Lovely exotic flavours!

Feels like underwater exploration - very atmospheric.

Lovely.

And how he danced....

I dig the mood on this -- cool song!

Moody stuff! Cool early Nirvana feel, which is always a good thing.

Nicely done

sickly syncopated , nice lyrics

I'm going to put this in my profile if it will fit. the question of how microtonality is perceived and why is a hotly debated one on the tuning list. There seems to be, in general, but not in all cases, shared intervals around the world, like the 5th. However non-western cultures use, in general, microtonal tunings. !2 equal notes to an octave is a relatively recent invention in the west. 300 years ago it was common for what would be now called a microtonal tuning to be in common, everyday use. As best as can be determined the push for 12 equal was all about changing keys in a single piece of music. If you take the tuning of the middle ages, Pythagorean, you find you can't play in any key despite having 12 notes because the intervals between the notes are not equally spaced. As a result when you take a pure chord and move it up or down the octave with the same distance between the notes it could become something hideous. 12 Equal solves that problem at the expense of detuning all notes, some more than others.

great sentiment.. i feel this when i escape to the park in Autumn - brilliantly articulated. love the vocal delivery too. reminds me of something but cant think what.. eno? a bit? good stuff anyhoot :)

Hi Ricard, thanks for the listen and comment. It is probably hard not to hear 14 edo as out of tune since it so close to 12 but not quite there. I think then your sense of it being flattened and less bright is the result of the tuning.

interesting piece, all the notes/sounds seems a bit flattened out (ie less bright, is that a result of the tuning?

pretty cool

pretty cool,,

Ha, wow, fascinating!

I enjoyed this, it's most interesting and compelling.

A jazzy little peach!

An enjoyable and delightful song.

Love the jauntiness! Nice Bryan Ferry touch to the vocal. Very cool.

Beautiful!!Great work here!

my dad at one time helped with a radio show - if I remember correctly Tilden High School in Chicago had a radio transmitter. This would have come from there. My son traced this back to about 1923. My father tended to bring things home from where he worked, etc. He even brought home, as far as I could tell, the entire Data General railroad traffic controlling computer - vintage early 70's - the programs were loaded via punched paper tapes - when it got replaced. And no, it wasn't used on this piece. Ben has it. But at 1000 Hz he should be able to get it work if he feeds it the right kind of electricity.

I love the floating feel this has.

also - you have an astounding memory!

Ha - this riff is mine? I sure don't remember it - now I feel embarrassed about my comment :-)

excellent! I love the opening guitar riff and cool ending!

Nailed Tom's voice!

Very Tom Waits - love it!

wow your voice sounds so like the Kinks!

love your voice here!

May I invite you to participate at ImprovFriday? You may have some fun! http://improvfriday.com/

I found my answer "These pieces are recorded live in my home studio. They are made with an electric guitar played through a laptop and a dedicated hardware looper."

What do you have in your ambient rig? I am enjoying your work!

Hi Bethan - I have no idea who played it - but they did an excellent job. The midi file I found somewhere in the 90's.

wow - another side totally! I like the string / piano combination.

Thank you for the comments on Sympathy for a Friend. I didn't use a synthesizer. All of the sound is from one take on my 19 note per octave guitar + effects.

I love that metallic sound!

The cello work is especially good.

nicely done!!

excellent - this is a great song perfectly played and sung!!
