This is a study on using split keyboards and virtual instrument layering for live performance. More information is here http://chrisvaisvil.com/?p=1050 if you are into that sort of thing.
Also Lucian Freud has died today. I’m using one…
Heh, I couldn't believe I forgot to share this with my friends here. Well here is the story. I'm sure you'll only listen once and probably not all the way to the end.

Recorded for ImprovFriday - yes I flub some notes badly and that G minor had no right being there!! - that's the danger of a live improvisation, at least at my skill level. The guitar is an Epiphone C70CE classical acoustic with piezo pickup…

This is a captured and then edited live performance using the Sonar Matrix view using various samples - some of which were paul stretched.
I'm liking this - if only they had the possibility to change the pitch live it would be like sticking…

It took a bit of doing and a lot of learning - I've built my first guitar
I have a video of all of the stills I took while making the guitar with some demonstration music.
The music has mistakes - but it is the first time I played it - I spent…
well well, a bit of the CV magic goes a long way,,,first off i love it!! the softer somewhat understated approach is superb, is that clarinet in the main? love it's blue feel,,,, there's almost a slight klesmer feel to this (2nd listen),, you musta had a lot of fun doing this,,, the more i listen i, hear just how well you have orchestrated/put this together,, very very well done,, as always i am amazed by your broad range of skills and musicianship,, yours,,, Richard

A short improv piece. I'm starting a new project, where I will post at least one improv video/recording online each week, and at the end of each month collate them into an album.
This is the first one. Since July is almost over, I figure I…
This is a tune that's been on the back burner for a bit. I was looking to get a dark Ultravox kind of sound. Anyone feel like puttin' on their Midge Ure hat???
Anyway, these aren't the droids your looking for.
Move along..............Move along.
Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
A few of you know I accidentally wiped out one of my SD cards that had all my works in progress on it. I'm just starting to piece it all together again - A slow process. This was supposed to be a reprise to "In My Head", but ended up being in…
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
this is one inventive piece! what a mix - are you sure you didn't grow up south of I-10 in Louisiana? You have that Cajun blues thing down and who'd expect you could get oboe and bassoon to work so well with it! wow.
Hi - thought I'd throw up an older piece today while I have time (doing work at the new house later). This is an improvisation with my Fender Mustang / Roland GR-20 combination retuned on the fly to 9 notes per octave "Sorog" tuning. I think…
Yes, as a matter of practicality one performs with volume greater than the actual Fender (headphones to the GR-20, amplification of the Roland GR-20 ) - although I have mixed the "normal" and "new" tunings together and in some cases that sounds nice and fairly unique.
Really nothing more than some voice leading practice. Unfortunately, I had no keyboard or orchestral samples when I did this, so I used Lilypond and TiMidity++ and step programmed it in a text editor. I've since bought Cubase and EastWest/QuantumLeap…
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-)
nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey called me a few days ago with some urgency in his voice: "I must record this before…
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
Hi, The Suicide is programmed actually and uses Kontakt sounds. I have a large number of manuscripts which I created in college and shortly after (before 90's no computer program I had could let me score reasonably). In this case, The Suicide, was scored at an upright piano and I could play it at the time. Its really easy to play.
The last track that I'm going to upload for a while. I will be re-recording a few songs to release a LP under my own name. Hopefully it'll be good :)
This one is another exploration using loops and delays. I hope you like it!
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
I've been transformed into something 10 degrees cooler. Love the composition!
very nice!
Still, wow. Never heard of L. Freud, until now. thanks
This is breath stopping stuff. The gong is alarming and I found the whole composition extremely mysterious.
Great mix mate cool.
Cool mixing.
Agree with Norm it was fun ......now the important question is it going to pink or yellow........
Wow...very intriguing!
Yes, it's going somewhere though. You do love your oriental sounds don't you!
This makes me want to take some time and learn the OMPT too.
Nice one mate.
OMPT = Open Mod Plug Tracker - a program that turns your computer into a sampler.
Nicely done mate very cool.
Excellent stuff.....love the vocal adds tremendously to the madness........
Powerful Sound!
!!

Different and beautiful (full on effects) desecrating the beauty of all matter.
Well I love being in this lift. It can break down for all I care. Swoon!
Elevators never sounded so good!
Comments made by vaisvil
nicely done~!
interesting ! What is your set up? It sounds as if you were recorded in a hall.
I especially like parts I and II - nice work!!
boy, are you ever going through a creative period - everything is sounding top notch - I love the percussion + ambiance style here. World electro?
interesting aggressive minimal electro
nice themes!
Sam sounds like one of the Indigo Girls :-) Very nice song everyone!
this is very good - like the solid vocal harmonies and leads.
this is one inventive piece! what a mix - are you sure you didn't grow up south of I-10 in Louisiana? You have that Cajun blues thing down and who'd expect you could get oboe and bassoon to work so well with it! wow.
This is a great tune - I love the percussion and the deep deep sounds.
Yes, as a matter of practicality one performs with volume greater than the actual Fender (headphones to the GR-20, amplification of the Roland GR-20 ) - although I have mixed the "normal" and "new" tunings together and in some cases that sounds nice and fairly unique.
nicely done - sounds a bit floydish. Introspective Roger Waters.
all of the compositions are wonderful - I feel emotion from your work.
this is a very nice progression against a pedal point and exposition. I agree the room acoustics are really great - it sounds great!!
very classical period sounding.
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-) nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.
wow - this is complicated!! and cool!

wonderful!! So this is in part classical guitar? If so great tone!
bizarrely the opening bass riff sounds like the theme to green acres - a usa 60's sitcom.
