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…
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…

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
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.

this is too special for any words right now. the effects are real for art meaning and mind
can I say the cricket effect works like a scream ,, listening now best thing is the 4:33 min length of this.
nice work here. // the avatar I have now is an emo emu that has been warped a little in gimp :) these textures in my latest composition are from 2004 august 22 where i have layered the original tape recording after putting it on cd :) // you know I do not know this song by Firth but it is pleasant for a melodically worked piece. did you play this or just use a midi of the piece then orchestrate the work?
Freakin sweet! :) Have you heard the NESkimos?

Pretty cool band, only have one cd, and it's a burned copy, but they start one of their songs shouting the "extra lives" cheat code to the original Contra. Up,up,down,down,left,right.left,right,b,a,b,a start...haha...can't believe I remember that....
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…

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.

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 :-)

Took sandbag's [Andromeda 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/andromeda-1) and applied some BigSeq2 and LiveCut.
Added a little FM8 underneath.

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!
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
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!

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!
