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.

Ships at sea
There is no place
We can be

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.

As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
I couldn't talk for a while afterwards and I felt like a moron after listening to my vocals, but it had to be done :) So no laffin'!

I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
this is great!!! I love the jazz / spaces blues vibe. The harmony leads are seriously impressive! How'd did you make your fretless? I recently made one myself - amazing how low the action is now.
Stealin' Pumpkins off the vine...
Such good fun I do it all the time.
Single Gon Bops conga track miced for heavy bass. And 2 tracks of cow bell, of course.
4/4 200bpm
this is ok - I must admit I'd like to hear this with some shuffling percussion and a bass line to paste it together - and bring out that lead instrument a bit more. Its always dangerous to compose someone else's piece - so forgive me if the idea sounds ludicrous.
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 think I like this one the best out of the bunch - especially during the choir.
crazy trip through a negative universe!
truly wild excesses of sound!
I really like this!!
