I've listened to your entire album, and I enjoyed it a great deal. Made me envious that I can't pluck the strings like you can, but that's my cross to bear. Well done.

Beautiful, Kavin. I ;ove the way things meld here. Leads the mind off and away. And yes, I guess that would be voices from Dreamtime. Although I did mix cultures (Australian/ Native American). But that would be me all over!
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…
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…

I really enjoyed this. It all worked very nicely together.
Splendid and uniquely creative. Nice blend of sounds.
Yes - I love it.

A breath of fresh air :) w;-)
The sun's finally shining this morning, and this song is the perfect compliment to start of the day. Well done.
Lucky birds. This is peaceful and sweet. Feel like I'm sitting on your porch in one of those lovely swing chair things. Drinking lemon tea.
Nice one mate very cool.
Love the way you hold the space in this it's time well spent - thank you!
I like the subtle nature samples too, nice touch
Thats a beaut of a song.
beautiful (I'm trying not to scare off the birds)
Sweet!
Beautiful playing and something reminiscent of Glu about the birdsong & engine noise which works really well here. Kudos!

Fantastic playing. I like this a lot!
Great job covering this one!
Wow. Just wow. This just draws me in and mesmerizes me.
Oh yeah! Great bit of moodiness and I really dig the instrumental breaks.
@kirklynch CGDGBD I think....could be wrong but that's close. Need to revisit it and learn it!

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.
Really good. like how you worked around the repeating guitar figure. Kind of a Turkish, mid-eastern sound.
Heheh. Classic JMT.
