Totally unique sound you've developed with these BL tracks. Great stuff! I have to wonder though how this went over at a place called "super happy funland". With that name I figured you'd have to dress in a clown suit and play the beer barrel polka!
Thanks man! Your stuff is so intense...only way I can describe it...it's real and true to you. A very unique approach your guitar and the music that you generate. I reminds me a lot of something my father told me, he said he never "wrote" a song...well never sat and wrote it out...he would be sitting there or sleeping and it like a radio station turned on...tuned him into a certain channel and he would just write..I get the same thing...and something about your music tells me you do to. Thanks for the listens and comments...I am a fan ;)
You're right SS, I thought of whales too, may have to retitle it now! @Joe: I think it's C6 tuning, which is standard ps tuning, I could be wrong. As some of you know my BL stuff is heavily inspired by Susan Alcorn, and esp. this piece. Look her up on YT and elsewhere, she's incredible.
Recorded: August 1, 2009
Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGAD - capo II), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, EBow, Audacity, Sound Forge.
New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
This song always puts you in a weird mood...forcibly sways your emotional state. There’s some kind of weird juju laced in that song that screws with your emotions no matter how you're feeling.
This song uses a lot of layers for bass along with…
A Prog Rock instrumental with guitar and keyboard melodies and solos. Three parts to this song. Depicting peace and joy on The Path of Light. A cross between Yes and jam band music. Randal Pflum, all instruments except drums.
Great great stuff. And glad to find your album on eMusic. I would compare this music to more obscure prog groups, like Happy the Man, Minimum Vital, etc.
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…
Saw an add on TV for something called "Drag Me To Hell". Dunno what it is with horror films, but apparently scary music is on my mind. Thanks for helping exorcise it.
The guitar part, btw, is e-bow plus slide so any tonality is an accident.
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
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…
Took sandbags' [Rytme Shifter 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/rytme-shifter-1) and added my special brand of guitar incompetence.
I bought myself an E-Bow this week and this track was just perfect for playing around. After a day of wankery…
It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.

heheh that's funny Kirk! All 6 people in the audience seemed to enjoy it! :-) The clown suit might help...

Agree with Kirk - some lovely dark feelings here.
Cool! Really liking this particularly haunting section around 15 minutes
thanks sis, and mercifully short too!
Lovely, mercurial sounds!
it's often the imperfections that make art come alive. digging this.
What Paul said. Lots of potential. Nice loop!
Lots of potential here.
very cool FXs> using a bow on this right? love the sound
Very cool... Great to listen to while grading these algebra quizzes!
Im getting a Pink Floyd/Yes. vibe, rock on.
Very smooth sounds, love the texture you got going on on this one
Fascinating sounds! Always wanted to have a go at pedal steel myself

Reminds me of whale song! Gorgeous!

Fab. Could have listened to that for hours.
Sister's nailed it!

Nice long chill track! Keep on!
This is beauty. Glad to see you back in action, Doug. Can't wait to hear the rest of your 24 when it's done.
Good find Kirk. How about some pipes laid over the top?
This is very nice.
Soulful pickin'!
Don't know how I missed this one until now. You speak my language well.
This is just pure genius. Beauty.
Great great stuff. And glad to find your album on eMusic. I would compare this music to more obscure prog groups, like Happy the Man, Minimum Vital, etc.
Been getting into your RPM album and enjoying it very much. Love your cassette logo too.
I've always liked the sound of those pipes and this is a great showcase for your playing. I got visions of windswept moors and lonely seashores.
If you want, check out the video. Go to "about" and "view more".

ebow+slide=scary Love it.
This is lovely fingerstyle. These pieces of yours may push me back to playing more acoustic.
This one's right up my alley. I haven't listened to all your stuff, but this is the best yet. Goood!
To kirklynch: yes, tap rhythm and bass looped on the DL4 then bounced to Rc20 to add more instruments and longer loops. thanks
Beauty in subtlety. Good job. I'm going ebow real soon.
Thought I was listening to Rick Danko and The Band. Good work.
