Dad wanted me to write him some funeral music. This is it. He's still alive at 91 and sings this song to himself and tears come to his eyes. I have a video of Dad and me singing a duet of this song.

A Song I wrote about a friend of mine who used to Jump out of planes a lot.
This is one of the hidden tracks on my new album "Black Cat" which features Beth, Keith and Reewfwalker from alonetone and Geir and Jim from Songcrafters.
Here is a…
An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…
This is a tune I picked up from alonetone a while back. Johnny did a piano version of "I'd Love to Change the World", and Michael Thomas from Cave Street added the outstanding vocals.
When Michael told me he was doing the vox on it, I wanted…
Also nearly unchanged from the demo version, although it still needs a bit of revision. Kept the title this time.
5 tracks guitar
1 bass
1 Indian toy/souvenir bowed instrument of unknown name
Sorry for killing the comments when I deleted…
I am noticing a patter in the musics like at minute five to minute five and a half I start to slow down and change up the systems.. anyway when i mixed the two things they came out like this.
Comments on Breaking Light's stuff
I like this a lot. Simple, effective and hypnotic. Kinda Police-ish, which I can never resist.
great stuff
Yes, a wonderful take on this.

As always, I love it. You are so patient with your music, it totally pays off.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!! w;-)
Fav'd from the start: peaceful and relaxing piece, very zen-ish!
Oh Yeah this is sweet! I'm thinking email notifications aren't working sometimes with the upgrades here. Almost missed this one
Would have been perfect for the mass.

another excellent alonetone artist that just dropped out of sight...
Wish I could get a clean gtr sound like this. My Tele has such a buzz. Nice.
Nice dynamics, method.
Great dynamics. Interesting method!
Great great James. I like the picture you took of him thru the window on FB.
this is wonderful!
Thanks Kirk, only guitar fx are the DL4, live looping, playing over a background of virtual Partch instruments altered and looped with Sound Doodle.
Nice violin and a bit of Latin vibe.
Great sounds in this playlist yawl! http://alonetone.com/inkfuel/playlists/near-the-east-coast-of-honshu Thanks for helping Japan.
cool sounds here. Like flute/synth/perc mix!
Still awesome ebowing!
Awesome additions to Johnny's version.
Excellent album, enjoying very much.
Yeah this is really good, didnt care for the autotune thing at the beginning, tho.
Nicely done, great album. Makes me want to read the book now.
Fantastic tone! Kinda short :(
Your songs are so tuneful, and great harmonies.
Cool piece acid but kind LOUD!
Wow. 2-3 minute ambient soundscapes. How do you do that? Like this project.
agree with Kirk, this is my 3rd listen here and at IF. Like the spare arrangement and the backward cymbals. The comic brings back a memory, too.
