I sent the tracks for this tune to a friend of mine who owns a professional studio. I gave him no instructions on how to mix it, as I wanted someone else's take on the music. He created a very dry, intimate mix, focusing more on the acoustic guitars…
this would have fit well earlier tonight when I was floating in the pool on my back. Looking up at the stars. IF I coulda heard it with my head underwater. heh. ..oops AND friend.
Beautiful work from Mr. Doug Sparkling. ...not a typo.

Welcome to my 300th Alonetone upload! I sit with a pile of books to read in a house full of boxes and my studio is not even completely set up; however, I had no choice but to write and record this tune today once the sun went down. This song is…
This is an old one...just wanted to share it.
Do you feel the tears fall
fall from heaven
gathering as puddles at your feet
does it stain your shoes?
if i stay long...no I won't
i won't bare it any longer
do you feel the heart sigh…
For the upcoming Mobtown Modern show "Low Art" next Wednesday, Brian Sacawa will perform (among other pieces in the jumbo saxophone repertoire) "Maknongan" by Giacinto Scelsi (performed on bari sax). For the event, Brian asked me to create a remix…
Created this loop at a gig and saved it to the looper. When I got home, dumped it to Logic and added some ebow.
The name is a character from a book I'm reading "The Last Hawk" by Catherine Asaro.
Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…
Glitchatom-1 is the first in a series of experimental pieces where I'm trying to learn about glitching and get more familiar with Reaktor.
In this piece I'm using Peter Dines [Frankenloop ensemble](http://kore.noisepages.com/2008/06/20/introducing…
A 30 minute track (creation time).
Went for dinner with friends that were having trouble getting along.
They were in my thoughts whilst I put this together.
Standing on a shore and gazing towards the open sea. Someone has left or dead or drowned maybe. The still sea seems darker than before or is it my mind...
Another older song, this is my attempt to sound like one of my all-time favorites, Robin Trower. While he never used horns in his songs, I like them (being a former sax player), so I used them in this song to enhance the sound. Let me know what…
A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing.

Captivating and soothing.
Very well done...such clarity of all the instruments without losing unity. I love your cover art. Do you do it yourself?

Happy 300! Excellent as always.
Wow, how'd I miss this one. What a voice...lovely song. The sparseness is perfect.
Honest, heartfelt, and beautiful to boot. Nice...

Brilliant.
Gotta agree with mmi...genius indeed. I can't wait to hear the stuff you put out once you "learn it." :)
You got a great track out of it. I dig the blend of synth/guitar.
another nice palette of sounds and atmosphere.
Haunting.
Lovely, this is a wonderful track - you have a gift.
I totally dig the guitars. Creative and playful, nice variety of sounds. Like the horns too (I'm also a former sax player)
Very nice, subtle, wonderful atmosphere. . Makes me want to get out the guitar and looper.
Great all the way around.
