My father brought a koto back from Japan after WWII, I thought this might be a good time…
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…

Dude! Thanks so much for this... I've just been overwhelmed with emotion lately regarding this disaster.... I felt moved to record an impov, but just haven't yet found the time/space to do it... I really appreciate this. Peace, Michael

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
This is beautiful... w;-) BTW sent you a pm on FB
very nice!
It's an exotic sounding instrument but most distinctive. Thanks for that.
I just have to say that this is fairly incredibly excellent... just sayin'!
I've never taken a quaalude, but I imagine this is what it feels like... well done, I prefer my drugs to be musical!
Kirk nailed it... nice one.
*love it*. reminds me of the Crim

great flow. nice background sounds to work to.
this is really nice. picking is reminicent of Lindsay Buckingham.
Beautiful tribute.
Glad you took it down off the wall. Great sound!
Lovely sounding instrument. Could use a flute accompaniment.
bless you!
The revolutionary spirit of Texas. Miraculously survived.
the folk-raga-blues subtle & noisy psychedelic *Love it!*
Nice ambient feel to this track; it sets a nice mood.
Lovely!
Junkie says 'hi'
this is gooood stuff!

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.
