Love it! I may need to start grabbing some of Norm's outstanding percussion tracks and lay down some guitar... Although it will never be as smooth as this one by Kavin!
just finished this one, represents a slightly new direction i am taking i think.
i am particuarly proud of the polyrhythmic sound i achieved. i was worried it mite become too cluttered (at the beginning) but i think i achieved clarity.
Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.
Another Sunday cover, this time putting an acoustic spin on one of my favorite tunes from RPM2010 - Communist Party by the great Sha-Pink. This song marks the first time I've ever used live percussion.
Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…
I was collecting 4th of July samples and recorded a jewel. By chance, I recorded my 4 year old girl, and you can hear her thought process...wondering how the fireworks were so high in the air - perhaps the fireworks were dropping from the sky…
This song was inspired by the heavy rains of the past two days, and my wife and I biding our time waiting for them to subside a bit so we could leave the house. The guitar is my old Alvarez classical with a microphone, then run through my RP350…
We all live on one planet, and on this planet we ARE the indigenous peoples. The rest is just intellectual self petting if you know what I mean. When I'm feeling frustrated with the human race, I return to the roots. I read once in a novel on…

I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…
One of a series of songs based on stories written as random memories by a character born around 1870 and his escape from poverty and hardship.
This song is from the time he left his roots to seek out a better future, but at this period this…
We all know someone like this. Sometimes I'm like this. Anyway, recorded using my Epiphone semi-hollowbody. I love the gtr sound on this one. Again, it's older, so the sonic quality isn't anywhere near what I do now.
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Thanks for loading my cabinets up with such tasty awesomeness!
Cool! I've had this Norm track sitting on my desktop for a month and have yet to come up with anything this groovy with it. Great jam man!
Always a big compliment to get a smiley from Mac! :)
:)
Haha, beat me to it...although...I wasn't planning to play awesome guitar on it. Groovy!

Hey thanks for the comment on 'Buzz killer'! Jake
this is beautiful makes me feel so at peace and whats that track in the background at about 1:05
Nice music for a rainy day....
Sounds like a musical rocking chair....or porch swing...has me swaying in my seat.
like your style man/your son eric as well... very inviting guitar spins....'Suspended sea' is still my favorite.
thanks. Son Eric on bass, friend Phil on Edrums. I just served as producer on this 'un.
raw drums n bass...and the bass line itself is pretty cool
Ha ha, wow!!
i think the drum work is really well done. making E drums sound improvised take some work.
when it comes to classes of musicians, rank you in the highest one.
nice layers!
oh slides!
meaty tones, embodiment.
There's some pretty mean playing there, boy!

This is reaslly good, esp. like the detuned gtr (?) in the middle.
Nice guitar work on this one.
Let's party!
Great stuff, Rick. I like very much the almost classical/rock approach here.
Really? ok
Apparently the theme for RPM10 was PARTY! Lots of party themed songs. Good cover, 17.
Helluva groove!
Just listened to both versions back to back, different treatments of the same theme. Great!
This is very cool. Well done!
Excellente! What a menagerie of sound!
Very nice indeed. May take you up on that offer.
The creative impulse animates whatever instrument is placed at its disposal.
Voices..from the Dreamtime?
Very cool. Like this lots.
The length for this showed 1:53 but it went on for 3 minutes! Not complaining, just wondering how you can manipulate the fourth dimension like that?
The ghost of Leonard Cohen? Oh he's still around.
faster faster! And the backwards guitar keeps up.
The blues lilt in your voice and tapping the strings is something new.
Like this 'un. Very Tragically Hip if you don't mind the comparison.
@kirklynch CGDGBD I think....could be wrong but that's close. Need to revisit it and learn it!
