Left here smilin' but you came back mean
Ain't no need to tell me, I know where you've been
Ya tell me you love me, an' you really care
an' if you just had some more, you'd be happy to share
You came back wantin' once you'd lost in all…
Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

A WildGeas and Cave Street collaboration
You see me and I see you
Is that what's real?
You say bad and I say good
Which one is real?
When you do the things you do
Then how do you feel?
There's a time
There's a season
For change…

I've been all around
I've been up and down
I said I've traveled in all directions
Now
The world is new
If you've seen what I've seen
And you've been where I've been
I guess you know what I mean
Now
The world is new

This is an experiment in stacking real time delay/looped tracks that had no preconceived connections... all overdubs were done without listening to previously recorded tracks. I hear some very interesting synchronizations.... You?

paper hearts on your door
Paper hearts ripped in pieces

Goodbye Blue Monday

Goodbye blue Monday
There's nothing else to say
We always knew
we would part this way
Time comes to say goodbye
To pause perhaps and wonder why
Why we always had to be
So blue, so blue
I can see that life…
I'm still getting around to re-upping everything I took down last October.... this is one of them, and if I recall correctly, this is the track that was the impetus for Paul & I to start collaborating. (Something I've been missing a lot…
My Last Demon

My last demon
Follows me around
I hear his suggestions
But you don't hear a sound
My last demon
Is riding in the back
He looks like he's sleeping
But he's on the attack
He leans in and whispers
And I forget…
I did this weeks ago & then found it again last night as I was archiving old files. This is one of those one-off improv sessions... I recorded the rhythm guitar in one pass, then one "lead" pass and then one vocal pass, and done. Even the…
This one is for all of you intrepid audio explorers out there: our latest experimental improv featuring Treefrog on electrified cigar box & washboard... Definitely not for the faint of heart!

Featuring Mark Hubbard & Duma, on didj & percussion respectively, this one begins as the most traditionally structured piece on the album. But don't get used to it, it doesn't last long... just enough to ease you into the formlessness…
@kavin. - lol, that's just it: I did not persevere --- *I gave up!* :-)
The 'real' songs will be coming along before too long... but unfortunately they are too late to count for RPM...
These were just my glimpses into formlessness... but you know how it is... the longer you look into it, the more you realize there are layers of order within the chaos.
I'm just tryin' to surf the chaos.
...or at least stay afloat!
I just saw a comment below that mentioned EARTH... I was thinking similar thought moments before I saw that comment... not meant to be a comparison, just noting that you are in very good company...
10 minutes in... other influences have entered the field... darkness headed towards becoming absolute.... very well done indeed, this is entering my pool of favorites... soon to be downloaded & enshrined on a shiny disc for late night ear goggle exploration... thanks for sharing! now 12 minutes in ... a promise of dawn to come...
5 + minutes in & I am enjoying this immensely! Starting to edge toward darkness now... 6 min... this seems to have far more thought put into it than my recent RPM soundscapes... this is extremely well done! ...still decending... 7 minutes in...
*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.

I purchased a new M-Audio midi keyboard during RPM. The software alone was worth the $100.
There was no chance I was wasting any time during RPM with a learning process.
Today, I got the opportunity to install the software and plug it in. This…
Hey Geas, you know my boy Zack is a rapper, right? It's nerd rap apparently... not sure what all that entails (super heroes & sci-fi at least) but you might wanna hit him up. This one sounds like it could be Pirate Rap. I can hear a chorus of "Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho!" at the end!
This is my favorite one so far! The guitar echo sounds like one of the tracks I've been working on myself... This is one of your tracks that starts inspiring words in my head as soon as I hear it!

Lyrics:
River run away with me
I got my paddle in my hand
Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes
Start out fast, then go slow
Closer to the…
Wow, I was already thinking what a special song this is & then then that flute solo just sealed it! Sure would love to hear an "extended mix" with more of that! I like where everything sits in the stereo field, this is a nice spacious mix...
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
...and playing it back clean!
Come over here and sing that!
excellent...
Good find Regs. Cool collab guys, loved the brass section.
liking that doorsy riff going on .....
an excellent RPM Challenge album loved it........I've been and I know what you mean.......

another fantastic vocal........just love that voice.......I'm off to see Ursulla the sea queen so watch out.......
love the use of percussion on this.....not to mention your vocal ...I should just fav them all a fantastic RPM album
I had to drop in on this tune. It's the best. ~WG
I love the sustained note at the beginning and end, it speaks volumes. Kind of makes me hold the breath while listening!
Very intimate sounding, like you are singing to yourself in ponderous mood.
Ahh, there's lovely as we say in Wales! That voice just melts me!
Dig this alien freakout.
Cool and intriguing. I like!
Another great track mate.
Great track mate top vocals.
Classic Cave Street. My side of the Street.
Great lyrics M.T.
Very well done for a one pass recording, it keeps all the sponteneity that way.

I like this song, thanks for sharing your music.

This is a nice track... are you doing RPM this year?
I agree with Keith: inspired/humbled! As always, thank you for so freely sharing your beautiful music, kavin..
Let me know if you want me to send these to MC Freakin'Genius (aka Zack)

This one reminds me of Art of Love... I like the echoes & the low bass hits.
It's like Benny Hill goes western! Fun track!! This needs some seriously twisted lyrics! :-D
