I’m going down
To the ground
Half a step
Then look around
I make an unsettling sound
Devil in the details
Music is the thing
The flatted fifth
Makes a diabolic ring
Since you’ve gone
It’s all gone south
The dunces took over
Stupidity rules
They open their mouth
To prove they’re fools
You didn’t believe in god
And made me wonder how
If there was one
How could he allow
What evil has been done…
Since you’ve gone
It’s all gone south
The dunces took over
Stupidity rules
They open their mouth
To prove they’re fools
You didn’t believe in god
And made me wonder how
If there was one
How could he allow
What evil has been done…
Since you’ve gone
It’s all gone south
The dunces took over
Stupidity rules
They open their mouth
To prove they’re fools
You didn’t believe in god
And made me wonder how
If there was one
How could he allow
What evil has been done…
After creating an album every February since 2008 for the RPM Challenge, this year I decided to concentrate on just a song because well, stuff.
So this, an upbeat, optimistic love song. Bandcamp link and video soon to come.
“The expression…
HYSTERIA
poem by: T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)
As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved
in her laughter and being part of it, until her
teeth were only accidental stars with a talent
for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps…
Jqscutt had this guitar riff that he sent me and we worked out a song with bass, rhythm, lead and drums over the internet. I posted it for a collab for some key additions. This was added by TiS friends K-Lyd and Coruz. Later, they found Liam…
Well, here is a new version of this one. I was not playing my own guitar, but one of a friend, which doesn't sounds so bright. Anyway, i think this is a better interpretation, but still has some mistakes. (this time is well tuned..)

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…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
You’re scaring me man. That’s some evil rock and roll there. I love it!
Acoustic guitar slaps and pops with loopy loops wow. :) BW
Now that is pretty classy and cool ..... and I'm checking out that tuning ... mind you !?!? ....
This is gorgeous!
This is a tasty bit of music. I love those acoustic instrumental sounds.
Good clean sound acoustic electric semi-classical with a touch of Layla at the end. BW :)
Dark and light at the same time!
Wow
Very good sounds :) BW
Is good like a tubular bells thing. :)
Loving that dirty tone
Just awesome!
Wow, play that heavy metal Kavin.
very nice
lyrically shades of electronic counterpoint!
love the ambient words
a grackle is a bird, yeah?
strike it like it's hot 🥵 that percussion bangs
it's nice to hear you kavin. not only are you skilled, you are possessed by what some poets call duende
If you wanna go for the single option, this is how you do it - inventive, cool, fun, totally original. I feel stoned. Thanks.
Comments made by kavin.
nice spoken word piece and the music provides the perfect backdrop.
Good reinvention! Love DJ!
"open up your eyes and close your mouth.." How many times I've wanted to say that! Good job yawl!
Love this one. Really spoke to me but in a completely different way than your comment suggested.
I do too!
gettin my shotgun..
THis kicks.
Wow. I used to be able to play that on my 12 string (!) but never got near this proficiency on it. I'm impressed.
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!
