did it justice with the vocal............
Tomorrow (Lyrics)
I know the curse of the darkness is coming
those dark nights that will feed upon my soul
with no forward glance of tomorrow…
So after hearing some of Stephen Krell's outstanding picking, I asked him if he'd like to play along with any of my songs... I can't be happier with the one he picked to add his banjo to (seeing as how the song is written about my favorite Pete…
Different recording here as the electric guitar, bass guitar were not plugged in, just recorded raw with a power mic and then EQ'ed to make it sound amped - pardon mistakes!
Nice song - I did finally get around to listening to it :-) So this is literally unplugged hard bodied normally electric instruments - I've never heard of this being done before - awesome idea!!
So after listening to some of Chris Vaisvil's music for mapped midi and such I caught the bug of inspiration and did similar but in my own way. should of included extra things but there was the on the fly idea going.

baby! This is great!! I suggest running the mp3 through Paul's Extreme Stretch too if youu haven't taken a listen. What this reminds me of is some of the odd ends and bits on Beatles albums I always wished was longer. In places it sounds backwards, other places an orchestra tuning up, other places a spaceship. Wow. man I'm floored - you really have a lot, I do mean a lot in two and a half minutes!! Check out Dan Stearns - http://homemademusic.com/daniel_stearns/info_237.php I think you'll like what he is doing.

A song of hope...
and i apologize for the "noise"...I'll try to figure it out.
here are the lyrics.
waiting in the dark
never hearing the words
waiting for the spark
to revive a dying heart
so you think it's your fault
a buried belief…
Reg has never really understood Love.......... not in last 20years since first hearing this song .........it's still all a Mystery to him................
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
Oh that's pretty. Very beautifully done.
beautifully done, the sound seemed like perfection,to my ear. well played
Excellent dimensional ambient. And nope, it's not a Dulcimer but a Lute (Petit Italien). Thank you for your kind comments.
Worked great! Very nice! A perfect bedtime track man.
I really like this one - it has a nice style to it
One of the deepest and purest ambient/international piece Ive heard from you, the use of the Irish instruments are shivering!!
What an interesting talk. I really enjoyed that, now need time to give it some thought. The music is certainly eerie enough to accompany such a video. It's very loud!
.......i wonder how magic the mushrooms would be from Jim morrisons remains ............
Ahh, my comments sometimes don't make it in. I have to keep checking on that. Anyway, it was positive whatever I said :)
I love the steel!!! You got a great sound here and the playing is fantastic!
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!
love it ......
still excellent ....love char's v
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!

I love that metallic sound!
The cello work is especially good.
nicely done!!

I was going to listen to your song but then I figured I could to that tomorrow.
the individual samples for propane are stretched (and filtered) but not the composition.
luscious - beautiful I had not heard you until this morning and I'm glad I found your music and spirit.
nice spooky keys at 1:45 ish - very 60's psychedelic feel
well done!
I really this version!!
love it!
I hear a lot of melodies in this one. All of the drums seem to speak to me. Even the clave. Perhaps I'm finally getting it?
This is were its at!! Groovy!!
