live @ Dunn Bros. in Keller, Tx. 1/29/10
Took me awhile to get my legs here, as evidenced by the sloppy playing. The bulk of this is the tune "Blue Hour".
Our sun is in a long, cool, quiet period right now. But average ocean temps are the highest ever, and polar ice and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. Something is going on here.
Opened for Hentai Improvising Orchestra at 1919 Hemphill in Fort Worth. A 26 minute piece, I had to edit it down to this because of some nasty noise spikes on the louder bits. So whats left is a very sleepy piece.
An octave pedal would be fun to play with on the keys too. I have used a wah wah and distortion pedal on some of my songs. You can have two instruments hooked up to this at the same time? O man..the possibilities.. Great work.

this reminds me of an episode of the Simpson's where there was a chili cook-off and Homer had the hottest chili available at the festival. Then, Homer went into an alternate world and a coyote was talking to him, asking him to find his soul mate. The atmosphere Homer found himself in must have sounded something like this.
Nice work guy.

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
Enchanting... :)
Gorgeous interplay between guitar and flute! VERY ethereal.
I'm trying to give this one a listen but nothing seems to be playing for me right now. I'll try again later. I'm sure it's great.
Very cool. Lovely tones!
Love those reverse effects! Cool stuff!
wild tune.
Wish I'd been there. This is great man! Love the way it comes together after about the 6 minute mark. This is a lovely start to my day
Hey Thanks,Catching Up After The Holidays,Hope You Have A Creative New Year!
How did I miss this? Wow - what a track! w;-)
Love it. This is serious business.

Love this one, man. Note to self, improve my recording technique so that sound at least half this good...
Great sounds...
Now, I'm going to start experimenting with my Octave pedal. thanks guy. keep up the good work.
Don't wait for an excuse! Love this!
Sweet and sour stuff.
Use that excuse more often! Great track! w;-)
Man, I love leaving your stuff playing as I just sit back and listen. The diversity of guitar players on here is lotsa fun.

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.
