Save Prelude 01 Save Prelude 01
Here's a motif I've been working on. The rythm line is not 12 tone.
Save Prelude 02 - 12 tone Save Prelude 02 - 12 tone
ok. Here's the same lead with a "normal" rythm of going down 2 frets from root and up 2 frets from root. Amazingly, I just stayed on the Aeolian minor scale instead of spreading all over the place.
Sliding Slime Sliding Slime
I used the fretless guitar to slide notes from chord to chord to create a sweet, melodic tune.
Magic Door Magic Door
Here's an interesting fretless improv. The notes are not right on. Maybe I'll refine it into a song later.
headless mourning headless mourning
A song in minor to mourn the death of my guitar. It fell face first, and the head snapped right off! Good thing I have another fretless guitar.
Simple and Sweet Simple and Sweet
Chords based on denominators 3,5,6 & 9. Updated 10/08/04
Harp's Delight Harp's Delight
Here's a quick chordal improv based on the root E, 2nd (9/8), M3rd (5/4), 4th (4/3), 5th (3.2), & natural 7th (7/4).
Dizzy Dizzy
The notes are based on odd denominators 3,5 & 7. Some notes are very close to each other, causing a swirling or time-warp effect.
floating floating
Here's a smattering of 2 note chords. The chord combinations create a floating or dreamy effect. I used my Hondo guitar newly fitted with a plexiglass neck.
Six In The City Six In The City
This scale based on the denominator 6 is the most conventional sounding scale. It contains the minor 3rd, 4th, 5th, & two other notes almost symmetrically placed.
The 5th Elephant The 5th Elephant
There are 5 notes in the octave. The fractional denominator being 5. Each of the 4 notes other than the root has a similar resonance, making a happy family of sorts.
Nitrous Nitrous
Nitrogen is the 7th element in the periodic table. All the notes here are based on the denominator 7, and have a "lighter than air" feel.
InEight InEight
I had high expectations for this scale, composed of fractions of the denominator 8. Since the natural 7th, 11th & 13th are all located close to half way in between conventional notes, the scale sounds off tune.
24 Spoked Dharma Wheel 24 Spoked Dharma Wheel
An early experimentation on a 24 note per octave scale. The guitar's intonation is way off and is unadjustable, so the quarter steps are not exact. It comes across sounding very chromatic and left-brained... and a little warped.
My Job Sucks My Job Sucks
I tried take stress to the extreme. My boss was trying to scapegoat me for all his mistakes, and I listened to this to RELIEVE some stress!!!! Thank god I no longer work there.
Amoeba Racing Down The Cliff Amoeba Racing Down The Cliff
This is another amorphous song where modes have been lost somewhere. Am I going insane? Nope. Just lack talent.
Cliffside Banana Peel Cliffside Banana Peel
I slipped and fell ...off the cliff. My first visitation of amorphous.
Early Grunge Early Grunge
This is one of my early creations. I was in my early stages of morphing through the different modes. It came out surprisingly grungy.
'C' In Between 'C' In Between
The bass note is simply a C, but many of the notes are in between the 12 tone system, but on actual harmonics, or close to them, since I am not anywhere close to perfect.
6/5 equilibrium 6/5 equilibrium
I start with a Root, Major 3rd chord. I add a minor (6/5) and drop down to the point where the out-of-tune-ness of both notes resonate at the same frequency, which turns out to be about 1.7 fret drop. I also do the same going up, about 1.5 frets up.
