A solo electric guitar piece. Strat copy in 17 edo, Marshall amp, zoom H2 recorder.

This is a composition for Jazz Quartet – Tenor Sax (sorry for the unrealistic stray notes), fretless bass, piano, and drums. All but the drums were preformed on my Fender Mustang + GR-20 retuned on the fly by Fractal Tune Smithy. The tuning…

This is a video I made that uses heavily modified voice samples from the human lattice at the xenharmonic praxis summer camp and video footage from a cave I visited in Virginia. The piece is in JI since that was the point of forming a human lattice…

I used a folk scale from Rajasthan India

And another one I didn't share from the same day. I must of been in a funk where it all sounded really bad. This improvisation concentrates more on melodic aspects of 22 edo though there are some harmonies.

A classical guitar solo recorded via a Zoom H2 under the watchful eye of my cat Belle.

I do have video of Jacob playing the udderbot with the band - but right now I'm still putting together my gear from storage and this was the best I could do with Windows Live movie maker on my laptop. So for now - enjoy the sound of Jacob jamming…

We forgot to mention that Reg visited Norm's place a little later and added some vocals. The video is a ride through the US state of Virginia. The Texas Tavern serves cheesy westerns (cheese, fried egg, burger, bun) in the downtown of Roanoke Va.

Norm and I in a room at his house. See the video for the reason for the name.
