Beautiful, Kavin. I ;ove the way things meld here. Leads the mind off and away. And yes, I guess that would be voices from Dreamtime. Although I did mix cultures (Australian/ Native American). But that would be me all over!
I stopped by to listen to this year's album, and again I am green with envy. I wish I could play anywhere near as well. Great guitar work, sir. A pleasure to listen to.

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…

Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…

Beautiful, Kavin. I ;ove the way things meld here. Leads the mind off and away. And yes, I guess that would be voices from Dreamtime. Although I did mix cultures (Australian/ Native American). But that would be me all over!
Fantastic playing. I like this a lot!
Great job covering this one!
Wow. Just wow. This just draws me in and mesmerizes me.
Oh yeah! Great bit of moodiness and I really dig the instrumental breaks.
@kirklynch CGDGBD I think....could be wrong but that's close. Need to revisit it and learn it!
This is so good! What tuning were you in?
@ GFox, ER, et al Aw shux, thanks.

The slide gtr parts have this great earthy tone to them. This song has a great feel. I love the suspensions and country blues overtones.
And yet again, more brilliant finger style playing. Beautiful work, Kavin.
Such great finger-picking... I love the song and all of the changes. Great one Kavin, simply great.
Love the Univibe effect here...
Tasty, very tasty.
I haven't heard this before, it's great, believable vocal and I love the guitar.
Well done!! Love the Doors!
people ARE strange. No doubt about it. Really f'in strange.
Hey mate thanks for your comments. Take care mate and have fun.
great song! Excellent title. Illegal Alien Autopsy
Great cover of a favorite Doors song! w;-)
Comments made by kavin.
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!
always dig long drum solos if interesting, and this sure is. DL'd to mess around with later.
Lovely slide playing there.
Drop-D tuning, Cap. And yes BJ the chording is direct influence from NY's unplugged Mr. Soul, you have a keen ear sir.
