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
Your father was very sensible that night!
So well presented Kavin, thanks!

Inspired by a gorgeous recording on a wax cylinder by the composer, Tanburi Cemil Bey (1873-1916).
Performed on politiki lyra (classic kemençe), a small bowed fiddle from Istanbul.
Recorded at The Banff Centre, November 2008.
Have you ever eaten ice cream too fast, got that headache and then you spilled the words out all wrong. Well that’s me.
I decided to dig my old Peavey Fury (bass) out of the closet several months ago. It’s been about 15 years since I had played…
I went into the studio to record something I wrote... I came out to find out that 32 students had been gunned down... I already had the mandolin song and melody with a writing direction... and this senseless evil really derailed the whole thing…
Something just broke and I think it's my heart
It wasn't an arrow. It wasn't a dart
It mighta been a meter that tore it apart
But, something just broke and I think it's my heart

A bedside bomb with no alarm…
...after reading John Steinbeck's IN DUBIOUS BATTLE and watching the John Ford movie of GRAPES OF WRATH. The opening and closing statements are quotes from the Preacher in the movie.
A friend said he wanted to do a video of this track. I…
deeper and deeper i fall to sleep
and i am with you again
i can't wake up and face the loneliness
i won't feel love without you
hear the shattered lines, miles and days
didn't want to go away
nothing i can say
now the only way

24 hour EP more than 24 hours late. I was going to title it "Perpetual Interruptions EP" but I went for something more positive. Due to weird bug in some part of my set up, there is a kick drum in only one side of the stereo for the first few…
24 hours of music making for 2008.
Yup. This is a "Gaiman variation" which means that I stopped at 24 hours and this is what I've got. Not 24 min, but it is a "Noble Failure"

Comments on kavin.'s stuff
A very sweet rambling acoustic improvisation!
Very nice man, little hints and ideas floating all over in this one. I also enjoyed the harmonic slaps in this and the lead runs back and forth p
Acoustic and rambling.....nice improv J
ah, nice! Makes me want to try an acoustic release this year!
pretty chords, great tone & harmonics!
Nice! I really enjoyed the section with the slapped harmonics about 3 or 4 minutes in
Sweet Guitar tone, nice moves
i quite agree...haven't heard it in a while though.....great stuff
Damn! This is great! I somehow missed this one
Pretty Neat Kavster!
FNG! Texas Magic.
Neat track! Thanks for sharing this special memory!
Thanks, all. A memory blast for me finding this. The store is closed now, of course.
Hate to say it, but I'm old enough to remember that morning.
Oh well played! Beautiful stuff! Merry Christmas Kavin!
Your father was very sensible that night! So well presented Kavin, thanks! My mother (5) was awoken by her grandfather to show her the Araura Borealis, she said it was a gigantic purple curtain floating in the sky.
Oooo, this is nice! Astoundingly good!
Cool
wow! a beautiful memory - very cool. I've only seen just a few meteors so I'm glad to hear your story!
Interesting story and totally unexpected, at least for me.

Boosted db a bit to get it on par with the rest of the tunes on the EP.

Added bass guitar and remixed.
heheh Enigma on acid. Pretty wild!
These little looped guitar pieces are inspiring.
I am enjoying all yer tracks, BB. Simply great!
Love the sound of this instrument!
Sounds like the Dead. But better. Got anymore?
Fantastic. It's hard to maintain listener interest over 10 min. but you did it here.
@SisterSavage Thank you for the honor!
Great work. Thanks.
Just don't break the vocal chords. Love it.
Awright yawl! JMT is here!
Nice guitar textures, Limbo.
great atmospherics on this one!
Great listen from start to finish. Analog synths?
Re:Rewind Nobody Home?
The tranquil intro prepares you not for the electronic mayhem that ensues. Nice mellotron.
Hell of a good "failure". Is that Brian Eno speaking in the middle? The instrumental passages after that are stunningly beautiful.
