You asked me where these rumors start.
"I don't know," I said and crossed my heart.
But I told you I did not hope to die.
You said you can't trust no more.
Why start now? You never did before.
Now I just have to pause and wonder…

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?

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

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.

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…
This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…

As night falls, a cold wind blows
Together we shall strive
Hold me now before I fall apart
and come undone in pieces
and fall to the earth the like rain
Hold on through the dark
Hold on climbing together
Hold on to me as…

Thanks to all for the comments, and thanks for listening. This is my favorite thing I've written in quite awhile. Not sure if it's in spite of or because of the pain that inspired it, but either way, it allowed me transcend the overwhelming depression to which I had awoken.

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
Brilliant the whole feel the honesty great vocal loved it"....."
thanks for all the great comments Cave!
Pretty cool stuff. Sadly I've overlooked your music for too long. Sorry.
a trick of the light, part two
That is pretty interesting! I must try some experiment like that myself
Humanity in a nutshell!
There's such subtle slow build to this. Great track.
Yep it's still beautiful. I just had time to hear it in the album setting. This has been a great half hour ..
What a beautiful song. Great vocal, Mr Street.
*no words*
Wow, mournful and affecting.
Beautiful.
Who doesn't love this guy's voice? Just gorgeous.
What an appetiser! Ice cool!
I'll be back for a proper listen......have to take the wife to work.....she is yelling.....I really like what I hear so far.....
If this is what arises from depression, then there is at least one good thing about that. It's a good song, enjoyed it!
Excellent. Love your voice (as always) and guitar tremelo. Post the lyrics!

@ Wildgeas - this totally needs some harmonica!
This is a keeper :)

Norm, this is a sweet groove!
hip lyrics, great track!

Holy moly, what a rocker! Sounds like you're channeling Bob Scott there dude!
I like this song, thanks for sharing your music.
nice track. dig the vocoder! bla bla bla bla bla bla
Psychedelic!
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
