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!
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.
my rpm #5,, it will eventually become a part om my themed cd "the dark doll house" a somewhat sad place where memories of childhoods past echo through empty rooms,, the two other pieces thus far in this theme are the 3 mov of my piano sonata…
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
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
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

cool man. Another excellent piece of art.
Boosted db a bit to get it on par with the rest of the tunes on the EP.
Hey I can hear a french touch like in St germain here !
Added bass guitar and remixed.
Guitars sound so lovely. I like it!
An amazing sound! I love it!
Very nice, reminds me that I haven't listened to enough John Fahey of late.
@SisterSavage Thank you for the honor!
How very OLDFIELD of you both!
CHECK OUT this Sister Savage/Kavin. collaboration! Wow, Kavin, I LOVE what you've done here!
Love this, Kavin! Great rhythm and your vocal is e-x-c-e-l-l-e-n-t.
Sweet!
cool jammin jazz !
great freestylin improv-sounding jam.
This is both sad and hilarious at once!
OH WOW! OH WOW! OH WOW!
A fabulous eclectic trick. You're all over the place man! It's awesome.
Comments made by kavin.
This came together real nice.
Fun ride. Nice drums.
Yeah that's real nice. Missed it the first time around. More of that Jason!
Nice mood piece here, good.
Are you really who you think you are? What is "reality"? Love me some PDK, and this is a great soundtrack.
Wistful. Plaintive. Looking through my own empty rooms.
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.
