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.

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.
This rough track uses my Blue Just Tuning system (go to www.johnsmusic7.com for details and a photo of the guitar). This is the same tuning Chris Vaisvil used in his Excluded By Peers piece. I hope to add some lead to the track soon.
This blues piece uses my Blue Just tuning system (1/1, 15/14, 9/8, 6/5, 5/4, 4/3, 7/5, 3/2, 8/5, 5/3, 9/5, 15/8, 2/1). For more on my tuning go to www.johnsmusic7.com
A 3 track improvisation on 7 congas roughly tuned by ear to a chromatic scale.

Jqscutt had this guitar riff that he sent me and we worked out a song with bass, rhythm, lead and drums over the internet. I posted it for a collab for some key additions. This was added by TiS friends K-Lyd and Coruz. Later, they found Liam…

this is the second part that was recorded during a acid studio work creation, just letting the audacity record what sounds that were while i did the midi/audio sound work.. :) am posting the same video work here because both songs are in the video…
That is a cool video!!! Psychodrama!! man this is some intense music and images! Reminds me of The Residents!!
To answer your question we got two ferrets from a shelter and one was so calm we called him buddha and so we called the other gandhi to match.
I am leaving this week for a while but couldnt resist adding as the third collaborator on this excellent track by Keith Landry and Osckilo before I go.
Added some bass,ambient stings, and of course sleigh bell
Hope you guys like it.
See you…
Perhaps you could use a little fatherly advice? Well here it is!

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!

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.

such lovely control of your two hands. I wish I could play like you.
When I was a kid this was one of my favorite songs to sing. It is so beautiful. Your arrangement and performance is to die for Richard. So lovely.
That is a cool video!!! Psychodrama!! man this is some intense music and images! Reminds me of The Residents!! To answer your question we got two ferrets from a shelter and one was so calm we called him buddha and so we called the other gandhi to match.
love it!
This is great. Excellent work everyone!
my comment didn't make it? Please, more like this - this is excellent Norm!!
it sounds like mourning - sad and (relatively) quiet screams. this is awesome work Steve.
