A crazy zaperish Grooms nightmare dream .......way too. short a piece of excellence........loved the bass working its way through the crazy vibes going on.....loved it fav'd and saved
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…
This is a composition that was realized by playing a Fender Mustang which has a divided pickup connected to a Roland GR-20 guitar to midi converter / synthesizer. The GR-20 generated piano and saxophone sounds (in two passes) which were re-tuned…
Berceuse (means cradle song - or lullaby) by Chopin Op. 57 midi recorded by Ron Lubetsky, M.D. in 1997. And indeed I can tell from the midi file this was a real performance. I ran it through pianoteq in Sonar X1. I hope you enjoy it.

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.

Field recording modified by using the entire recording as a template for noise reduction. The remaining sound was surprisingly melodic, and includes birdsong (mourning dove and sparrows most prominent), passing light aircraft, emergency siren…
The coffee table gang helped me round out this one that I shared earlier. I love this version with Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor's wonderful talents on the backup vocals and guitars. I like how my ukulele blended in on this version.
Sometimes…
I got nothing.
Insert some random post-apocalyptic sci-fi narrative here, involving Speak And Spells achieving sentience and taking over the world, only to be thwarted by the Amish.
Alternatively, "Based On A True Story" something something.
Bringing back a song from 2011 with a new twist. The song now has drums, bass, and an orchestral backend. This is hopefully part of a larger collection of me reworking older songs with orchestration.
Many thanks to Brian of A Beautiful Scene…
Waiting for the AotM - well, no, not here, and Mysterium appears to have taken TiS down a rabbit hole. Thanks for the listen and comment. This is a nice smooth track!
Comments on vaisvil's stuff

Simple and impressive little tune :-)
Sax is a great touch!
Very much so.
Chilling stuff! - Wonderful to hear this!
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.

excellent! noise reduction is an excellent technique!
This works well! Great dexterity on the 12 string!
Beautiful Ben!
yes!
Quite like the solo here No doubt the Orange one will litigate until a cheese burger claims him.
Best take on the proceedings I've heard
excellent!
wild ride!
beautiful!
I bet this isn't in 12 equal :-) !!! Nice sound and creative idea!
Texas Instruments wants world domination....
nicely done!
Whoa!
Very unusual piece, and especially for your typical very thick wall of sound collages. Very good, I enjoyed the piece!
Oh, this is so beautiful! The slide is achingly sweet.
This is superb!
This an impressive combination!
I would implore you to not quit. Ultimately don't we all make music for ourselves? Strangely beautiful piece!
