Inspired by a gorgeous recording on a wax cylinder by the composer, Tanburi Cemil Bey (1873-1916).
Performed on politiki lyra (classic kemençe), a small bowed fiddle from Istanbul.
Recorded at The Banff Centre, November 2008.
Have you ever eaten ice cream too fast, got that headache and then you spilled the words out all wrong. Well that’s me.
I decided to dig my old Peavey Fury (bass) out of the closet several months ago. It’s been about 15 years since I had played…
I went into the studio to record something I wrote... I came out to find out that 32 students had been gunned down... I already had the mandolin song and melody with a writing direction... and this senseless evil really derailed the whole thing…
Something just broke and I think it's my heart
It wasn't an arrow. It wasn't a dart
It mighta been a meter that tore it apart
But, something just broke and I think it's my heart

A bedside bomb with no alarm…
...after reading John Steinbeck's IN DUBIOUS BATTLE and watching the John Ford movie of GRAPES OF WRATH. The opening and closing statements are quotes from the Preacher in the movie.
A friend said he wanted to do a video of this track. I…
deeper and deeper i fall to sleep
and i am with you again
i can't wake up and face the loneliness
i won't feel love without you
hear the shattered lines, miles and days
didn't want to go away
nothing i can say
now the only way
fall into…
24 hour EP more than 24 hours late. I was going to title it "Perpetual Interruptions EP" but I went for something more positive. Due to weird bug in some part of my set up, there is a kick drum in only one side of the stereo for the first few…
24 hours of music making for 2008.
Yup. This is a "Gaiman variation" which means that I stopped at 24 hours and this is what I've got. Not 24 min, but it is a "Noble Failure"

Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Lovely, gentle and bluesy Kavin. Beautifully played as usual.
more great stuff i love it kavin!!
Smooth, and much different from what I've been hearing from you. Tastefully done. ~Geas
Awesome; all you need now is a Barry White stand-in :-)
Making me happy! Great song!!
I'm with Savage. I like it too!
Well *I* like it. I think the busy beat and the laid back guitar work incredibly well together. And it's always a pleasure to hear some Mick. :-)
Subtle touches of harmonica, mellow guitar sounds, essence of a lazy, summer day, very nice!
Great playing man very cool and amazing dig it.
You amaze me!!!! w;-)
This is some fine guitar playing. So impressive.
Man you can play that guitar. This is beautiful. It reminds me so much of Jeff Martin from Tea Party. Peaceful, relaxing.
dude thanks!!!
@kirklynch It's all bridge pickup, guitar run thru Yamaha AcousticStomp to simulate a miked dreadnought (because I'm lazy).
Swoon.
Beautiful man! You must be recording at least partly using a pickup- has that distinctive sound
Texas calling...
Timeless...carefree...so lovely. Oh, and GREAT playing!
The full sounds you make with just one guitar, amaze me. Very well played.
This is a great piece also...

Boosted db a bit to get it on par with the rest of the tunes on the EP.

Added bass guitar and remixed.
heheh Enigma on acid. Pretty wild!
These little looped guitar pieces are inspiring.
I am enjoying all yer tracks, BB. Simply great!
Love the sound of this instrument!
Sounds like the Dead. But better. Got anymore?
Fantastic. It's hard to maintain listener interest over 10 min. but you did it here.
@SisterSavage Thank you for the honor!
Great work. Thanks.
Just don't break the vocal chords. Love it.
Awright yawl! JMT is here!
Nice guitar textures, Limbo.
great atmospherics on this one!
Great listen from start to finish. Analog synths?
Re:Rewind Nobody Home?
The tranquil intro prepares you not for the electronic mayhem that ensues. Nice mellotron.
Hell of a good "failure". Is that Brian Eno speaking in the middle? The instrumental passages after that are stunningly beautiful.
