john lee hooker, I SHOULD be listening to too much of him. I feel I leave out so much of the rhythmical aspects of the guitar. You can have a louder than drums sound from a guitar and if you can work your way around that there guitar you can definitely add more than what drums have to offer. Excellent song here Kavin. Cheerz.
Mellow morning mist fall
Melting into day
This summer said son, you are lazy
Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love
Soon the air will turn colder…
Sunday aftnoon (11/09/08) took the reso down to the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum and recorded some doodling inside the Serra sculpture Vortex. No effects added, all natural reverb inside the structure.
A fingerpicky tune from the old days.
The different guitar voices (nylon string classical and Guild 12-string) were attained using a Line 6 Variax 600 modeling guitar. Great for recording, but I returned it because of some minor issues.

HYSTERIA
poem by: T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)
As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved
in her laughter and being part of it, until her
teeth were only accidental stars with a talent
for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps…
Jqscutt had this guitar riff that he sent me and we worked out a song with bass, rhythm, lead and drums over the internet. I posted it for a collab for some key additions. This was added by TiS friends K-Lyd and Coruz. Later, they found Liam…
Well, here is a new version of this one. I was not playing my own guitar, but one of a friend, which doesn't sounds so bright. Anyway, i think this is a better interpretation, but still has some mistakes. (this time is well tuned..)

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…

There's quite a journey to be had here - what a cool feel from the slide guitar!
Grrreat slide there Kavin!
Ohhh! That was great! Well played!
Wow! National Resonator. How old is that guitar? It sounds sensational.
Comments made by kavin.
nice spoken word piece and the music provides the perfect backdrop.
Good reinvention! Love DJ!
"open up your eyes and close your mouth.." How many times I've wanted to say that! Good job yawl!
Love this one. Really spoke to me but in a completely different way than your comment suggested.
I do too!
gettin my shotgun..
THis kicks.
Wow. I used to be able to play that on my 12 string (!) but never got near this proficiency on it. I'm impressed.
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!
