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!
It's a part of a documentary 15min. movie, I recently produced. The title of the movie is "Parvomaistora" - "The Grand Master".
Finally, I could produce the film about my father, who was a great inventor and blacksmith master - Ilia Kovachev…
What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
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.
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.
this is a song by my niece Clara. She's 4. the lalalala's are Noah's (6) contribution.
Recorded Christmas day 2008.
Happy New Year all alonetoners!

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!
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...

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! :)

Nice use of delay!
Niiiice. I had to listen thru headphones, which I don't normally do.
I really like this. DL'd AND faved, which is rare for me to do. This has great atmosphere and some nice subtle psychedelia.
Nice. Sounds like the Earth breathing. Fuzz hit it right on the head.
I enjoyed these jams! Rock on Kirk!

That's a cool audio experiment! Ending is a bit abrupt.
Thanks CE. A little delay and metal slide on the low strings. The "whale song" is reversed in the middle of the song.
Bon voyagee!
Some soulful playing there.
Beauty
Dang, that's hot! Great chops!
This is perfect. The vocal, the guitar. And the fret noise is integral. And the minimal lyrics say so much.
Love this simple, traditional sound!
Can't wait to hear the long version!
heheheheh! Love it.
Thanks for including tunings in yer comments. I'll try some of these.
This is great. Love the layering of the guitars.

Excellent! More of that please.
