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…
Got bumps on my body
One under my eye
Been there since birth
I don't know why
Have one on my leg and one on my back
I guess it's better than having a heart attack
Someone said "Know thyself" he was pretty wise
I thought I knew me pretty…
Had the blues in Alabama
Had the blues in Texas too
Had the blues all over
Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble
Trouble…

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…

a 13 minute improvisation I played on a newly tuned Steinway grand piano at my Church. The only audience was my Zoom H2 – which is probably good since there are a few glaring “misses” in the performance. I love the joy of just playing but it does…
This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…
Anyone who knows me realizes I dig electronic music....yet have no idea what I am doing when it comes to creating it! This is just some groovy randomness messing around with new studio equipment.
An EVH-inspired instrumental. I couldn't come up with a fancier name, so Boogie Train it is! This is straight up Hard Rock 80s style. No dabbling in other genres to mess up this song. Heh. Leave some comments if you please. Believe it or not…
This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
Got a guitar for my birthday... I have been trying to learn how to play it. This is a cover of an old Smiths song I tried to tackle for Lesson 10 "Finger Picking."
12.10.2013: rerecorded at slightly faster tempo; added small amount of distortion…
Little improv from an album I'm working on. Single track w/electric zither, electro harmonix memory toy, tc electronic corona chorus, Live 6LE w/chordal effect on track.
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Aw, a fitting tribute! Great cover, K!
Hey would be proud, perfect.
According to the Men in Black, Elvis is not dead. He just went home. Brit did a nice job. ER
way cool - i dig it
Ohmygod! And you made a song about it! EEEEEEK. ER
This describes my writing process perfectly. ER
exceptional!
Your lyrics are very good in this. The imagery is excellent. In my mind I can see what you saw. Well done. ER
...Johnny is sitting up there on a cloud listening to this and smiling...great!
Everybody's got the Blues.... ooh yeh!!!! now i got the Blues....
Awesome stuff!
Yes, ethereal is a very good word for this one. Nice work!
Was just about to fave this again! Great big fat sounds! Brilliant RPM album, Kavin! Your best ever, IMHO.
Great playing - great vocal! Very tight!
Good to hear another incarnation of your wonderful music! Beautiful, Kavin!
thanks Sis. Daughter Brit did the vocal in the middle!
Sound like the collab worked out mighty well. ;) Nice arrangement
Killer, love it!
Yep a steel drum sample it is...i'm not really sure where i even got them, but i have a bunch. All i was trying to do was fix a drum kit is was building and BAM! ended up in loop land for a while.
Haha! Totally brilliant!!! Playing is fabulous, and the vox arrangement is too cool! Who is the female vocalist?
Comments made by kavin.
Uh..wow
Dig that dub!
Great sounds your doing here.
Free flowing musical expression and lots of ideas here, like a deconstructed Let It Be in places.
A favorite Hendrix tune of mine, good versh.
Nice combo. Those Ov 12's seem to be making a resurgence. I almost bought one a few months ago but the owner and I couldn't agree on a price.
Cool. And love the title!
Really nice work. Welcome to alonetone!
I like this alot, but you should at least credit that you sampled a Jefferson Airplane song.
Cool. I'll be following along. I kind of do the same thing every week over at Sound-In.
Great driving sound on this track.. but seems unfinished? Or maybe you were just going for the minimalist, which is good.
Get Down!
That's pretty cool.
Pretty great, but is this legal?
Neat project and awesome sounds!
nice kaleidoscopic guitar
Lovely, pure acoustic sound. Holy. Wow.
Excellent, very well done.
Very nice, you have a good head start.
whheeee!
