Hello guest (75.27.136.221)
I'm just following my ears. I suspect my mind imposes more order on the chaos than just running wild - also I suspect it is not a strict "anything" like a MOS.
And another one I didn't share from the same day. I must of been in a funk where it all sounded really bad. This improvisation concentrates more on melodic aspects of 22 edo though there are some harmonies.
If I had a 2^ n/22 keyboard handy I could learn a lot from reproducing the melodic phrases in this piece. Are you sticking to a particular mode here, maybe one of Erlich's decatonic 22 edo modes, or are you just canoodling around without a moment of symmetry?
Nice job, Chris! I really like the way you developed the piece! Sounds really good! Part of the melody made me think of a rhythm of Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box, which I happen to like quite a bit. Thanks for posting!

Here is something I had laying around that I forgot I did. A 9 edo improvisation with my Roland GR-20 + Fender Mustang combination. This will probably sound pretty foreign and / or out of tune. To me it sounds oddly funky in places like at 0:22

We forgot to mention that Reg visited Norm's place a little later and added some vocals. The video is a ride through the US state of Virginia. The Texas Tavern serves cheesy westerns (cheese, fried egg, burger, bun) in the downtown of Roanoke Va.

I do have video of Jacob playing the udderbot with the band - but right now I'm still putting together my gear from storage and this was the best I could do with Windows Live movie maker on my laptop.
So for now - enjoy the sound of Jacob jamming…

Did the guitar tracks first, followed by bass, then drums and vocals last. I wrote this song in a bookstore, after I came home and recorded it, I realized I made the song too short for all the lyrics.

I suck at most electronica genres (like trance - I don't like the 4 on the floor aspect) and I don't think I've given country a serious try yet as well.
Sung By John B - he also does most of the instrumentation. My contribution is simply that I wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and if you listen closely I play the guitar parts. A cross Atlantic collaboration.
two recorders and a flute get together in the back of a countryside English church late in the afternoon.....

Well, since I have not used MOTU SI I can't compare but you can since you can hear my Kontakt 4 sample set. Sonar 8.5 was / is a radical upgrade if you write more than classical music. But if one were strictly classical composition minded a better (rational!) program than Sonar to score with would make more sense to invest in than sonar 8.5 . I look forward to hearing what you are working on!
I own the piano score but I found an accurate score as a midi file on the net and started from there. (That saved a 2 or 3 hours at my pace.)
Then I loaded the file into Sonar 8.5 and orchestrated it by assigning instruments to the VSTi called Kontakt 4 and its Vienna Symphony samples. Adjusting velocities / color / and a few notes took 3-4 hours. The most difficult part was creating the final mix which I'm still not 100% happy with.
Hi Richard, there is a contest to make microtonal demo tunes with MOTU. Selection of contestants is over and now we all must make at least 3 microtonal demonstration pieces. The Dance of the Unicorn is in a werckmeister equal beating variant.
this prelude is very nice. the descending register pattern is a nice variation. I see you sneak in the left hand :-)
Wanna go for a ride? Hop on in! (Many thanks to JQScutt for his excellent guitar work!)

Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race…
Took sandbag's [Andromeda 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/andromeda-1) and applied some BigSeq2 and LiveCut.
Added a little FM8 underneath.
And this happy little accident came out.

Love like a salt river washing away
Love's like sunshine evaporate
Love like floating candles blowing away
Watch out for the way you'll compensate
When I've seen all you have to give
When I'm still hungry
I need more than this
Tell me how…
yelyah - “solo piano 20100411” semi live improv
Semi live in that I had an idea of where I wanted to go, but never locked the melody in (as is probably obvious).
Hi Richard - I don't like being bored :-) I also am experimenting with some success with microtonal music as well. Drop by www.notonlymusic.com and www.chrisvaisvil.com some time.
Now.... this is a lovely sensitive piece!

Killer vocal additions Reg!

I love your voice reef. Excellent tune and production - your acoustics sound especially nice.
This is brilliant! Would you consider doing a collaboration sometime?

excellent collab!!
nice work - very rich - listened to it several times.

Great vocal harmonies!
