This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…

Thanks for the comments! I've now upped a different mix with a hurdy-gurdy sample.... not exactly what I had in mind, but you get the idea. Let me know if you or someone you know plays a hurdy gurdy, and we'll do it right.

Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.

My first rejected Ramen Music submission.
Too Much
I wrote you a letter but I never sent it
I was afraid you might never get it
or what if you did and I lived to regret it
and it was just too much for me to take
now its four in the morning…

I'm not so sure the tunes selected by Ramen music necessarily reflect the popular vote as demonstrated by Alonetone "most favorited", etc. And it is a thankless job, inherently biased, to make selections for Ramen Music. I don't envy the position of the editors. Alas, that was historically one of the problems that lead to the demise of other record labels...
In any case, don't let it work on your head. You have a sizeable fan base and we LOVE what you are producing. Now, return to your studio and get back to work: we are hungry for more!
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…
I’ll make my exit on the wind
Nevermore to pretend
That I’m fine
Yeah, I’m good, so good
At doin’ everything I should
To convince you
That I’m okay for today
An’ I won’t crawl out of my skin
I’ll just pretend
Some days…
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
There's a lovely sense of endless time in this - it works well with the drone
1 second late lol...really cool!
Man i just can't get enough of this song. Hurdy-gurdy me another time ;)
<3

listening to this album ,, I like the blue-mars effect :)
Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.
The guitar is killer! Great great great!
Sweet! good job guys!!!!!
Oh yeah! Waiting for more! Great beats and cool guitar in perfect unison! This is gonna be beautiful, guys! Tess
Great job both of you. This is great nice guitar. Brilliant.
Great tune and guitar , had to fav it.

Ohhh, I like what you've done with this! Beautiful string work here. Many thanks!
Wonderful stuff man! Love the percussion
Had to log back in to fav this one. Cant help but think of Lou Reed a little here.

Amen. It just doesn't always feel like it from our perspective. But thanks for reminding me again.
I'm certain I faved this. That's 2 I have found this morning! Love this track too!
Ohhhhhh Michael!!

I like this song, thanks for sharing your music.

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
