Quiet
Quiet thoughts for quiet fights
Tumbled dry and folded rights
Wrapped up in a candied floss
Shrink-wrap now removed and lost
Curled, crunched into a ball
Out the window, into a wall
Bounce and twist and turn and spin
The truth is beaten…
Calling
There ain't no future without a past
all of the promises that just won't last
I don't believe anymore
Just don't believe anymore
One became two in the sin of despair
beyond the moment where there was a care
I can't breath anymore
Just…
I generally take my Zoom H2 portable digital recorder with me on my trips to music stores to record myself playing equipment I can’t afford to buy. This is one of today’s recordings. June 24th 2011
I travel the synthesizer (two 5 minute tracks) and cymbal rooms at Guitar Center with my Zoom H2. Since I play in the same key more or less it works more or less. Thank you John Cage.
This is a Gibson Epiphone Roadie 1/2 scale guitar I picked up used at Guitar Center for $30. It was on the block because no one set it up. The intonation was horrific. And to top it off the bridge is ever so slightly too close to the nut. But…

Often I am asked about the difference between "normal" 12 equal tuning and microtonal tuning.
Thanks to a retuning by Gene Ward Smith to meantone tuning (I don't know which) you can compare this famous piece of music in the familiar 12 equal…
A manipulated ambient-ish piece
Sound sources, 5 string bass, 18" and 14" china cymbal, cornet, mixed tuning, 6 edo, 12 edo, unconstrained pitch.
kudos for anyone who listens to the whole thing.

This is a traditional piece that dates back to at least the 16th century. Since the version I have is instrumental I used what is called Pythagorean Tuning and period instruments to render it. (alto recorder, bells (crotales), fiddle, and bodhran…

Product of noodling around. Lead guitars are a combo of UAD's Nigel plugin and the Fractal Axe Fx. Clean guitars are the Fractal. The outro guitars are my Princeton Recording amp.

Reg has been reading a lot lately he's currently reading an interesting book called "Storming Heaven LSD and the American Dream by Jay Stevens" and so he decided to revisit A Toast to the Stone-age he did with Norm during Johnny's death and before…
Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
and all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've…
and I see I still have an alien. I guess the only thing to do is to accept that the charts at AT are meaningless. That is what happened at traxinspace.
Ill Drink a little slower
can't make my mind slow down
Im thinking of nothing
at a million miles an hour
makes me burn a little deeper
Chorus
But all my dreams are gone
you were there before it burned away
and all our love is done
im just looking…

I had this mellow tune hanging around when I heard "Love is Life" by The Two Regs and thought I need to catch the other Reg while he's around.
Lucky for me he had the time, the voice, and the melody. We created this lovely tune.
I was electrified…

My first upload.
This is a cover of probably my favourite song of all time, by The Waterboys, who were introduced to me many years ago when the highlight of my week was Thursday night TV, pizza and quaffing Baileys.
Thanks to Sister S for…
i think the title says it all.....the easy ones from the Beatles music book........More Regged up beatles but no Elvis he has gone off in a sulk he never did like them and he thinks were doing too much of them.......
Sometimes, you just have to make a track so that you can play that big ass gong - you know the one im talking about.
4 guitar tracks and one for the gong. Various FX for guitar including a sustain FX which seems to go well with the gong droning…
I think sometimes you have stolen the essence of David Gilmore and concentrated it in your guitar. Is that possibly the same gong I had the pleasure to meet after a cheesy western?
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.
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
Shout out for these lyrics - brilliant! "Without belief there is no fall The silent solstice will hear no call"
Ozzy Vaisvil!!!!!!!!
Wow, you're so bold! This is an awesome capture. Beautiful playing...
Love your sonic adventures!
This is pretty sweet - lovely laid back tones.
great how well you let sound that shrunky, grats with the tuning and tune :)
I've never seen a guitar like that. Cool!
Lovely upload - don't think I've ever really listened to this piece before. Interesting changes!
*hides*
Nice one mate really dig this.
Nicely done mate.
I like this mate really cool.

well I guess there goes any meaning for the charts at AT.
oh this is really top stuff!
and I see I still have an alien. I guess the only thing to do is to accept that the charts at AT are meaningless. That is what happened at traxinspace.
A suggestion. Delete this song and then upload it. That will get rid of the aliens.

very serene - I like it a lot.
almost joe cocker on the vocal Reg! sweet ballad!
I guess you brought your fans with you to AT. Where are you from?
great performance and song!
very unusual - reggae Beatles sort of?
I think sometimes you have stolen the essence of David Gilmore and concentrated it in your guitar. Is that possibly the same gong I had the pleasure to meet after a cheesy western?
I like this too - though the added dimension of the previous is better
cool piece!
great pop track!
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.
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!
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!
