for the 2009 RPM Challenge album "Sabbatical"
Standing at the edge of Canyon de Chelly in Arizona at sunrise last summer I had an out of body experience.
Track 5 from my RPMX album Cold Ground Was My Bed
Inspired by Salvador Dali. Mostly.
Gravity failing
Cats float flailing
Furniture in midair
Salvador smiling
Rainbows crying
Clocks melting everywhere
Pachyderms stilted
Lovers…
A test track of sorts.
I typically mix a track, bounce it out to my ipod and then go for a drive. The stereo in my truck is kind of boomy and if I get the bass wrong, I'll hear about it. This has been a matter of a certain amount of guesswork…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
Written/Recorded: December 25, 2010
Not really finished, not even sure what it is. I jst felt like playing some loud guitar...
EBEGAD (Capo III) and EADGBE.
Percussion = Norm
Guitar = Rick
Vox = Emily
Bass = Chris
We started with this

which came from this

I hope you both…
This little toe tapper is simply a baseline of guitar, bass, and drums, with horns and guitar providing the solos. It was also a song I just couldn't find the right lyrics for. Oh well. Enjoy.

HYSTERIA
poem by: T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)
As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved
in her laughter and being part of it, until her
teeth were only accidental stars with a talent
for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps…
Jqscutt had this guitar riff that he sent me and we worked out a song with bass, rhythm, lead and drums over the internet. I posted it for a collab for some key additions. This was added by TiS friends K-Lyd and Coruz. Later, they found Liam…
Well, here is a new version of this one. I was not playing my own guitar, but one of a friend, which doesn't sounds so bright. Anyway, i think this is a better interpretation, but still has some mistakes. (this time is well tuned..)

shard hopping...or hard shopping? either way, this little remix-expansion of Kavin's "shards" is one of 21 "duos" on an album I'm releasing next week @ bandcamp.
made this for the recent indaba contest; kept mine true to Reich in some ways but put some new spins on it. my main rule was to use only the orig for sound sources.
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
I love this. Yep, we're on the same wavelength. w;-)
Dig Vanzandt great cover
This is great! Haven't heard the original but this will do me just fine. ;)
nice warm up,, looking forward to hearing you new music
I close my eyes and see Bill Frisell playing
Wow! Very cool!
This is very cool!
Great tunes Kavin -- I've just let this play in the background, and have enjoyed it! Keep writing!
Oh yeah- That's the stuff right there!
Great sliding guitars.
Wow, really nice , sweet sliding.
Faved. I am feelin that

Nice slide work to complement a great vocal.
"Ain't feelin' it!" What a great line! I love this one!
I like that gritty slide! Nice playing!
Oh, Mamma...

Very nice. I see some Ultratouch radiant barrier insulation on the Home Depot site, is that the same stuff? I'd like to use some in my vocal booth.
HNY 2 U C8mE!
great sound and playing, must try that since I have a pair of matched condensers.
excellent, Doug. I played this simultaneously with Shakuhachi's soundcape two for a unique listening experience.
Really love how this has developed!
nice minimal acoustic funky, I like it.
Cool tune! Thanks for your comments buddy.
nice spoken word piece and the music provides the perfect backdrop.
Good reinvention! Love DJ!
"open up your eyes and close your mouth.." How many times I've wanted to say that! Good job yawl!
Love this one. Really spoke to me but in a completely different way than your comment suggested.
I do too!
gettin my shotgun..
THis kicks.
Wow. I used to be able to play that on my 12 string (!) but never got near this proficiency on it. I'm impressed.
Wow! You must have some organizational skills...great mash! I like the reversed gtr and various treatments.
Cheers Chris! Fantastic video too.
Yay! I like the contrast of fluttering flute with the violent smashing sounds being triggered by the percussion perhaps?
good luck, hope you win. A great entry!
This rocks hard! Congratulations on finishing this project!
