This is a composition for Jazz Quartet – Tenor Sax (sorry for the unrealistic stray notes), fretless bass, piano, and drums. All but the drums were preformed on my Fender Mustang + GR-20 retuned on the fly by Fractal Tune Smithy.

This is a video I made that uses heavily modified voice samples from the human lattice at the xenharmonic praxis summer camp and video footage from a cave I visited in Virginia. The piece is in JI since that was the point of forming a human lattice…

Apologies to Peter and the rest of Genesis - from back when they were good - 1974

Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
I Ate My Xanadu
ADDENDUM TO THE INCIDENT REPORT
It’s burning.
Nothing else matters.
Nothing.
It’s burning and I love it.
It’s so clear
what is illusion and what is real.
I love the clarity.
I could drink it.
I could eat it.
I could…
This is a piece using 2 keyboards, an M-Audio 88es (vocal choir) and Alesis Q49 (brass choir) in 17 notes per octave. The objective was to use some functional xenharmonic chord progressions. I would be interested in knowing if you perceive the…
one could make any brass instrument to play in any temperament by valve placement and tubing length as far as I know. On the other hand 24 note per octave (and finer divisions) are avalable on wodwind and brass with using alternate fingering. On a recent trip to Urbana for a performance Peter's composition called for french horn playing in harmonic series tuning - but I guess the actual use comes close to 72 equal. The video of that is here: (go to about 16:40 .) http://www.youtube.com/user/clones98#p/u/30/OjY4LwBV8sM
Reg has got a kinda Bluesy political thing going on this one.....he's been reading the paper and watching the news..........it's a little too long but i think he makes a point.......do you?
Two ambient guitar tracks recorded independently and stick together. I broke my rule of not using distortion on a BL piece, for the first time, believe it or no.
I'm not on top of it as usual, guys. But I did manage to let Greg Brady out of my basement and set him free. This is his testimonial regarding the incident. I hope he can forgive me.
Once upon a rainy day, we were out in the farm fields waiting on the sun to break through the gloom. We arrived in this dark world naked and were washed clean waiting for the sun. Little darling, here it comes...
This is the first demo [Sister Savage](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) and I have made for our RPM 2011 album.
Although I've uploaded a copy here we'd be really grateful if you would listen to the [version uploaded by Sister](http://alonetone…
Normal IL - tantalizing close to Urbana where musicians are turned to the darkside of microtonality. Come, let me show you the power of a 19 note per octave guitar! Seriously - if you are interested at all you may want to make the drive.
Along with her magnificent harmonizing vocal tracks, Inge sent me one track which was crashed by her 2-year old son Willem. He pretty much takes over the whole operation at about 3:00.
In the background you can hear the original rough vocals…
I Got the Idea for this tune when I left Geir at Stanstead Airport.
Recorded it Last night after a Gig....

The closing round was delightful as was the udderbot in the final song. I should probably make an udderbot...
I love the way the violin takes over from the voice in the run up. Clever! Nice track!
Smack damn, microtonal jazz. Nice Chris. I really like the floating bass in this one. And the Sax of course.
really diggin the blues tune. Shocking photo
Is this the strat you took the frets off sanded down, etc? Sounds great. Crispy.
Is that Zoom H2 battery operated?
Mesmerising!
Glad you're all safe. Digging these bluesy tones. -Tess
Great playing mate. That's one huge storm.
Very cool mix mate great sounds.
I'll take this track as a sign that you survived. nice jam.
Dang. That swings!
Such a refreshing piece man!
Frisky jazz! -Tess S
OOOH thats jazzy......love it
if I heard this down that cave Chris I think I'd get the heebyjeeby's.....superb atmospheric sounds .......
It is so nice these effects and sound developments I know there is lots of things like this out there but your work is IMO better.
Put on a fox head mask and channel Peter Gabriel. Nice!
Now that's nice mate very cool.
Smooth groove! awesome guitars! this one hit the charts!

I see you've taken up body levitation as evidenced by your avatar picture. :-)
your new avatar is freaky!
very cool sound - I like this piece quite a bit!

funky indeed!!
cool reg!
yes I do. Nice piece!
this sounds fantastic!
I know you've seen this somewhere before - but it bares repeating. This is a really nice piece - excellent improvisation!!!
this is so *strange*
I expected Beatles - boy was I surprised!! This is a wonderful bright, bubbly pop song - almost Beach Boys - but really good and modern!
nicely done - I enjoyed listening and especially the climax at 3' as pointed out.
very nice!
like I need to be encouraged!

like the indie vibe on this one!
beautiful piece!
nice jazzy number!
I love Inge's voice! - so rich. BTW - what guitar do you play - it sounds quite nice. A very good tune you both put together here.
I love your voice in this. Reminiscent of Gordon Lightfoot.
