I have dreams of playing this well... No seriously... Just the other night I was playing smooth like this (and sadly awoke to find I am still just a mere mortal). Man, I hope this pre-sets me for some good REM sleep tonight.
Great track, Kavin!
my up coming IF comment: a most strange blues backing track but it works well. Some sounds remind me of the daxophone which I recently discovered. Very cool!
Thanks for your comment mate. I don't know any crimson apart from the records that is. But maybe I can get hold of some sheet music and see how I go.
Cheers
Some reflections after recording this song:
1. Mic positioning for a live take can drive you crazy
2. The lowest note I can comfortably sing is an A
3. A tortured soul can somehow write an amazing love song
4. I still have much to learn

Depeche Mode lite
I was going to hire Meatloaf for the ending but it turns out he will NOT work for pancakes... which is what I had heard.
This is one of the prime examples of (early on) being WAY more ambitious than what my ability…
You're right it is really good. That drum track is a little overwhelming in the mix at first tho. I like the guitars, stream of conciousness lyrics, Lennon-like vocal and the Miles Davis title check.
OCCUPY 0112
It's a highland I call my land
It's an island in the sun
No matter how you measure it
It's always number one
If I had a house to occupy
I'd occupy my wish
But to have a house to occupy
I must defy the rich
We buy the…
This song was inspired by a long walk....
Lyrics:
Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…
Cool. I might be tempted to try this. Maybe a stupid question here but couldn't you accomplish the same thing just tuning all the strings a semitone flat (or sharp)?
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
This is a remix of an improvised track I did for our first RPM album. For this new mix, I got rid of the vocals & added a most excellent electric guitar part by our good friend, Chris Mitchell. He listened to the track just once and proceeded…

The only music I can play in my living room these days is the odd lot of contemplative classical guitar, as anything else would wake up the family at night... :)
Here is…
This is a 19 note per octave solo electric guitar improvisation played in classical guitar format recorded in Sonar X1 with Guitar rig and Lexicon reverberation. Makes it hard to classify for what audience would want to listen to it I guess. The…
A friend told me a story of a rich man who bought all the products from a failing hardware store and kept it in his tool shed in the backyard. When my friend was instructed to grab a tool from the tool shed he was taken back by the amount of unopened…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Gorgeous tones. A very beautiful track.
wonderful guitar as always Kavin. I like the intertwined guitar work and the non-standard percussion

Ha! First one in!
Love it!
Wow is the word! Wow perfectly describes this playing !!!
I just love this style of guitar tracks from you Kavin! Bravo!
Wow, wow and wow!!
Some wild sounds and a smooth guitar.... you blend.
Nice mix mate great sounds.

I do plan on making another. I need to research what wood to use instead of the cool looking but stab in the dark wine box this time.
Fridays sound like good fun. I love all the squelchy sounds you put in there and yet the very laid back atmosphere.
Very cool! w;-)
Love the flavours.
Most poignant and thought provoking music.
@Wildgeas, no one jumped but the bomb squad was out in force!
Hypnotic!
Awesome! :D this is amazing keep it going :DDD

Great versh. I'd like more details on the mic placement. Are you just using one mic? More is better when recording acoustic.
You're right it is really good. That drum track is a little overwhelming in the mix at first tho. I like the guitars, stream of conciousness lyrics, Lennon-like vocal and the Miles Davis title check.
Picturing JMT in a kilt.
Very nice indeed!
Like the crystal acoustic tone and space there.
Your experiments with pitch/tuning always fascinate.
Great song and delivery. I could imagine Van the Man doing this one.
Unplanned jam, the best kind!
Cool. I might be tempted to try this. Maybe a stupid question here but couldn't you accomplish the same thing just tuning all the strings a semitone flat (or sharp)?
Rocks! Happy Birthday Jimmy Page!
Do it Jeff! (the acoustic release)
Great stuff, I bet that was fun. About the time I started getting into the "new" Celtic stuff.
Cool. I missed this, thanks Djork.
TD indeed! I wish they still sounded like this.
Thanks, all. A memory blast for me finding this. The store is closed now, of course.
Very very nice Mr.O.
Great ecstatic energy!
Pretty minimal. Like Bitches Brew without horns. What a difference from the Doc's show!
I love that tone.
Very very nice.
