Hello,
This morning I rendered a Mozart piano sonata. I can see from the midi file that this is a live performance captured from a midi keyboard into a computer. (A live performance doesn't always line up on the bar lines and other such "humanizations…

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.
5 string bass guitar solo.
Here is me and my 5 string bass, which I really, really like playing despite the pain in my pinky to make those stretches I hear in my mind. The name seems stupid - but way better than STE-018cn.
If you can add to…
Home made cannon in Just Intonation, cymbals struck by hand and bowed. (I don't own so many cymbals - I made a field recording while walking through the cymbal room at Sam Ash. A most exciting experience actually!) I did buy two cheap cymbals…

One of my early collaborations with Norm.
Down by the riverside
Where all of the fish had died
I threw my faith right in
When I saw it, it was sinking
Oh don’t you go
Don’t you even dare
Don’t run away until you’ve heard…

warning!!! this is a long 10+ min instrumental
It's a piece about 4 years old that was my first attempt at using synth voices,, I am still looking for a good one,, if anyone knows.

Enjoying a few tracks on this site with Indian flavor lately. My brothers legs were so red from slapping them to get the perc sounds in this track, I had to laugh, That alone was worth doing the song ;)
Enjoy # 92

On youtube there's a short video clip of guitarist Shawn Lane (R.I.P) executing an extremely difficult chord voicing that requires extensive finger stretching, which Shawn calls "the hardest chord in the world." I altered the chord a little bit…
This is the first tune I wrote using an actual loop pedal. I really like the rawness of its form. The sound is sharp, it kind of attacks your ear.. but then after it loops around a few times, it calms down and sinks in..
I expect that there will…
Its my first attempt at writing a piece for piano. I think this would probably best be played by two players..
if I ever write out the piece on paper, it might have to be so.
I would value any of your comments greatly, as I greatly want to improve…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…

Great graphic for this one! Ha!
Alien IV soundtrack. I'm with Norm, this gave me the willies.
great arrangement!
did you have a metronome going in the back ground that only you could hear? the beats seem so balanced in time.
Lovely exotic flavours!
Feels like underwater exploration - very atmospheric.

love the way you handled the Indian additions - lovely!
very nice - perhaps a bit more development would be even better!

so - if I have the fret board right - stacked 5ths ? Nice work here!
cool - I've not heard an oboe ensemble before!
Excellent - what pedal are you using?
this is excellent - I love what you do with the chord stabs towards the end especially!
reminds me of KD Lang for some reason - I hope that isn't bad.
I love your toys!
this is excellent
beautiful - just right!
another great track!
wonderful - and the lyrics are like my own life. ACL is great!
this is a great tune!! I love the banter and self references.
