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.
Just got home after staying with a band of "Savages". Unpacking my stuff and thought, "This is how I'm feeling!"
Lovely, atmospheric piece. Well played!
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…
from the album "the Hardest Blow" featuring vocals from Jana Persson (strumming dude) and lead guitars from Paul Lennon (Wildgeas)
Red and white, black and blue
Close me off, soak me through
Trade it all, fall down low
Sooth my wound, never…
from "the Hardest Blow" featuring vocals from Tess Savigear and solo guitar from Kavin Allenson
It’s name is sadly the same as me, without me
It cannot follow through doorways, the same way
Just saw the rainbow fall over
It’s game remembers…

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…
My girlfriend was born in the Middle East, that's why I've come to listen a lot to Arab, Persian, Turkish, and Tuareg music. I improvised this song within a few early morning hours after coming home from a concert by the incredible Tuareg rock…
I was reading this profile on MySpace and was impressed with this girl...really impressed. It's all there in her BIO. Masters degree and five languages. The part about using gender "stereotypes ironically" etc is an exact quote.
SKIN TONE…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
:-D Thanks fella! Ace track!! Completely cool.
Man you sure are a top guitarist this is very cool.
Great guitar mate really nice
That's is some crazy good natural verb going on.
I thought I already faved this. Bad Tess. Very cool track, k.!
Very cool - enjoyed both versions (do love your vox on this track though).
What a kick as track! w;-)
This is really cool Kavin. You play a top guitar mate.
The guitar, as an instrument to express yourself, demands presence of internal force and spirit. Here it is.
Sounds awesome!

thanks. @ vaisvil, no overdubbed the synth later just for a little spice.
I have to try that tuning now. This is very cool!
can't say I'm done 4ths - I'm usually fixated on 5ths - nice improv - did you play the synth at the same time?
Always envy those guitarists for what they can do by simply retuning some strings :-)
beautiful.
i'm really feeling this one... and wishing i could get my hands on a resophonic guitar.
This takes me on a musical cruise. I love the rolling groove.
cooltunings
Big difference from 4x11. I guess it's the Taylor eh? Nice sounding guitar.
Comments made by kavin.
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.
Really good. like how you worked around the repeating guitar figure. Kind of a Turkish, mid-eastern sound.
Heheh. Classic JMT.
Hey Norm, no prob, there's no copyright on song titles! Stinkbug was my daughter's nickname when she was small. thanks!
Que genial!
owell, nice try. Some tasty stuff here, tho.
