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.
El sol azul está por encima, aquí, en el espacio que se llama eterna. El sol azul está por debajo.

The blue sun is above, here,
In the space
That is called timeless.
The blue sun is below

My RPM challenge this year: acoustic guitar instrumental album with no more than three tracks on each tune (ok, maybe four!)
This one is a single track with no overdubs. On the 12 string, the 4th,5th and 6th string pairs are tuned a fourth apart.

Hi Kavin, if your new tuning changed the length between the 5th and 6ths fret for instance then, no you could not accomplish this by changing the tuning of the open strings.
On the other hand you can make a small trip into microtonality by retuning the open strings a quarter flat or sharp relative to each other.
I took this bus trip from Forth Worth, Texas to Wheeling, West Virginia and on the way home I jumped off in Cincinnati and bought a ticket to Nashville... Lots of stuff happen when you are on a bus and in bus stations for over 60 hours.
Here…
Took a while to work on this one. There is a 3 or 4 minute intro that came out of a remix contest that I had just finished and it seem to go nice with this crazy loud and mixed up piece. Listen to the whole thing and you'll see that it may even…
Playing guitar while watching a storm come in on weather radar.
Fernandes guitar with the sustainor pickup system. It's like an ebow for all the strings at once! Loads of fun :)
This is just a tease. You have to go to www.rpmchallenge.com and look for NO ID under the "A" listing.... don't ask ... just go and enjoy the full piece. And HEADPHONES,don't want you to miss all that sub bass!!!
My wife is slowly collaging the walls of our studio with random sayings and images from magazines, artwork, photography, album art ect... so I had the idea to pull all of my lyrics for this track from the walls.
LYRICS:
What's my next…
Keyboard and Electric Bass Guitar by Otis Maly, Percussion by Matt Santana
One of three tracks that my friend Otis jammed on during February 2012. This is the first mixdown I've done since he laid down the keys back in mid-February of 2012…
one of my earliest works. loud, clipping and brash as hell, but it has some good ideas!
part of a bigger concept album, will upload it soon, hopefully you'll find it entertaining
24-hour album.
This album is a collage of several disconnected pieces recorded & mixed over 18 hours or so.
I've left it as a single long track, but here's a sort of navigational guide if you want to skip around:
0:00 - 1:30 = Living…
Kirk, the humbucker, I think this is it. It came with the guitar. http://www.guitarcenter.com/LR-Baggs-M1A-Active-Soundhole-Magnetic-Pickup-103213047-i1177543.gc?source=4WWRWXGP&kpid=103213047

@Wildgeas: YAY!
Downloaded - because I wish to cut it in to little loop-able pieces, toss it in to the air and see what happens.

Like these minimal harmonics!
Goodun. Kinda like the Byrds in their country phase.
Nice nice, Dennis. Too short!
Whooowow
Stuck it in the "Surrogate Band" playlist! http://alonetone.com/kavin/playlists/surrogate-band-pink-floyd-on-alonetone/edit
This classic has been done to death and most versions (including my own) are parody..but this one has an interesting take.
This got buried way too quick on the front page so I'm bumping it. Excellent, Jeff!
submerged aural dissonance
Glad I DL'd the album before the rpm site went down. Good one.
Welcome to the party Glenn!
Skeptical when I saw this posted, but yall made it work! Like the ebow solo too.
Nice vibe.
owow somehow I missed this one over at the SI site, very cool!
Brilliant. Cool exercise in random lyric writing.
Mr. CS sent me a stack of cds, and so far this one is my favorite. Must listen yawl! http://alonetone.com/cavestreet/playlists/miles-away
Great late night 70's jazz vibe to this!
