Some serious playing man. I'd like to hear some of your electric slide playing with this.
BTW, the invisible friends turn to real boys in just a few more short years. Good luck.

recorded for the Japan benefit happening this weekend (right now) over at improvFriday. Stop by and help or just give a listen.
My father brought a koto back from Japan after WWII, I thought this might be a good time…
An improv in a found tuning. E and A strings tuned WAY down so they're slapping the neck:

Hey Kavin, Thanks for your nice comments, Yes, It's true, I play all the guitar parts, Bass and keys and chop up real drums for my drum stuff.
And I miss Frank, And Don too!
I wish I could play in your style as well as you do, I'm a hopeless solo guitarist.

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…

Simply beautiful!
Great playing, great voice! Engaging song, beautifully performed. (I gots me one of those girls too.)
OUTSTANDING!!! This is right up my alley, Kavin!... Now if I could only learn to play like this.
Adorable!
Great jam!
Wonderful song! Great guitar playing!
Most enchanting. Love the guitar playing.
beautiful song that captures one of those special moments that find us,, touch us with the magic of family,, well played,, i have missed hearing your music of late Richard
Very nice! I think the tempo is just right, and the song is very catchy. Thanks for sharing! Regards, Steffen
Thanks!
very interesting melodically. A beautiful dedication aswell
YESSS Zappa!!! great job :)
This is the kind of tune I can get wrapped up and lost in for a VERY long time.
Kavin, You are prolific! so many tracks. Nice cover.
Don't know how I missed this one. What a great song!
There's a nice "John Martyn " vibe here. Nice.

As always....fantastic playing!
Very nice guitar bit layout.
Comments made by kavin.
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!
@jarvis: Squier Tele run thru son Eric's POD XT.
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.
Wild mechanistic nightmare with a Magma choir!
this Hardest Blow project is really awesome! Cant wait to hear it all in it's entahrety.
@AFC- it reminds me of early Scorpions, hence the heavy metal observation..heavy metal lite? Ah well, screw genres...
Love how this turned out! I don't get to do heavy metal often, that was fun!
It's hard to get this expressiveness from an ebow, well done!
