A composition for 3 piece jazz band, tenor sax, fretless bass, and drums in 14 equal divisions of the octave and 5/4 time. This was realized using Garritan Jazz and Big Band sample set and Sonar X1.
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.

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…

This will sound out of tune and very odd to most people... and certainly its not a "quality instrument". But it IS lo-fi :-)
I changed my $30 electric guitar from Just Intonation fretting to 14 equal notes per octave using cable ties, loaded…
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.
Vaisvil sent me this great Blues tune and so i threw it down the cellar and Reg jumped all over it with his point of view on love being a Four letter word..........
FOUR LETTER WORD (Lyrics)
Love
oh Love
it's not just a four letter word…
Reg has nipped down the cellar tonight to contemplate the big question...this is what he came up with ...he could be wrong who knows...and now he's going for a nice hot bath...............
Reg heard the color of the lonely street by Vaisvil and Norbert and got himself all Jazzy inside.... so he's released it .........by going out for a walk along the lonely street..........

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.

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.

very nice!
St Francis groovin' with all of the animals.
thanks for including me!!
Thanks for the lyrics and singing!! You sound great as usual!!
I love the cheerful message :-) Nice song - interesting production.
dramatic!
Nice guitar, vocal, lyrical work on this. The reason is the path of choices that define who we are - and yes it is inside.
Don't forget the original idea was Norbert at the piano!!
Great vocal interpretation! Thanks Reg!!
There ain't no one worth that.
yes! Nice gritty blues!
I don't hear anything amiss with your playing. Your vocals are as usual awesome.
speak up Norm I can't hear you!
the production is totally spot on - love the lyrics and music. I didn't know what the Angie Fights Crime project was about - I was missing out.
Enjoyed the music - great recording and song!
Desiree - I don't want to be just another notch on your lipstick case.
excellent!
nicely done! Naw she don't want me.
I'm just stunned at your Robert Plant voice in this. Wow.
maybe its for the best it didn't work out Reg.
