A world premier albeit a bit noisy - Gandhi ferret snoring.

This piece is part of a review of John O'Sullivan's book The Mathematics of Music. You can read part one here. http://chrisvaisvil.com/?p=317

This is a solo piano piece performed on a M-Audio 88es driving pianoteq which was re-tuned to Gene Ward Smith's 17 per octave equal beating dwarf(<17 27 40|). The piece was originally recorded in pianoteq using the standalone mode and then&hellip;

damn.... there it goes.

an improvisation with Kontakt's morphing vowel choir

This is for today's Improvfriday. Being all a first pass improvisation against a drum beat - there are mistakes. I did go back and spiced up the drums just a bit. everything but the drums is my Roland GR-20

this is from last week's improvfriday and was performed on an AXiS 49 driving Kontakt's sax ensemble and jazz drum kit. The deep reverberation is on purpose.

This is an improvisation on a theme I play all the time when I sit at the keys. Sort of a warm up I've been playing for a very long time. It is very simple and I may have used it here already. My apologies.

Today I received my AXiS 49 midi controller from C-Thru Music. It is excellent and has a groovy “selfless” mode that gives one 98 individual notes – more than a standard piano. I couldn’t resist trying my hand at an improvisation. The&hellip;

I am writing some lyrics for this. I wish Bethan or Tess would consider singing on this short song. I had plans - But then other things happened.

This is a solo piano performance using an M-Audio 88es midi controller, Pianoteq, and a tuning I devised that is based on a harmonic series segment reduced to one octave. Online play and download plus scala formatted tuning are here: http&hellip;

A string improvisation

All of this is performed - Norm's many percussion devices, Fender Mustang, and GR-20 driven by the guitar for the rest of the voices excepting a bit of a choir at the end.

I extended my very short Halloween piece - doubled it in length - not too hard considering it still is only a minute long. This is using the Garritan Personal Orchestra sample set. 2 organs, piano, flute, bassoon.

Last one for today, promise. Two Old Friends - again from 1983 and created using 2 cassette decks,4 channel mixer, Fender Mustang, vocals. Lyrics by Evan Harrington. Two Old Friends Leaves bear mark of the changing of season Soon to be crushed&hellip;

I also recorded this once through on the Martin and Zoom H-2 yesterday as well. One day I'll do a decent version of this, I promise. For now this is my modest Happy B-day to John.

I'm working on making this old song from Two Old Friends into a better version. Today I got inspired to pick up my daughter's 3/4 size Martin (which makes the runs easier) and recorded this on my Zoom H2.

I resorted to some unmarked old CDRs in the car today on my way to and from my Dad's (I brought him a new laptop) and found one of the earlier collaborations between Norm and myself. This is dedicated to the families who have (and still&hellip;
