2-3-14 Improv with new acoustic & new delay/looper. By the end of the month I'll probably have two or three albums worth of outtakes of this kinda stuff. Haven't even scratched the surface…

Thanks, Greg. The weird sounds in the intro are coming from my new delay pedal... it's also provided the effect used on the "lead" guitar parts. I love this thing, it will definitely have an impact on the sound of my entire RPM album!

Thanks, jip & WG!! STill don't think I've done it quite as good as it deserves.... This was my third attempt (so far) and I feel I'm getting closer...

In the darkness
I walk alone
Eternal solitude
My only home
And the path I follow
Towards the unknown
Is a path that's laid
For my steps alone
In the morning…

Here comes my life again on the upswing
feels like I've been down
for so long
like a carnival ride
I'm not scared of the heights

You're livin' hard
And I understand
You have my word
I won't make demands
There's a feelin'

And we'll soon find out
If the feelin's true…
Hi Mike,
I have not really done any recording since RPM 2012. However, I should be back this year.
BTW, digging this album right now. Nice spare arrangements fit your vocal style well.
This is my complete entry for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. The album is called Radio and it's a suite of seven songs tied together with the sound of a radio being tuned. It's done.
Song about idolising people. Mr Supercool is anyone we think deserves our idolatry - could be a him, or a her, or even oneself. Mr Supercool cares nothing for anyone. He has no love.
Anyway - glad to be back messing with music again after…
Although I do like your concept and your lyrics very much, I'm sure it will come as no surprise that my favorite part is the psychedelic guitar breakdown in the middle of the song.... Actually though there are quite a few things to like about this track: The synth string pad, the drums (I am so *weak* in this area, and really appreciate what you've done here!), not to mention the brief woodwind interlude (very tasty!) before the final chorus line and then more psychedelic guitar to the out. I've clicked the fave button, but afaik it's still busted.
Love the shifting sections of this piece.... Excellent guitar throughout, obviously --- but the bed tracks are all just excellently put together. Even a tantalizing vocal section at the very end. Well done, all around!!
I think this year marks my fourth crack at NaSoAlMo, National Solo Album Month. This song marks the first time in those four attempts that I've actually finished a song within the month of November.
Song by Nick Plagakis
Lyrics:
I don’t care for love and happiness
I got myself a yacht and a mansion
I don’t believe in God and religion
I got myself sixty four billion
Greed, greed, greed is what I need
Greed, greed, greed is what…
New song. Wrote the guitar part first, lyrics came later. This is one of the first songs I've done more than one track on in quite a while, and also one that isn't dark (unusual for me). Anyway, enjoy!
unfinished track for a three part composition.
If you live in the Fort Worth, TX area and would like to perform this live, send me an email. I'm finishing up part 2 and will start on Part 3 soon. I would like to put together a large ensemble…
Yeah, I know, it's early. But the Banjo Hangout is having a contest for banjo renditions of this tune, and I decided to toss my hat in the ring, so to speak. Might win the 6-string banjo first prize, which I can't imagine having any use for, or…
Molensteen.
Ik zie een molensteen versleten na z’n lange reis.
Door onkruid overwoekerd, traag verslonden door de tijd.
Bij een stenen muur of wat daar nog van over is.
Vertoont het treurige feit van alles dat ooit was word uitgewist…
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
big fan of delay here, sounds excellent.
3 albums would be cool :) Nice start.
Great stuff Man! Love the guitar sounds and lyrics
The guitar sounds great man. Nice leads too.

Interesting start to the song. Nice song! Good start to RPM Challenge 2014.

Thanks for listening, Norm & RSS!
Oh so very nice!
Awesome version. Love it ~WG
Lovely song.
NIce track!
Fuck the mean time. In the meantime, I'm going to let heaven pour all over everyone I love. Thanks for reminding me.
Ahh. Like a warm bath, rare, but delightful, my moments with Street invigorate me.
Nice man.
excellent!, not sure why but has a doors feel, again excellent indeed!
Really has an endless summer vibe. Definitely...warm beach, crashing waves
Thanks, Dave! :-)
Too damned sweet!

Excellent! Can't wait to hear the whole thing. I just uploaded mine too! AT won't let me make a playlist though!

This is good stuff, the kind of song that sort of sucks you in and envelops you in it's own little sphere of sound. Excellent collab, gents!
Well it's an excellent song, RJ. Awesome guitar is a bonus!!
beautiful track, k
Great track, Nick!
Nice one! I liked the words a lot. Hope we can do some recording soon. - Michael
very meditative. looking forward to the rest.
This sounds really great! Very nice recording. Good luck on second place, but this might be too good!
Beautiful!
Epic stuff man, really like the drums on the section that starts about 2 minutes in.
Wow that guitar is LOUD and NASTY. Kick out the jams, Reggie!
Intense!!
It sounds like you are in tune with your instrument to me! ~:^)~
I haven't seen the commercials, but I love this track!
stone groove 4:20 coincidence? i think not
uitstekend zang!
favorite button does not seem to be working. :-(
As always, I love it. You are so patient with your music, it totally pays off.
