i like to walk on a day like…
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?

Album:
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.

Fulfilling a request by Acid
The video is the whole point / show here. Please put into the comment section what you think the occupants of the car you see at 1:00 where thinking. Or alternately the kid on the bike at 1:20.
Field recording modified by using the entire recording as a template for noise reduction. The remaining sound was surprisingly melodic, and includes birdsong (mourning dove and sparrows most prominent), passing light aircraft, emergency siren…
The coffee table gang helped me round out this one that I shared earlier. I love this version with Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor's wonderful talents on the backup vocals and guitars. I like how my ukulele blended in on this version.
Sometimes…
I got nothing.
Insert some random post-apocalyptic sci-fi narrative here, involving Speak And Spells achieving sentience and taking over the world, only to be thwarted by the Amish.
Alternatively, "Based On A True Story" something something.
Bringing back a song from 2011 with a new twist. The song now has drums, bass, and an orchestral backend. This is hopefully part of a larger collection of me reworking older songs with orchestration.
Many thanks to Brian of A Beautiful Scene…
Waiting for the AotM - well, no, not here, and Mysterium appears to have taken TiS down a rabbit hole. Thanks for the listen and comment. This is a nice smooth track!
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
Good mix. The whole track comes together very well.
Nice one. Sure was a sad day.

I think your vocal is perfectly good - lovely interpretation of a fine song!
Dreamy...sweet...heartbreakingly beautiful. (Perfect image.)
Nicely done!
Good one Chris. Creditable vox too!
pretty creepy. But cool.
Nice one mate

excellent! noise reduction is an excellent technique!
This works well! Great dexterity on the 12 string!
Beautiful Ben!
yes!
Quite like the solo here No doubt the Orange one will litigate until a cheese burger claims him.
Best take on the proceedings I've heard
excellent!
wild ride!
beautiful!
I bet this isn't in 12 equal :-) !!! Nice sound and creative idea!
Texas Instruments wants world domination....
nicely done!
Whoa!
Very unusual piece, and especially for your typical very thick wall of sound collages. Very good, I enjoyed the piece!
Oh, this is so beautiful! The slide is achingly sweet.
This is superb!
This an impressive combination!
I would implore you to not quit. Ultimately don't we all make music for ourselves? Strangely beautiful piece!
