2010 RPM Challenge
i like this a lot. the first thing that comes to mind is nostalgia. the loops are very well put together, i found myself just staring off into the middle distance, pushed into some emotions unintentionally by the guidance of this track.
you have a very nice style.
by any chance do you listen to bibio?
This is the first tune for my 2010 RPM Challenge.
A bit short...my first attempt earlier in the evening (completely different tune) I ended up scrapping at 1:30 a.m., so this one was done in just a few minutes...

triple favourite!!! man i love this. reminds me of something. not sure what but its kick ass. RPM seems to be going really well for people this year.. not me yet unfortunately!! Good luck with the rest doug!
This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
Noodling with the "art guitar" in DADGAD tuning in the Serra sculpture Vortex at the FW MOMA. No fx added, all natural reverb/delay inside the structure.
Perpetual motion of things that will not stop even when we're no longer here. Strange feeling.

A simple as it is musically, this song pretty much sums it all up for me. What started as the simple appreciation of a hiking t-shirt evolved into this song about the duality of this domesticated artist who recognizes the importance of wandering…
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…

A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…
I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…

This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Gorgeous.
Loverly, Doug! Nice tone on that guitar.
Another lovely one! Looking forward to the next.
Dig all of the guitar layers going on in this one!
What a lovely track. Beautiful, strong and unspoilt, bit like Finisterre really.
There is a very pretty melody inside here.
Beautiful!
Yeah, I'd have trouble sleeping too with musical ideas like this.
Interesting sounds Doug. Colorful.
Woah, makes me think of a masqued ball, opium, and sooth sayers.
Pretty wacky stuff there man! Fun
I think if you pulled that off key flanger type effect back into key or normal after 30 secs or so it would be better.
Very cool mate nice one
Cool track!
Yes, very thought-provoking. Looking forward to your album!
Nice one man! Love those ebow melodies that come in near the end
*Love* it.
More great ambience, Doug. Almost trance inducing, recalls visions of hazy memories.

Awesome and way better than the new Davey Spillane...not pure shyte!
Nice! And reminds me that I really need to dig up Acoustic Sketches someday...
Kavin + DADGAD, you know I already like it!
Beautiful. Music is your soul!
Amazing!
Oh yeah, this is awesome!
Had me hooked in the first five seconds. Lovely acoustic.
Shit, this brings back some memories...
Love this. Hard to go wrong with piano and strings! Nice simple (and beautiful) melody, just the way it should be...
You're still doing great music, so glad to hear it!
Nice ray gun sounds. Fun!
Thanks for your comments on Frozen Roads. Dang, I don't even remember recording that thing! Uploaded 5 years ago...wow :)
Yeah, man, that's awesome!
Nice!
Still nice, one of my favorites. Is that a tune Seamus Ennis played? My Irish record collection has gotten quite dusty...
This so rocks! Must be from a few years before I met you.
Nice sounding geetar and love the track.
Actually, make that great tune!
I remember Paul from when Scartaglen used to play down by Folgers on 9th St. Nice tune.
Still love this one...
