I used about half of the tones produced in my stop sign video as samples looped in Kontakt and improvised on an 88 key controller in 17 equal notes per octave. Not something you'd listen to for enjoyment.
In 2009 I ran an internet contest where contestants had to use one or more of the samples provided in their piece. Here I put together a number of the samples I provided into one piece.
Original Artist's description:
A cover of George Harrison's All Things Must Past created to mark TiS' imminent passing. Yes my voice sucks - if you want to take a shot at singing it contact me. now Norm joins in - any more takers?

Classical Clones
Artist's description:
Something I found on tape - the best of the 6 pieces.
Me preforming a Villa Lobos piece about 1977 - a recording made while preparing for a recital…
I like IT!!!,, very nicely played, also you continue to amaze me with your production intensity, ah i hear Pyewacket,,, mine Dachshund Howie,, has a particular habit of howling whenever i play Bach,,, it's sort of funny (to me at least) i have thought of making a video of he and i in duet,,, anyhow well played friend
This is a combination of field recording, slicing up a guitar performance into loops, using loops and effects that came with Sonar X1 in Sonar's matrix view with a bit of editing of the matrix performance.
Can't Stop Myself by Chris (Vaisvil) and the Clones - Gothic Techno-industrial metal - ISDN stereo => from 1996
Can't Stop Myself
the thoughts they in my head
spinning around
the thoughts they eat my head
and rip me down
they want me to do…
Well, I should give some background. Sometimes, for me, the difference in tunings are hard to discern - I don't have perfect or even good relative pitch discrimination. So I can get fooled. The Prelude for a Centaur tuned piano was actually composed…
One could use this to compare the changes I made to accommodate the change in tuning because this is the Centaur tuned piece but I changed the master tuning back to "standard" 12 equal.

Chris sent me over this track and i got to wondering what i could do to add to it. The tragedy of the Russian plane flying back from Egypt came to mind .....

Just another obscure saint. Not much known about him. Probably much more important and significant than any of us will ever realize.
Oh, yeah, and then there is Saint Simon. Same thing for him.
RIP Alex.
3 Congas, Vintage Bass Cocktail…
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
This one is still in progress, Jon the guitarist sent me a riff which i stuck together to get a kinda structure...so this is take 1....

In case you are in the mood today to kick some ass with Mike and me.

Reg is watching the news again ......and it always gets him thinking.....
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?
Some are wanting
some have all they need
some are bleeding
getting down on their knees
some are congregating
to start another war
some…
wherever you happen to be
she's not too far behind
looking for her apology
you know she'll never find it
it's the same song that she sings
and it drowns out everything
as she's chasing after you in the rain
all the wrong ways that i went…
This is the first time I have played in drop D
this is a Springsteen song that he borrowed the title from a Pete Seeger song..and I like the way Warren Haynes plays it live...so here is my humble attempt at it...
Just like two sides
Of the same silver dollar
We’re not alike but still the same
And your big life
Makes mine look smaller
I wonder if you know my name
I wait around
You might be calling
A telephone that never rings
End of the day…
My first attempt to work with loops I created using midi.
With Mr Sandbags (reichatron). There's a really cool version with guitar added by Mac somewhere too, but it's weirdly vanished! Will add as soon as I find it.
