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.
Yeah the Variax even had a cool banjo and sitar model! But I took it back to GC because the harmonics sounded tinny, nothing like an acoustic. A minor quibble, really.

A test run with my new Line 6 DL4 delay pedal. Recorded with a handheld mp3 recorder, hence the ambient room noise. The DL4 was fed into a BOSS loop pedal also. No overdubs, all on the fly.

Remastered all the tunes in the Mr. Faraday playlist to a higher dB.
Still figuring out this mastering thang. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Oh, and happy new year everyone!
The wife has gone riding so I came down the cellar and turned up the amps using my Tele and 335 to see what I could come up with .....

The first lines of the chorus just crept into my head.
I had to write the rest.

And I've been losing track of how many times I've written my vows

This piece is somewhat programmatic, somewhat expressive. I wanted to tell a story of moving from a dark place of drudgery and powerlessness to finding courage, strength, purpose, and joy.
Created for the Record Every Month challenge for July…
Lots of loud noise going on with the refurbishment of the condo I live in, so thought I would haul out the horn and honk along. Been away for a couple of weeks working on a 50th anniversary restaging of David Tudor's Rainforest IV in Kingston…

remapped the original therapeutic healing logic project into different instruments and like that,.. enjoy. 9 tracks total with separation in stereo going on.
The final Song for my 2023 RPM challenge!! Dusted off my acoustic guitar (and blistered my fingers) to get this one done. Phew! I love Latin rhythms and so I found a beat and jammed it up. Thanks again to anyone who listens -it's really fun…
Whatever twisted fate befell those contaminated by the orange mutagen, they began to wriggle, writhe, and squirm their way from the subway, swamps, and sewers, to spread their glowing cheer.

Okay, RPM Song 3 finished. It's a weird song melodically speaking (yup, that's actually intentional lol). Oddly, it took an extremely long time to produce this one and my eyes are now very blurry. I guess this is an "urban" song (though I…
First song for my 2023 RPM challenge. As in all previous years.....just get it bloody done! Sleepless nights, hours in my basement "studio", falling behind with work....loving every moment. I wrote this first track on February 1st in the wee…

Nice one! I like the 12 string sound. May have to check out the Line 6 jobs myself
great and a sweet haunting, i can imagine it with an electric sitar!!
reminds me of the summer and i can imagine it at some cider festival!1
mystic and evokes a hot suummer to me.
Oh, Oh, Oh, ... EXCELLENT!
Kavin...this is BRILLIANT!!!!
Thanks CE. A little delay and metal slide on the low strings. The "whale song" is reversed in the middle of the song.
This is great. I have been trying to figure out how to do this. So how (pray tell) do you get Humpback to sing guitar?
Phenomenal! Gorgeous!
You've gotta love a new toy! This makes me miss my headrush pedal.... :-( Great atmosphere you've created here.
nice job on this one.
Great sound!
Lovely! That is a sweet pedal, right there... a great track for a dark, cold Sunday afternoon.
I love this stuff...you make me wanna play some guitar, man!
oh, yeah, that's cool...love when the picking kicks in.
I only wish I could get acoustic sounds that good!!!! Great job
Man, it doesn't get better than this one. Amazing what one can do with a just an acoustic guitar.
Very nice- I hear a bit of Anthony Phillips influence in places. Nice mix of styles
