The theme for Improv Friday this week is "variations". So here's an improv reconstruction of the one classical piece I know, Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

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.
Ditty #9 for the RPMC album "Bones".
I'd had this rolling around in my head for about a year now, and even played it live with the SD&Q trio. Didn't quite turn out as planned, which is not unusual.

#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…
Ditty #10 for RPMC. I really had a hard time trying to come up with the final track, so I fell back on the old loop/delay/ebow improv formula, which I had hoped to avoid on this album. Kind of acoustic Breaking Light. Well it crossed the finish…

If the synth intro doesn't do anything for you, just wait about two minutes for the main part of the song to start.

A typical folk song.
Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take.
Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…
Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
An ambient anthemic piece.
The process:
- Start with a live take of me playing an iphone app called tonepad.
- add camelphat and camelspace
- add an Alchemy instance, find a big fat pad, work out a riff
- record a single take accompanying the…
Sometimes a tune pops up right to left field. This is one of em! I backed it up with a stand-up bass track which I was intending to re-record before RPM submission but ran outta time.
Three years ago, I brought my two youngest up to the summit of a local mountain (actually, we went up Shelving Rock Mountain, but that song wouldn't be as good). Have a listen to see how that hike went.
I recently bought the Imperfect Samples [Braunschweig Upright](http://www.imperfectsamples.com/website/samples/braunschweig/braunschweiguprightpiano.php) (Pro) sampled piano for Kontakt after falling in love with the sound of the demos.
I have…
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Loving the back ambience in the later half of the song. Very seductive.
You play this beautifully Kavin.
Sweet!

Beautiful!
That sounds really GREAT man!
Lovely chord voicings you used in this
nice. like the the clean reverby guitar tone.
Nice acoustic work. :)
Lovely taste of France. Great playing Kavin! Bee
I didn't make out what you said, listening again... Sounds Russian! And also, do you think I sound like Mac? :)
It sure did. And now for something completely different! Nice one!
far out
Sooooo beautiful! w;-)
Interesting and unique. I like that balance between staccato and drone.
OMG - can you say brilliant? w;-)
Absolutely LOVE this track! w;-)
You amaze us, & we always want more! Superb track! k&w
Inspiring!
Someone plays guitar like George Harrison!! It's beautiful...

Lulls you with the rain sample and ambient gtr then hits you over the head with that killer take no prisoners riff!
@ GFox, ER, et al Aw shux, thanks.
Wow. It's been too long. Great song.
Very cool! Yes, Stones-ish but "happier" than most of their stuff. Nice slide part too.
Yay! Let's hear it for apps. Like this a lot.
Good jammin'!
Pretty darn cool.
Disturbing. Funny. Inventive. Sometimes all at once.
Great pickin'. Hearing this alternate with chimps8myears is jarring, but in a good way!
Very nice laid back acoustic songwriter album. Makes me wanna do something like this next year RPM.
Great southern rock feel on this 'un.
Agree with Kirk, this is great. Must pull out my copy of Koyanisqatsi and watch it again.
Very cool, this.
I was going to give you some positive feedback on this track, but looks like you already got some! :>D
Definitely going on my best of RPM10 mix cd.
@ Hardrick the bass sound is the fretless bass software instrument in Logic express. Pretty cool huh?
This is a fun album! Almost makes me wish we still had a little one (not..). This track in particular evokes Eno.
Yawl did good on this, I love WG. Thanks for the link!
Sounds straight outta 1965! Love it!
oooo good album but I have a weakness for instrumentals like this.
