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!

I took recordings of mandolin, guitar, and bass and processed them in Paul Extreme…

Well done. I'm all for free speech, but I question motives of those who want to burn books, flags, etc. for any "cause". I think the burner's seek attention for themselves more often than not.
@jarvis & kirklynch - no notches, capo @ 3rd fret over the neck, then 2nd capo @ 5th fret under the neck on bottom 4 strings only, sort of an open Cmaj, standard tuning. The intro is an ebow, which I rarely use on acoustic. thanks yawl
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
Album:
Land of the Lost
Artist's description:
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.

Super Regal!!! :)
Nice slide sounds from that 1937. :)
Deep in the echo chamber. :)
Great slide and echo sounds! :)

Nice use of silence and note formation. Great!
When I was a lad we used to melt crayons to make multi-colored candles (it was the 60's), seems to me more constructive than outright burning crayons.

Nice mellow jam with thunderstorm, very good.

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.
