Electric remake of one of my earlier tunes, "Truth". I'm probably not through with it. I typed every bit of percussion in with my computer keyboard! I hope it sounds good to you. Let me know, I can tweak it. The bass is mainly drones I set up…

I'm feeling new.
I'm seeing you.
I know right from my soul.
I don't need malady, baby, in my heart.
Rolling around.
Rolling ground, moving around the bend.
Is it true?
I'm in this mood.

An old Stephen Foster song (Pub. Domain)
Always waiting, hopeful sorrow.
Featuring my spouse, Marily!!!!
I could have picked a song to do her justice, next time. My phrasing is kind of hard to follow...
It's actually a redo of one of my earlier songs. I changed the lyrics a bit, the title and rerecorded the whole thing. The original is called, "I've Changed."
I've got a really painful head cold right now. I thought between bouts of pain I would…

Spring between winters.

If you're a Lou Reed fan, you may like this. As I developed the melody, I just cracked up about how my sound came out! I decided not to fight it...
It's still very rough. I'll return to this one, when I get some time. But most will understand…

A reverse take (recorded live at a gig) of a couple of Pink Floyd covers. The amazing Bill Pohl on 2nd guitar. It came out sounding strangely symphonic.
Instrumentation: fretless bass, tabla, acoustic and distorted acoustic guitar, hang drum samples (courtesy of Sudara), soft synth (AAS Ultra Analog), ambient sample of the jungle (pitched down two octaves) a sprinkle of ebow (from my Sudara files).
One of my favorite songs of all time and one of my favorite voices.
Thanks M.T.
My Skin
Some days I’m fine
Yeah some days I feel sublime
All the time
But then there’s days
I wanna crawl out of my skin

Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…
My first composition that uses an odd time signature for a few measures. My drum fills are also more elaborate. It's just a little tune to bob your head to, tap your toe, you know, the good stuff!
I just couldn't sit on this anymore! This is a work in progress. I have some ideas for lyrics, but am waiting for time and inspiration to complete it.
Enjoy,
Doug
i am thinking about words tonight
they can be hard as nails
they-can be as shapeless as water
they can break your heart
they can hang like a chain
hold you up for years
cause you to think twice
take away your fears
you are falling in love…
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…

the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
about a circus that self destructs and the damage left in it's wake. Yes, it's a weird and/or dark subject but as the lyrics are unintelligible it probably won't upset anybody.
Trapped, Suffocating Inside A Snowglobe.
Written in 2007 after a particularly brutal winter. (Spring was taking its precious time manifesting.)
It kind of expanded from there, taking on a new meaning, as the lyrics perculated.
Comments on Uncle's stuff
Like that fuzz bass effect!
cool stuff. like the groove and bluesy feel.
Interesting take on the old tune, with a little newness added,, you have a smooth voice
Liking your style big time, another gem!!!! Awesome, I love music like this. Deadly vocals.
delicate and lovely, this is great. Nice guitar and great vocals!!!!
Nice driving rhythm, I like the vocals, deep and doubled to either side like that. This is deadly stuff.
grunge blues soul, I really like this song.
Lovely feel - great playing!!
Beautiful song.
This is gorgeous - makes me think of late night cityscapes, walking with someone who I really shouldn't be walking with. Sharing chips and everything.
i love the depth of this. really beautiful track!
I am really enjoying this. I love the guitar layers. Great song.
Interesting track!. Didn't know you did instrumentals
Nice one man! Mix sounds great in headphones
I enjoyed this and the lyrics are clever.
That is an apt title. Very atmospheric.
Yeah- I can hear the Lou Reed in there alright! Dig it
Not familiar with Lou Reed, but this is great! Lovely feel, fab production. Vox sound excellent.
Wow, swelling seas! That's some mean undercurrent! (And - Yes! Another Ardour user!)
This is outstanding. Smooth recording.

Hah! Knip Dyolf! I love it!
Immediate and nicely directed.
Really nice developments. I was caught off guard by the delicacy to expansive transition. Binary winds.
Coming of age, again... Pieces of realization and acceptance. Contemplative.
Great developments... Swings! I really like the deliveries.
Wow Kirk! Peaceful, pensive. Great progression. Love the horn, too!
Hey Adam! Happy to hear you again! Nice rhythms. Bass power!
Thanks, Kirk! That means a lot!
Real comfortable feel. Nice performance.
So nice, good man! Contemplative, fluid. Sinking in...
Thanks, man! I've been too busy this spring. I'll get to some of your stuff asap! Peace! Doug
I don't think I would need to pick a fav, but this is it. I thought it would be the Jazz Mix. Surprise! Nicely done.
Nice weave, here. I lost track of time with it!
Thanks all. You are very kind. :)
Fascinating! Enjoyed!
Cool concept! Nice transitions. Wonderful series!
Bright! Expansive. This is wide and really nice! Great images. Nice vox. Effective simplicities and rhythms. Jazzyishness!
Sweet, delicate and reflective. Really nice phrasing. I was drawn by the title and kept by the emotion.
Peaceful. Enjoyable!
Fluid. Peaceful. Well done!
