A fingerpicky tune from the old days.
The different guitar voices (nylon string classical and Guild 12-string) were attained using a Line 6 Variax 600 modeling guitar. Great for recording, but I returned it because of some minor issues.

HEy Kavin. Thanks for the kind words. We're intentionally trying to do something without any borders and without too much convention. Kind of like trying to make a painting and not use canvas and brushes....thinking outside the box on this project. We thought the only way anyone would listen if is we had good song names...since they are really not so much songs as they are, moments of space isolated. If that makes sense. But thanks for hopping on board. more to come. Love your sound as well. IS the Mr. Faraday reference have to do with the character on LOST?
Sunday aftnoon (11/09/08) took the reso down to the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum and recorded some doodling inside the Serra sculpture Vortex. No effects added, all natural reverb inside the structure.
LOVE this! A very cool tune. I love that the chorus is so pretty, so much truth delivered but none more evident than that catchy sing-songy bit where you're really talking about the joy of casual sex...lol! I F-ing love that!
One more instrumental before I move on to the vocals...
I came up with this riff one hazy night when I was 19. I'm in my 30s now, and rather more sober, but I still like playing this. It felt good to finally flesh it out.
“While I Wait”: (Richard Hardrick)
I hear my steps from echoes
down in the street of time
van años en lo incierto
outside the shadow line
Silence in an empty sky
while I wait
God has not revealed yet
the truth of signs outside…
#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…
1pm on Sunday. I'm not back in work until Tuesday. We've just had a delicious roast dinner that I cooked, and the glass of wine we had with it is helping it go down. As a crisp February sun twinkles through the window I realise that for the first…
I was asked to come up with some gritty microtonal guitar. This is an out-take from that session.
17 Indulgences is a solo guitar piece in 17 edo featuring acoustic feedback, echo and a bluesy sort of point of view but does wander here and…
Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.
Kirk Lynch- Uilleann pipes and whistle. Becky Pringle- Fiddle. Mike Dugger- Fiddle and guitar…
Sometimes society gets wrapped up in their own routine, failing to notice the sheer beauty that surrounds them on a daily basis, until a moment of chance changes everything.
Some reflections after recording this song:
1. Mic positioning for a live take can drive you crazy
2. The lowest note I can comfortably sing is an A
3. A tortured soul can somehow write an amazing love song
4. I still have much to learn

Depeche Mode lite
I was going to hire Meatloaf for the ending but it turns out he will NOT work for pancakes... which is what I had heard.
This is one of the prime examples of (early on) being WAY more ambitious than what my ability…
You're right it is really good. That drum track is a little overwhelming in the mix at first tho. I like the guitars, stream of conciousness lyrics, Lennon-like vocal and the Miles Davis title check.
OCCUPY 0112
It's a highland I call my land
It's an island in the sun
No matter how you measure it
It's always number one
If I had a house to occupy
I'd occupy my wish
But to have a house to occupy
I must defy the rich
We buy the…
This song was inspired by a long walk....
Lyrics:
Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…

Excellent track, kavin.! Very fruity.

You sound great on this Kavin - your thang ah think!
FYI-Removed the psychedleacoustic vol. 4 playlist and put the songs that had been favorited into the best of playlist. thank ye
Cool, cool, cool!
Wish I'd been there.
I like the guitar part on this tune, the keyboards remind me (pleasantly) of good eighties music (there was some.)
LOVE this! A very cool tune. I love that the chorus is so pretty, so much truth delivered but none more evident than that catchy sing-songy bit where you're really talking about the joy of casual sex...lol! I F-ing love that!
Wow. It all works. It started smiling after about 10 seconds and still haven't stopped.
COOL my bro. That´s what I´m talking about... GOOD MUSIC!!!
I really love this blues sound, and very well played.
Comments made by kavin.
Played like a real Texas guitar slinger!
Thanks for the comments C, and welcome to the club! Keep on with the great songs!
Nice proggy/metal vibe going on here Rick.
Thanks MTC! I'm relieved!
Welcome to Alonetone Daniel! Pick on!
Wonderful! Glad you are back!
Sweet acoustic tone!
Yesh! Definitely a candidate for the IF RPM mash album.
Liking the drone and general guitar mayhem.
Supergreat. That's one tight band.
This makes me feel sad. That's a good thing.
Nice ambient and great album. I came to IA through his novels, not so much his short stories. One of the SF masters indeed!
You're on a roll with these JT covers. Wond'ring Aloud next maybe?
Great versh. I'd like more details on the mic placement. Are you just using one mic? More is better when recording acoustic.

Picturing JMT in a kilt.
Very nice indeed!
Like the crystal acoustic tone and space there.
Your experiments with pitch/tuning always fascinate.
Great song and delivery. I could imagine Van the Man doing this one.
