I can't hide the fact that I've listened to Pierre Bensusan. Or that I've longed to return to Paris.

I excel at disappearing for long stretches, eh?
I think with this I'm officially committing to doing FAWM.
And R.I.P. my songwriting drought. August 27th, 2009 - February 1st, 2010.
If that's what it takes to come up with some this nice, then I guess a few long stretches are ok, eh? Man, Nice...I love solo piano and this one's just lovely.
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
You call that noodling around? That's some mighty fine noodling, Mr. Lynch...and yeah, DADGAD never gets old, though I still have a love for EBEGAD too.

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.
Man, that's cool. Curious what apps you're using? I've been buying a bunch of music apps for my iPhone but I never seem to get around to using them. I was gonna try and do a "CDs" worth of iPhone app music at some point.
So one too many coffee's and I have insomnia, I decided to mess about with my prototype sequencer Rytme and one of the Logic piano presets (Piano Motion).
I came up with this piece (in the key of A Major) which is rather repetitive (a quality…
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…
Sweet - glad to see you digging things up from the archives. I seem to remember you had that duo...unless it was pre-1990 or whenever it was we first met.
Experimenting with my piano/keyboard skillz and a first attempt at record clapping. Needs a good go over with some quality drums and some better arranging. Everything sounds very "synthy" on account of I don't have any quality VSTi at the moment.
This is one of my first ambient tracks, and it's been made up largely of sounds I've captured on a handheld recorder over the last five or so years.
Dark, and more than a little creepy.
This is maybe the first track written entirely by This Caustic Autumn as a group effort. I'd been to see Sigur Ros play at Massey Hall in Toronto the night before we wrote this, so that's where the idea for the bowed Les Paul came from. Other…
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…
Comments on dougsparling's stuff
lovely!
Wow! Nice playing man. Love this one
What a stunner! Just lovely!
Beautifully done, Doug.
Oh, can I come too? Beautifully played.
amazing guitar sounds....
Smooooooth guitar sounds. I'm favoring this one. Maybe it's those duncans. Makes me want to sing up toward the skies.
I wish you and Kirk lived right next door.
Kirk Lynch does indeed humble us all. But you're also not giving yourself enough credit. :)
short but beautiful!
BEAUTIFUL! Heart felt for all lost... w;-)
Beautiful.
That's just beautiful man. Tugs at the heartstrings
Kavin - I'm going to be recording acoustic only for a while. As soon as I get another one done I'll add a new playlist.
Love hearing the two versions back to back, but I favor the acoustic side I think.
OOoooh- Doug this is just gorgeous. you gotta do more acoustic stuff man!
Beautiful. And since you mention it, I don't think that there's anything wrong with the recording.
Lush...and gorgeous. gentle and swift.. wonderful work here doug.
I felt this beautiful track down to my very soul... w;-)
Beautiful one Doug!

Nice start for RPM - great tune, Kavin. Instrumental guitar album, fancy that!
Ah, just what I needed, a little inspiration. You're amazing Mr. Lynch.

Nice one man, stunning...
Love this one, man. Note to self, improve my recording technique so that sound at least half this good...
Great sounds...
Catching up on my alonetone listening. Gorgeous track, the right amount of everything.

enjoyable listening...very well done.
excellent...man, I love this.

great experiment.
wow, great track. Like the arrangement and the playing in fantastic.
That's a whole lot of awesomeness...
Stunning...wow, love this one.
Just discovered this through Kavin's list...wow, this is a great track. ACL had it right - sublime.
Beautiful piece of music, that...
I missed this one...love the guitars. Nice, nice, nice.
Nice one man. I always loved this tune...and I was probably there at the concert.
