@captgene: I just changed strings with the Elixir Resonator pack, which uses heavier gauge, but busted the G right off the bat, not impressed but pretty good tone on the remaining 5. Some sliders have told me they don't care for the tone of coated strings. I should prob. start a thread in the forum for this..

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
damn this is great
This reminds me of the movie crossroads. You sir are a blues master. Great friggin stuff!

Lovely guitar there Kavin, and enjoyed the beautious sounds.
awesome ashcan guitar. Try a set of GHS super thin strings for it, they cheap but good.
:( Can't get this to play for me. Ah, no, ignore that...it just began after a sticky start. Lovely intricate piece - so many melodic strands!
Hahahaha!
:)
12 string heaven!
I enjoyed this performance and compositional idea a lot - nice one!
HAHA! I needed a good laugh this morning and that was sure it!
Wonderful! Almost sounds like 2 guitars in places
Ha ha ha!! Great fun!
Wow, what a sound. No idea whatever the "About" means, but sounds great to me.
very nice, there's a lot going on here,, takes really listening to not just hearing, and yes i agree it rings out well....
Top sound Kavin very cool mate. Dig the way a 12 string rings out. This is really good guitar playing mate. Excellent.
thanks,,yesss it is pretty funny,, almost fell off my chair,,thanks for sharing
Great slide! Great tune, well done!
Wonderful journey! And I love the reversed part - lends such a great touch.
Ahhhhhh yeah.....beauty song
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.
