hey bud, thanks for sharing yer stuff with the rest of us. Yer oldies are just as great as yer new stuff is. I wish there was a better format on AT so that the oldies don't get buried. A lot of us have some hidden treasures buried away.
A test run with my new Line 6 DL4 delay pedal. Recorded with a handheld mp3 recorder, hence the ambient room noise. The DL4 was fed into a BOSS loop pedal also. No overdubs, all on the fly.
for the 2009 RPM Challenge album "Sabbatical"
Standing at the edge of Canyon de Chelly in Arizona at sunrise last summer I had an out of body experience.
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
Hey thanks for the comment on 'Buzz killer'! Jake
this is beautiful makes me feel so at peace and whats that track in the background at about 1:05
Nice music for a rainy day....
Sounds like a musical rocking chair....or porch swing...has me swaying in my seat.
like your style man/your son eric as well... very inviting guitar spins....'Suspended sea' is still my favorite.
thanks. Son Eric on bass, friend Phil on Edrums. I just served as producer on this 'un.
raw drums n bass...and the bass line itself is pretty cool
Ha ha, wow!!
i think the drum work is really well done. making E drums sound improvised take some work.
when it comes to classes of musicians, rank you in the highest one.
nice layers!
oh slides!
meaty tones, embodiment.
There's some pretty mean playing there, boy!
Very cool kavin. Digging this one. If i only had your skills with the slide. ;)
Nice -- I've always loved this song in general, and you did a good job covering it.

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.
