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.

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.

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.
As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
I couldn't talk for a while afterwards and I felt like a moron after listening to my vocals, but it had to be done :) So no laffin'!
Our attempt to be on the roof of Abbey Road Studios if only for a moment!
The Lineup:
Guitars: gtalfsen
Piano…
drip by drip..
I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
this is great!!! I love the jazz / spaces blues vibe. The harmony leads are seriously impressive! How'd did you make your fretless? I recently made one myself - amazing how low the action is now.
Stealin' Pumpkins off the vine...
Such good fun I do it all the time.
Single Gon Bops conga track miced for heavy bass. And 2 tracks of cow bell, of course.
4/4 200bpm
this is ok - I must admit I'd like to hear this with some shuffling percussion and a bass line to paste it together - and bring out that lead instrument a bit more. Its always dangerous to compose someone else's piece - so forgive me if the idea sounds ludicrous.
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
Good mix. The whole track comes together very well.
Nice one. Sure was a sad day.
