recorded for the Japan benefit happening this weekend (right now) over at improvFriday. Stop by and help or just give a listen.
My father brought a koto back from Japan after WWII, I thought this might be a good time…
acapella vocal loop
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water turned to stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago
- Christina Rossetti 1872
Back to basics here. recorded with the Yeti mic.
Ramblin' round your city,ramblin' round your town
I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
My sweetheart and my parents I left in my old hometown…
existential dread has hit my soul
weigh me down like a lump of coal
or the monkey on my back burning fossil fuel
it's getting harder to keep cool
keep on acting like everything's fine
that dog in his burning house
crossing the line, break…
I agree with Jim .. very introspective lyrics like the beat poets .. beatnik kinda song or poem song. this is unlike any I have heard from you ... is there a part two .. ,, this stuff is good.

wild set of of introspective lyrics and surprise entry in the music mix Kav - somewhere between beat poetry and lo-fi hip hop! Well done and new turf for you!
This is our little bundle of joy now grown up to be 10 years old. She took up the flute this year at school and this is her first effort in front of my microphone.
She decided on the flute after watching some vids of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull…

PORTAL and HAPPINESS and TIME are three of the songs on my new CD, EUREKA. Short pieces.
TIME
There was a time when I figured my Chevy van would last forever
I guess that was back when I was about thirty
And there was a time when I thot…
A Friend of mine (Dave Passourd) is a very talented song writer...
But he never records his stuff....
His songs rest with the memories of those that are lucky enough to get to hear his tunes.
Here is what I remember of a Song that he…

4 stereo guitar tracks played out one at a time.
Another late night - early morning recording.
I like to keep a positive attitude about the things that haunt me, but sometimes dreams change course unexpectedly, and the worms creep in.
This is a great album, excellent mix of electronics (Jeremy Camp) and female vox (Girl named Sam). Check the rest of it out at the RPM site or their reverbnation link.
just finished this one, represents a slightly new direction i am taking i think.
i am particuarly proud of the polyrhythmic sound i achieved. i was worried it mite become too cluttered (at the beginning) but i think i achieved clarity.
Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.
Another Sunday cover, this time putting an acoustic spin on one of my favorite tunes from RPM2010 - Communist Party by the great Sha-Pink. This song marks the first time I've ever used live percussion.
Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…
I was collecting 4th of July samples and recorded a jewel. By chance, I recorded my 4 year old girl, and you can hear her thought process...wondering how the fireworks were so high in the air - perhaps the fireworks were dropping from the sky…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Beautiful soundscape on that acoustic and lovely playing. Reminds me of an English guitarist named Adrian Legge.
Something about this reminds me of Pillow of Winds by Pink Floyd. Something ethereal.
Nice! Like the old sound and feel :-]
Love it...
awesome,.. wow
Very good
Rock on brother. Sounds good! :)
This has such a nice ambience to it. Nice pickin' my friend!
Man you man that dobro sing!
Fantastic! :)
Good blues man! :)
Good one. Very dramatic!
Nice !!! For people crossing the Rio Grande, I reckon these lyrics are still relevant!
hot tune for a.m. :)
Super Regal!!! :)
Nice slide sounds from that 1937. :)
Deep in the echo chamber. :)
Great slide and echo sounds! :)

Heheh, the first few trill notes sound like the intro to Cross Eyed Mary.
Great great! Keep up the flautation. Learning an instrument will reward you the rest of your life!
Good to see you back here, James. Great songs as always!
Truly beautiful guitar peace.
Joyfully repetitious. Face melting soloing. Wow!
What a pleasure to wake up to this. Thank ye Doug!
Ah yes, Mahavishnu. I wish they would get back together. Badass playing here,too!
Best of luck with this project. This is wonderful.
You must be new here, podner. Nice percussion tracks. More please!
I really like this piece, but some clipping on the loud bits!

This is reaslly good, esp. like the detuned gtr (?) in the middle.
Nice guitar work on this one.
Let's party!
Great stuff, Rick. I like very much the almost classical/rock approach here.
Really? ok
Apparently the theme for RPM10 was PARTY! Lots of party themed songs. Good cover, 17.
Helluva groove!
Just listened to both versions back to back, different treatments of the same theme. Great!
This is very cool. Well done!
