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.

Wow now thats cool great sound mate.

On the three GR-20 pieces uploaded 6/8/11 this is how it works. In a nutshell - my guitar replaces a keyboard - but can do more. Everything you hear is driven by me playing my Fender Mustang in one improvised pass. Now, for each song the Fender Mustang by itself (or through an amp simulator) is heard - this sound comes from the traditional pick ups on the guitar. Besides that I have installed a Roland GK-3 pick up on my Mustang. This pick up has 6 tiny picks ups - one for each string and connects to a fairly large switch and then a 1/4" cable with some 11 lines - regular guitar output and 6 outputs for the GK-3. This cable connects to the GR-20 synthesizer / midi interface. The GR-20 first decodes, almost instantly, the note each string is playing. It then converts that to midi pitch information and shoves that out the back. More on that later. Also, since the GR-20 is a synthesizer besides, it takes the pitch information and routes it to an internal sound (if desired). The really interesting part is what happens when I route that midi output to my computer. At my computer Sonar lets me assign that midi data to any number of synthesizers / samplers/ what-have-you all at the same time. So, if I want a voice or strings or piano - no problem. As for drums - Kontakt has a really neat groups of sampled drum sets that are a combination of "one shots" and smaller loops. So for instance on one of the pieces when I played the C below middle C I got a snare roll, play the B below it I get the accent that finishes the roll. So, by playing many notes I get a complex assortment of drum sounds that are in time with my playing. I've used this technique before - I am learning how to control it better - and the response is different for each of the dozen or so drum kits packaged with Kontakt - and then consider the effect of different tempos - the result is a fair amount of variety.

Peachy!

Jazzerremendous...........

I can listen to this all day! awesome!

Outstanding.

Love it

Killer sound and nice playing

some very moody blues there (not referring to the band)! Well played. Some old Beck/Clapton/Page sounds shining through.

cool composition man. you asked about "One Chord & Four Notes" - nope i don't think i ever used b major, only arpeggiated down Bsus2.

Nice one mate excellent.

I saw autoharp and I had to listen. I really like this song. Very nice vibe to it.

enjoyed - like Kate Bush meets Tori Amos at Apex Twin's home studio.

well, Iceland is about half-way - I say we have an Alontone party in Reykjavík - perhaps we can get Bjork to join in!!

this is lovely - way way too short!!

excellent - never heard the original but I love what you've done here.

awesome!!

once again - simply beautiful!

beautiful!

Love the vocal split - excellent rock ballad

hi Kavin, Wondering Aloud is on my list!

Hi Kirk, typically it is easiest to start talking about notes as numbers in the tuning. So say for instance a a fifth would be from note 1 (or 0) to note 12 (11). This page may help http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/19edo

Norm, just how many chickens have you raised? ;-)

this is an awesome tune!

Wow NPR - how cool!! And the music is great!!

Hi Kavin, if your new tuning changed the length between the 5th and 6ths fret for instance then, no you could not accomplish this by changing the tuning of the open strings. On the other hand you can make a small trip into microtonality by retuning the open strings a quarter flat or sharp relative to each other.

very good - very very good!

good blues - could be longer with MTC shredding some blues licks

nice work!

excellent song!

Quite excellent and I'm only 2 minutes in. This is an amazing composition of ever changing aural landscapes. Wonderful!! and I'm 14 minutes in. At 15 minutes in I downloaded this piece. By 21 minutes you have taken me to a new never seen before aural vista overlooking the eternal. What an incredible transformation to an organ-ish sound at 25 minutes. Wow... the symphonic length was filled with symphonic sound. I love your piece! The closing flute like tones from your ebow is just perfect.
