A not very cheerful Christmas song I wrote for the RPM Holiday Challenge. Based on the classic Arthur C. Clarke science fiction story "The Star". http://faculty.winthrop.edu/kosterj/engl510/star.htm
Light years out and an eternity back to…
This has several riffs that remind me of one of my favorite guitarists: Robin Trower. I have several of his CD's from the 70's, and you play as well as he did.

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.

This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.

So Jim of "Movement to Contact" asked me a couple of weeks ago to send him something...
I had no idea how ridiculously good the final result would come out.

Such good fun I do it all the time.
Single Gon Bops conga track miced for heavy bass. And 2 tracks of cow bell, of course.

Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
You look out the window and the creek is swelling. Slowly crossing the lawn and heading up the driveway.... Time to get the lawnmower to higher ground.

I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…
There is nothing like the presence of a horse. The quiet understanding. The gentle strength.

Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Nicely done Kavin. Brilliant.
Nice tune. He was and still is one of my favorite authors.
Oh this is nice! Love that twang!!
Listening to this again and i think Norm describes it well. its awesome
Awesome track!
Oooh, perfect sound, wonderful.
this is beautiful - I love the slide. Gosh I sound so amateurish compared to you guys (and Kirk, and Bethan, and Tess, and ..... I'm just wow'd .
Very nice playing and singing!
I like your interpretation of this song. Found myself singing along. Well done. ER

Like this very much. The lyrics are very good, as are the vocals. Nice guitar work, too. ER
Now this iss just beauty. Really great song. I realy like the vocals. Reso sounds like heaven. Top track guys.
I really like this one. ALt tuning always demands a second listen i think, particularly from a guitar standpoint. Really rich a 2:30
I love it too - fabulous performances from everyone!
Sweet song! I can see why it's a favorite of yours
Good one.
like it!
It makes me feel like I'm in the desert.. making my way Home...
Great!
Lovely stuff Kavin! The reversed bit at the end is really effective

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.
Some dark, experimental stuff on this album. Digging it.
Always a big compliment to get a smiley from Mac! :)
..and MTC Jim!
very nice Keith. Where exactly was that playlist pic taken?
you are a rhythm machine man! I'll be stealing this 'un for sure!
saweeet...sounds like slide but it's fretless! Did you break out the DL4 for this?
Hope your heads above water my friend, great tune!
Never say never! A well executed loop piece. C'mon Bethan, give it another try!
nice Krautrock sound to this. powerful.
some of by best perfs have been in guitar centers, playing with the really expensive strings I can't afford.
Great one Jim. Love the narrative approach there.
thanks. Son Eric on bass, friend Phil on Edrums. I just served as producer on this 'un.
nicely chilled!
welcome to alonetone Jukka! Glad you're hear.
I never would have imagined this "odd couple" together but the gating was an ingenious idea!
