This is a piece using Garritan World Sample Set (Tibet singing bowls and Tibet bells) and pianoteq. It also uses a non-octave tuning that is an infinite stack of just major seconds (scala file below).

I saw discussion of Bleu tuning on the yahoo tuning groups – all of which were tempered to a pure octave. Embolden by Andrew Heathwaite’s 88 cent guitar I decided to try the tuning without tempering to make the octave pure. So I made a scala…

Well, I'm not Greek, but I think "Heptadecaphilia" means "to love 17".
Quite an impressive collection of "17 equal tones per octave" songs (20!).
If one wants to immerse themselves in an environment of tonality that is in stark contrast to the conventional "12 tones per octave" standard that has dominated human ears since the 17th century, this a great collection to explore.
It takes a bit of courage to give microtonal music a shot - at times it sounds blasphemous and dizzyingly disorientating to me. Stretching the definition of the established custom probably always feels like that.
The surprise is how quickly my ear adapts to it but it takes a bit of immersion for me to get to that point.
Strong work, Chris. I philia it.

Fisherman and the Siren by Lord Frederic Leighton
This is a blues collaboration between The TwoRegs (vocals / lyrics) and Norm Harris (percussion) and myself (17 note per octave electric guitar and fretless bass).
We hope you enjoy it…

I abuse Jeff Lynn's (ELO) wonderful song.
I sing it a minor 3rd lower then originally recorded by ELO since I wanted to use my 12-string guitar and it is a lot easier to play tuned down to reduce the tension a bit.

12 string rhythm…

Hello, I thought I'd upload a track from 1993's Strange Beauty today. It was reviewed by the WMR (Weekly Module Reviews) team (in 1996 I'm guessing.) These reviews were published on "uesnet" about music posts to the same system - Usenet is an…

I did this one to Norms track Proof....... it's about a disturbing dream...... i hasten to add it was Reg's dream not mine. So blame him................
my up coming IF comment: a most strange blues backing track but it works well. Some sounds remind me of the daxophone which I recently discovered. Very cool!
A song for a wet day in Sheffield Thanks Johnny.......another one for the Zep album.........I will have to sort out that first verse..........but i hope you enjoy..........
the zoom H2 is battery operated - or if you wish it can use an adapter. The guitar I used is this one http://chrisvaisvil.com/?p=436 Brad converted. Any noise is from the Marshall amp which seems to have a ground problem - at least in the room its in at the moment. I haven't been listening much because I've been editing a lot of video and it brings my machine to its knees.
Samples used in this tune from the NY subway this summer. Inspired by Dave Dunseath
3-12, just uploaded a new version of this with guitar- and some other changes
So this is the source for the mixes I am doing just performed / recorded / video-digitized this performance too. If you would like to remix this I suggest doing so from this file or letting me send you the 60mg 320 kbs file of these sounds…
this is really exciting progressive experimental sound and video Bill! You need to find a theremin - you playing it in a video like this would look so cool!
wow! the rabbit hole is deep here. this is one of your best ever. I'd love an album of this! Downloaded.
I'm checking out your other new ones after this finishes. I'm at 6 min right now.
Its done. wow - this is really something else. Excellent work!
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.
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.
Back to basics here. recorded with the Yeti mic.
Ramblin' round your city,ramblin' round your town
I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
My sweetheart and my parents I left in my old hometown…

ok this is the center portion of the the tape transfer and remix so if you like the intro and end so on this just gets more intense that it is centered and focused some.
to create your own new work play the video and music together .. each time…
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
I find this quite soothing but can't help feeling there's more underneath
I just love this site, theres something for everyone. Played with your usual skill
Oh my word. Completely creepy and affecting! And this track has a spookily wrong timer... (1.54, not 1.23.)
The timer on this 'ere track is lying. It's only 13 seconds out...but that's kind of eerie, no? I mean, what with it being 13 and all. Just saying.
Timeless and bright.
wow i found this song to be incredibly eerie lol
very stately ......medieval
I shall have to get this on my phone as an alarm ...........
Goes perfect with the image.
make sure that cellar doors locked we don't want it getting out .....excellent atmosphere.....
Remind me never to go in to your cellar. Very atmospheric - cine score me thinks?
Like the use of the brass vpices - and that bassline is nothing short of superheroesque!

One of my favorites man. Cool choice for a cover tune.

finally I get to hear this - oh this is so weird - Elvis does Beatles! I like the arrangement.
sad story - one that is all too real.

I do plan on making another. I need to research what wood to use instead of the cool looking but stab in the dark wine box this time.
Beautiful job on the vocals here Reg!

the lyrics are so true...
great guitar riff in the opening! And I love the vocal effects!!
Cool - but I think I've heard this before ;-)

oh wow - James Bond 22nd century style!
The Texas Tavern serves cheesy westerns (cheese, fried egg, burger, bun) in the downtown of Roanoke Va.
nice meditation!
this is extremely cool! much enjoyed!!!
great!!
I like this a lot - more than like this is great! To my ears it sounds like a microtonal progressive rock song.
I'm watching the video. This is truly impressive and progressive art!
