New Quartertone Virtual Guitar/R&R Band Piece

I've uploaded a new piece, essentially a virtual guitar (physically-
modelled strat) improvisation over a ground, to my
electronicscene.com page:

Road Trip II

http://electronicscene.com/harrington

Here's the blurb:

a tripped out virtual guitar rock and roll electronic hallucination,
this time using microtonal stylings from beyond... tastes of floyd...
guitar part uses a quartertone tuning for vaster and slower pitch
glides... dark and mysterious streaming through fields of madness...

Hope you guys like it...

Great new music by Jeff Harrington.

Another terrific microtonal piece, Jeff! Always musical, always expressive.
It clearly shows what can happen when the composer listens carefully to
their work. The natural flow of the music, and the joy that you can hear in
it are the result. I really like it.

I had a teacher once in college who said that the music should sound like
the composer really heard their own music. Jeff is a composer who listens,
and creates great music. I'm so glad it's also microtonal!

***Is this a CSOUND piece?? Probably, because the sampled sounds are
really great.

Thanks, Joe, nope, no Csound was harmed in the making of
this 'song'. It's all my Yamaha EX5 which has amazing physically-
modelled guitars. These are sketches (this and Road Trip I) for a
series of pieces for the contemporary chamber orchestra - or as it is
more commonly called, the 'rock band'.

:)

Thanks for checking it out... It's pretty loose but I'm trying to
come to grips with how so much instrumental performance power at my
disposal - re distortion, overdrive, amp simulation, and real
composition might co-exist. The overall intent is to create a series
of works that I can realize myself - as a canonical recording, cd -
and produce a score for others to perform.

Hey Jeff,

Yes, it's a "me, too" message: I enjoyed your current trips.

You know, I bet other people work (have worked) this way, but I don't know I've seen anyone put it into words. And it seems like an *execellent* way to grow your repertoire, and to be able to share it with a wider audience. Very smart, and probably very satisfying as well...

Cheers,
