The theme for Improv Friday this week is "variations". So here's an improv reconstruction of the one classical piece I know, Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

#4 for the RPM Challenge.
Have you heard this melody before? This is one of those where I wonder if I've unconsciously "borrowed" something from someone. Translation: the Fly Boat, like the tourist boats that ply the river Seine and their bright…
Ditty #10 for RPMC. I really had a hard time trying to come up with the final track, so I fell back on the old loop/delay/ebow improv formula, which I had hoped to avoid on this album. Kind of acoustic Breaking Light. Well it crossed the finish…

Ditty #9 for the RPMC album "Bones".
I'd had this rolling around in my head for about a year now, and even played it live with the SD&Q trio. Didn't quite turn out as planned, which is not unusual.

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.

last eve there was a beautiful moon
dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…
While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…
After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

I've been noodling about with these chords for what feels like an eternity. They just are telling me what they want to be when they grow up... so I thought it's just time to record them and maybe solicit some kind of feedback.
Since I was…
Nice chord progs there. Adding this to a long list of alonetone songs I'd like to add something to, if I can keep from ruining it. Then again it might best be left alone, with it's airy openness.
First done by Dock Boggs back in the 20s, it's a great piece of melancholy parafunalia. Eerie to think it's a suicide note and reassuring to know he was still a tough old bird 40 years later.

Another wacky production from the stretchy, bouncy, and elastic world of Rubber. Special thanks to Mark (Launched) for writing this one for us.
We had a whole bunch of fun with this song and you will too.
Enjoy!

This is a jazz fusion piece featuring my Fender Mustang, Guitar Rig 4, GR-20, Session Drummer 3, and the following soft synths ARP2600, Absynth 5, Dimension Pro.
I hope you find…
Just a hint of the original melody, and the cascading notes in the middle, it's a different take on a classic and that's good. Thanks for not putting the rain sound fx in!
This is a cover of Richard Wright's original "night of a thousand furry toys" that i made a couple of years ago. all work, voices, instruments and recording by myself :0)
original lyrics and music: Richard Wright
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Lovely chord voicings you used in this
nice. like the the clean reverby guitar tone.
Nice acoustic work. :)
Lovely taste of France. Great playing Kavin! Bee
I didn't make out what you said, listening again... Sounds Russian! And also, do you think I sound like Mac? :)
It sure did. And now for something completely different! Nice one!
far out

Interesting and unique. I like that balance between staccato and drone.
OMG - can you say brilliant? w;-)
Absolutely LOVE this track! w;-)

Ahhh another series of sputtering, glitchy noise pieces. Love it chimps!
I missed the eclipse the other morning, but this more than makes up for it. Beauty.
Great to see yawl here!
luvadatdubmon!
Agreed on all three points. A cool jam!
That was fun, thanks Keith. Now I wanna go out and adopt a puppy!
Successful play! I just finished watching 2001 a space odyssey (again) and this piece would have been perfect in the soundtrack. I wants a GR-20 now.
For some reason this is not playing for me on the pc or mac....

From the samples I've been listening too, DB was a monster banjo picker, among other things.
Gotta put a plug in for Darrin Kobetich, check him out on myspace and cdbaby. And at RPM Challenge!
Thanks for resurrecting this tune. Well done. Will have to look up some more of Boggs' work.
Dang, that kicks!
Quirky. Twisted. And the guitar is badass. Third listen.
Really nice, dreamy composition, but too short!

Great job. Love the Broken China album!
goshdawg! If I ever make it out to the islands we will jam.
Great duet. Nice California style folk.
Sweet tone. A Les Paul?
