RPM day 2
Now I ain’t no groundhog baby
I can barely see my shoes
If I see a shadow it’s cos I’ve got the blues
If you want a weather forecast
I suggest that you watch the news
But I tell you something I can predict
There will be 6 more…
RPMers I salute you
Ice ice everywhere like a skating rink
I don’t wanna go nowhere
I don’t wanna think
I’ll just stay inside press record and sing
RPM is here
it’s 2am what else to do
Make up rhymes strum a chord
Find a good groove…
Song 3 for the RPM Challenge
Fly away
Leave it now
You’re time has come
Earn that beautiful reward
Time is cruel
It is never kind
We can only hope to find
Some love and joy
For awhile when we’re here
Years marched by
Through…
RPMers I salute you
Ice ice everywhere like a skating rink
I don’t wanna go nowhere
I don’t wanna think
I’ll just stay inside press record and sing
RPM is here
it’s 2am what else to do
Make up rhymes strum a chord
Find a good groove…

The faucet drips the wind don’t blow
The sun won’t set the day is long
When I’m away and you’re not here
The time is slow because love is gone
Shadows creep across the lawn
The day won’t end to bring the dawn
I’m not here my thoughts they…

For 2011 RPM Challenge album John the Resonator
A Sword and Sorcery parody. With Elvis.
Daughter Brit sang the vocal in the middle part.
Elvis was the mountain king
Who ruled the land of El-Karyaang
His wife Priscilla lady fair
Was taken…
I’m going down
To the ground
Half a step
Then look around
I make an unsettling sound
Devil in the details
Music is the thing
The flatted fifth
Makes a diabolic ring

shard hopping...or hard shopping? either way, this little remix-expansion of Kavin's "shards" is one of 21 "duos" on an album I'm releasing next week @ bandcamp.
made this for the recent indaba contest; kept mine true to Reich in some ways but put some new spins on it. my main rule was to use only the orig for sound sources.
This track was my attempted submission for Ramen Music #001. I finally got around to uploading it here.
It was made using several instances of the Max for Live instrument "Loop Shifter" that I played in real-time using my Novation Launchpad…

Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Very intense and meditative at the same time. Great!
that is great....yup depressing, true, ....but you made music!
Hey that is awesome (and hilarious too)! Great groove and love the lyrics!! (Fellow RPMer)
This is a very touching song. Well done! :) BW
right from the start it's a catchy groove.
too cool Kavin.
I think I've been here before. :) Love it man.
A refreshingly clever blues tune, but kind of depressing too. :) BW
Good slide song. On the verge of greatness. :) BW
Kind of a nice flowing Asian flavor on this one. :) BW
wow love this --- yeah record everything --- that is a must- :)
Not just good but good for ya too :) BW
"oOoHhHmMm" m'hmm ...wild , yeah!
Super Duper almost country! Sounds kind of familiar. JK LOL :) BW
That's a good thing. Bass players are often overlooked. it's a talent on it's own. Good job. I play lots of instruments but always loved bass.
That was fantastic ! Thanks for pointing it out.
Super Duper! Sounds kind of Pink Floyd style. :) BW
Nice
Ooh yeah! Love it
Super scary…. What happens if we play it backwards like the White Album?
Comments made by kavin.
Wow! You must have some organizational skills...great mash! I like the reversed gtr and various treatments.
Cheers Chris! Fantastic video too.
Yay! I like the contrast of fluttering flute with the violent smashing sounds being triggered by the percussion perhaps?
good luck, hope you win. A great entry!
This rocks hard! Congratulations on finishing this project!
Dynamic, slightly atonal. Nice!
excellent cover!
@jarvis: Squier Tele run thru son Eric's POD XT.
might be a leeetle to experimental for what they want for Ramen, but I liked it! Bethan singing? Really?
O lovely, really good improv!
If that's MiDI,has a great live sound, hard to accomplish. Brilliant playing too. Very impressive,doesn't need vocals, IMO.
Wild mechanistic nightmare with a Magma choir!
this Hardest Blow project is really awesome! Cant wait to hear it all in it's entahrety.
@AFC- it reminds me of early Scorpions, hence the heavy metal observation..heavy metal lite? Ah well, screw genres...
Love how this turned out! I don't get to do heavy metal often, that was fun!
It's hard to get this expressiveness from an ebow, well done!
always dig long drum solos if interesting, and this sure is. DL'd to mess around with later.
Lovely slide playing there.
Drop-D tuning, Cap. And yes BJ the chording is direct influence from NY's unplugged Mr. Soul, you have a keen ear sir.
good boogie.
