Oh, so good. I always come away from your acoustic tracks feeling equal parts inspired and inadequate as a musician! I need to start studying your fingerings on these... It's about time I started learning how to really play this damn instrument.
#4 for the RPM Challenge.
Have you heard this melody before? This is one of those where I wonder if I've unconsciously "borrowed" something from someone. Translation: the Fly Boat, like the tourist boats that ply the river Seine and their bright…

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.

I love this track... rambling is right! I'm loving the deconstruction going on from about 6 minutes in. *Stellar* minimalist soundscape you've created here. ;-) Well done!
My RPM challenge this year: acoustic guitar instrumental album with no more than three tracks on each tune (ok, maybe four!)
This one is a single track with no overdubs. On the 12 string, the 4th,5th and 6th string pairs are tuned a fourth apart.

This little toe tapper is simply a baseline of guitar, bass, and drums, with horns and guitar providing the solos. It was also a song I just couldn't find the right lyrics for. Oh well. Enjoy.

HYSTERIA
poem by: T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)
As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved
in her laughter and being part of it, until her
teeth were only accidental stars with a talent
for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps…
Jqscutt had this guitar riff that he sent me and we worked out a song with bass, rhythm, lead and drums over the internet. I posted it for a collab for some key additions. This was added by TiS friends K-Lyd and Coruz. Later, they found Liam…
Well, here is a new version of this one. I was not playing my own guitar, but one of a friend, which doesn't sounds so bright. Anyway, i think this is a better interpretation, but still has some mistakes. (this time is well tuned..)

shard hopping...or hard shopping? either way, this little remix-expansion of Kavin's "shards" is one of 21 "duos" on an album I'm releasing next week @ bandcamp.
made this for the recent indaba contest; kept mine true to Reich in some ways but put some new spins on it. my main rule was to use only the orig for sound sources.
This track was my attempted submission for Ramen Music #001. I finally got around to uploading it here.
It was made using several instances of the Max for Live instrument "Loop Shifter" that I played in real-time using my Novation Launchpad…

Nice! Like that change around 1:20. Interesting lead tone you got on this one too.
...and their bright spotlights attract me at night. Here I go...
Damn! How did I miss this. Great stuff man
Your fingerwork is pretty damn great!
I am so A-440. I see alternate tuning in my future. This is some sweet playing.
I like that Drop D, fragmented chord sound. The harmonics were a nice touch too.
One fine instrumental here, I see others agree
Kavin has twisted thoes tuners in a most intriguing way. super
Nice playing...

This reminds me of California Guitar Trio, one of my favorite groups... This is beautiful, man.
Beautiful guitar work! I can feel the synapses in my head getting all fired up...
Ditto on the WOW!
pretty melodies and chords!
Excellent .........
A nice stroll around the frets ;)
Great tunes! Loved listening to your music while washing up the dishes. lol. Thanks.
very pretty, lovely overtones,,
What a gorgeous tone and I love the jaunty feel.
Comments made by kavin.
Cool tune! Thanks for your comments buddy.
nice spoken word piece and the music provides the perfect backdrop.
Good reinvention! Love DJ!
"open up your eyes and close your mouth.." How many times I've wanted to say that! Good job yawl!
Love this one. Really spoke to me but in a completely different way than your comment suggested.
I do too!
gettin my shotgun..
THis kicks.
Wow. I used to be able to play that on my 12 string (!) but never got near this proficiency on it. I'm impressed.
Wow! You must have some organizational skills...great mash! I like the reversed gtr and various treatments.
Cheers Chris! Fantastic video too.
Yay! I like the contrast of fluttering flute with the violent smashing sounds being triggered by the percussion perhaps?
good luck, hope you win. A great entry!
This rocks hard! Congratulations on finishing this project!
Dynamic, slightly atonal. Nice!
excellent cover!

might be a leeetle to experimental for what they want for Ramen, but I liked it! Bethan singing? Really?
O lovely, really good improv!
If that's MiDI,has a great live sound, hard to accomplish. Brilliant playing too. Very impressive,doesn't need vocals, IMO.
