Really nothing more than some voice leading practice. Unfortunately, I had no keyboard or orchestral samples when I did this, so I used Lilypond and TiMidity++ and step programmed it in a text editor. I've since bought Cubase and EastWest/QuantumLeap…
very 18th century classical in sound,,, a very clean sound (when i try to mix multiple tracks of this type of instruments it often seems muddy to me, but this is clear),, are you by chance a Haydn or Mozart fan?,, really nice,, you give me inspiration to try something like this well played R

Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.
One from a year ago or so. Never was happy with the recording quality, but never got around to re recording it. My attempt at a kind of late 70's Phil Keaggy thing
Yo-Yo Ma uploaded this cello part on indabamusic and invited others to create with it. I thought it was a cool idea. I had help with this christmas song from Matthiew, a wandering Parisian trumpet player.

I love it. A Krimson feel to it.
This is big screen quality - Fantastic!
Exceptional Doug. Very elegant.
More beauty. Love your ethereal new age stuff, and this is no exception. So pretty and inspiring. Am uplifted.
...And by the way, this song is outstanding!!!
This probably had the fastest transition from Alonetone-upload to my iPod in the history of akin transitions!
You certainly are master of the wonderful melody Doug.
A beautiful melody here.
Oh how civilised! A touch of class!
Lovely piece, melodic and full.
quite Oldfieldian, and although it stands on its own as is, i think it deserves you try and finish it..
Sweet!
Sweet.
Really lovely stuff Doug!
Just wonderful! STUNNING! Oh my...disarming!
Like it!
