song#2 for RPMC2016
Expiration date
A rough month for rock stars
All the good ones are leaving
It's about that time
Just the songs remain and
Public grieving
I read the news today oh no
When you died they wrote you up
Counted your…
Track 9 for RPMX album Cold Ground Was My Bed
Those boots that you're wearing black and high
Reach almost up to your thigh
High heels and leather
Tight as a drum
They would even look good on your mum
Black Boots
Wear them with fishnets…
Listening to your recent uploads as I drive from Oakland to Richmond- it's a time I don't have people trying to reach me so I can really hear the music and the lyrics both. This song is fun to listen to and I like the concept. Nice chorus which makes me want to sing along.
I think someone's got a bit of crush on someone innit.
What an album! Great writing, solid performance - fab feel. Can't wait for my copy and a wonderful drive during the summer. B) Fave tracks: Over the falls and Inosculation.
A special someone mentioned Truly,Madly,Deeply which I guess is a pop song. RPM Challenge 2016
True as stars shine in the sky
So certainly that I need not ask why
As honest as a heart that's found its key
And unlocked secrets I never could…

Well, I had this crazy idea that *maybe* Buddy Guy was using some microtonal inflections in his cover of Tramp (which are what the "blue notes" are and thought it would be cool to cover it with my fretless guitar. As it turned out it was my ear…
electric mandolin on 3 tracks - 2 bowed (right and left) with viola bow and 1 strummed just a bit and mostly ebowed (center)
Washburn bass
voice with effects
drum loops sliced and diced
An ambient guitar piece done rather quickly, warts and all.
Stems from ideas I've been developing on my new JamMan looper pedal (catnip for guitarists if there ever was such a thing).
Year: 1999

Land of the Lost

Forgive me my voice!
This may be the most difficult vocal part I have written and tried to sing - but the vocal dissonance IS intentional.
Everything here (except vocals of course…
Yeah B, weird. If you look at comments, the picture is not available and there's a big white box. If you view more, the picture is present, and also a slice of it at the top of the screen. Interesting bug.
I loaded Sonar with a couple audio tracks + echo and recorded my wife's seagull acoustic via a dean markley soundhole pickup.
After the take I multiplied a couple times and edited a touch.
This is really just a test for a planned piece like…

I love this. Makes you feel free. w;-)
Good one Kavin!
Just beautiful!
Great playing
Nice and swingy.
always nice to hear your work
Great mix. Vocal is pristine. Nice use of metaphor.
Nice harmony and discant like voices on this one as well as great set of words.
Love the sound of your guitar on this plus the line 'stand around here waiting to die...' fabulous!
Love it great sound
An excellent RPM

<3 Ooooooh. *composes self* Ooooooh!
Absolutely great song-writing. I won't say who this reminds me of (because everyone hates that, Neil Young, cough) but it sounds like a classic.
...and this one. :) Cheeky and potent. Perfect.
Faved right off the bat - I've heard this one several times on the RPM site. An absolute delight.
Sigh...just great playing. Total class. MOODY but total class. You're the guy I want on my porch swing juz playing away all day long.
What an opener... Love the bitter sweet melody and the space here. Those light touches are superb.

Badass, yawl. I can attest BG is microtonal having seen him, his strings bends are often slightly sharp, an amazing gtrist when he wants to be.
Bowed/ebowed mando, how about that. Great sounds and arrangement.
I like the rhythmic dynamics on this 'un and how it floats in and out of a sonic haze.
which button to push..
This has a bizarre carnival feel, Mephisto's merrygoround? Calms down to a nice resolution at the end.
Loop on man! Meow.
awesome, thanks for the tip. Been looking for timestretch software like this!
This is trippy good. Like Santana in a blender.
Wow. The amazing glu has a tune with that same title. I wonder where he's been? Miss him.
Bump for the newbies to enjoy this track!
Like all the tonal contrast going on, and the analog (?) synths.
Yes it was a longer improv, which I edited down to the best bits. Thanks much!
Ever heard of Robert Wyatt? Very much that style. Good job.
Great electro-jazz. Cool.

Great sonic space and execution, BL will be favoriting/dl'ing this.
Hi Rick! I sure like this. been hanging out with Wendy Carlos?
Howr you doin Rick? Peace to you brother, and thank you for your wonderful music!
bumping this cos it got buried in a massive upload..
I love the range of mood and texture in your music!
