An original composition performed on my jammer that continuously rotates through all of the diatonic modes with a never ending 2-5-2-5-2-5... chord progression. It is a GREAT exorcise for getting my fingers around playing every seventh chord as well as playing in every diatonic mode. Funny thing is, because this only uses the diatonic scale, this is the only song in existence that is actually EASIER to play on the piano than on the axis-49 remapped to a Wicki/Hayden Layout! Of course, try transposing it out of the C Major diatonic scale on the piano and that's another story...
This is an imitation Thummer ( http://thummer.com/easier.asp ) or "Jammer".

Older poem of mine set to music. Thanks for watching!
Lyrics:
I don't dabble in describing
I don't dance around prescribing
I hope to let it be
There's the thinnest line that's lining
The widest walkway that I'm walking
I hope to let it be
I reference rain, I drown myself
my deference vain, I frown and melt
but if I'm able to let it be
float more in fables, less in apathy
When I wither writhe and wonder
why I wander whence I pondered
I forget to let it be
And so die deep deserving deaths
devoid of sleep but crowded by rest
I hope to let it be
Tuning is TOP Hanson, I'm using software from dynamictonality.com for synthesis and Garageband for the guitar amp effects.

This is an improv using mainly the pentatonic scale. The pentatonic scale falls in a tight block in the center of the layout making for some really fun runs and glissandi.
I'm using the "Axis Tweaker" application which converts my axis-49 into a jammer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jammer_keyboard).
Ken Rushton (aka MusicScienceGuy), who wrote the Tweaker software, is a leader in making the playing of jammers possible:
