Nice work, Greg. I'll have to try out GB myself.

I used to sing (badly) in a bad, but got kicked out because I only wanted to play a certain Irish band's music. We should give ourselves funny names. You can be the Corner, I'll be something Latin. We'll go far, maybe duet with Robbie Williams and camp out looking for aliens.

Ahh, that's crap. Just kidding, sounds pretty damn good.

Hello, nice work! I'm a guitarist/wannabe recording artist myself. Not sure if you are aware of a usb/guitar interface called TonePort...you can plug into the TonePort and just plug USB directly into your computer. It comes with all kinds of effects, speaker cabinet simulation etc etc, and it works with Garage band too. Just passing on some knowledge, as I feel I owe you one for all the knowledge you've passed on to us lurkers :o) Also, if you want to hear some of the stuff I've recorded with Tone Port, check out my myspace page at: http://www.myspace.com/tbgspace
cheers!

Greg: My whole schtick (masters thesis, blogbook, etc.) is that NONWESTERN tuning enables natural overtone energy transduction, NOT found in Western Tuning. So the perfect fifth ratio as 2:3 is C to G while the Perfect fourth is 3:4 as G to C, in violation of the symmetric basis of all western science. To put it simply the guitar still measures time as space distance and this cuts off the natural power of music (unless you rely on slide guitar and lots of note bending!)

Here's an excellent paper that builds on my previous comment about fish speech -- on how biological signals are BETTER than western science electronic signals:

So in my masters thesis, linked at http://nonduality.com/hempel.htm I give the documentation about how Yang is 2:3 and Yin is 3:4 and this is the basis for paranormal energy (like qigong).

I then connect this with UFOs and conspiracy research and more philosophy of science in my blogbook at http://mothershiplanding.blogspot.com

I have the deepest respect for musicians being an old sound man (70's-80's) but not being able to carry a tune - unless I was "roadying" in or out.

Ah yes, the old days of analogue tape and effects such as the Roland Space Echo 201 (tape loop) echo machine.

Have ever you messed around with MIDI files with software like "Cakewalk" and Creative's Audigy sound cards with Soundfonts (sampled instruments for use in MIDI)?

Cheers

PS: DO more!

I've always wanted to mix this song with "whale song". I think the plaintive guitar solo might closely reflect some whale song recordings I've heard.
Plus...I'd like to know if whales would respond to it.

...But too short
Continue continue continue...

Big hug!

Yeah I've read Michael Hayes but he still relies on western science so I consider his work to be in the realm of "techno-spirituality" and not accurate. Similarly the Egyptians never used the Golden Ratio, as it's an irrational number. Vedic math had an opposite solution for the Pythagorean Theorem, as Stephen Hawkings' details in his "When God Made the Integars" new book. In other words there's a difference between number as distance and geometric length as phonetic symbol: making a math system with a one-to-one correspondence of the two (number and geometry) destroys the natural resonance of the overtone transduction. Western science measures time as spatial distance so we've conquered space (supposedly) at the expense of time. The recent concept of "stochastic resonance" is the closest example of paranormal nonwestern music healing -- and it's applied to WHALE SONGS -- but the signal/noise ratio is still measured by a logarithmic system of math. In other words the westerner lacks the concept of consciousness as formless awareness -- something you can't see or subdivide but you can listen to it, with it resonating as complementary opposite harmonics.

The concept of complementary opposite harmonics has been applied to western science in a superficial manner for a long time. So it was recognized that chemical messages rely on activation (through one chemical) which at the same time suppresses another chemical that in turn does the opposite to the first chemical. Jeremy Narby was asked in his recent Reality Sandwich interview why the DNA is considered to be a spiral -- and he later references the yin-yang symbol -- but he basically says, "you'll have to read the book." Actually it's been recently shown that not only does DNA rely on biophoton transduction but also on "quantum telepathy." But, again, western science assumes that "noise" or uncertainty causes any superliminal "ghost" signals to manifest as simply an illusion. And, more disconcertingly, western science then argues for the increased use of noise in technology (as spirituality), as Bart Kosko promotes on C2C (Kosko's latest book is called "NOISE.")

The ecological crisis is due to a much deeper, and radical break in human culture -- something Professor Robert Sapolsky has delved into -- how sex is used to resolve stress and how the male climax activates the sympathetic stress system while the female climax activates the parasympathetic vagus nerve. That's a more fundamental "yin-yang" complementary opposite which is resolved by practicing the nonwestern music healing. The Bushmen healing dance was REQUIRED for males to learn so they could have internal climaxes, transduce the energy, and create healing light through the pineal gland, with the N/UM (Taoist jing) and !XIA (Taoist shen) and very strenuous training in fasting, sexual celibacy, strict gender relations, etc. The Bushmen culture is 90% of human history -- and no drugs were used by the males - yet the Bushmen culture is ignored by the whole "psychedelic-science-conspiracy" scene because of this deep psychological issue around sex/morality/language/math. The Bushmen had no warfare because they knew how to create ecstasy for the exorcism of emotional or electrochemical imbalances. It is the CONSCIOUSNESS (based on what Gurdjieff called the Law of THREE) that enables the harmony of energy-matter -- whereas the West is still fixated on a linear-time dualism (good/bad is not the same as yang/yin, etc.) Rodney Needham is the one anthropologist who pointed out that ONLY China created a civilization which still has the matrifocal foundations expressed -- everywhere else the left-brain dominance/right-hand dominance shut off the parasympathetic nervous system dominance for males so that the males do not have the electrochemical STAYING POWER to resonate with formless awareness as the source of light.

You gotta love a man who plays beautiful music, though a little rough it has the shape of a diamond in the rough. Could have used a little more than you posted but it was your choice to hide the "worse?" parts. Would love to hear a little more. There was a true sense of it going somewhere and wanting to come back a better piece. Thanks for letting us in on your musings.

Greg, I know you think I do silly posts on nothing but the Enigmni, but I once was an Executive at a Recording Studio. We had one national hit (Last Kiss) in the Americas and we thought we knew everything about music. It was a car-wreck after a few months our fine studio was empty. So, we went back to our day-jobs and started new dreams. Of course my ear is getting older.
