Thanks for the kind comments everyone, it's given me inspiration to actually sit down and do something again...yeah, I do have a penchant for short tracks, something I've never seem to overcome. (I'm lucky to ever have any time to record, and usually when I do I've only got hour or so from plugging in to final "mix.") However, in this case I accidentally erased my backing track before I barely got started, so I just went with what I had...in this case it actually probably would have been much longer. Going back and doing it over later wasn't an option, I always go with the flow, never work with anything pre-prepared.

Yeah, I knew you'd catch that one. I'm thinking about taking trad tune titles and writing my own music to them...I may go sans looper for the rest though.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment...I'm so over due on another recording. Glad you commented it, at least it got me back to alonetone for some listening.

This is my 12 hour song (written, recorded, mixed, mastered) ... I pined away all day at it while a storm kept me company.
instrumentation:
a man lost his house and sold me his fretless bass for next to nothing. a family friend gave me…
close your eyes and imagine a glu concert-- what does it look like? describe this fake show to me... what would you want to see?
Oh, almost forgot. Many sounds, like these pretty cellos were found on freesound. I did manipulate the pitch on…
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
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
@Kirk - Yeah, some little things - my setup is cheap and low tech, but I played with some levels.
@VIVIAN CIRCLE - Thanks for the kind words. I'm enjoying the challenge, but wish I had more time to record and to listen to alonetoners....

@another cultural landslide - yeah, I'm in for RPM, though I've only posted here so far. My RPM page: http://www.rpmchallenge.com/component/option,com_comprofiler/task,userProfile/user,5357/Itemid,296/
Turquoise is for memory to you about me.
Turquoise is as my eyes,
you will see heaven in them,
you will sink in them for ever...
This song is about love, about leaving.

Comments on dougsparling's stuff
Guitar wonderment. Proof positive one doesn't have to be fast or flashy to be a guitar wizard. Like the extended length also.
Another special something from Doug Sparling...just utterly gorgeous!
A beautifully played and melodic, dreamy piece.
(I'm still raving about this. It's just perfect.)
Still like this old track of yours man!

Great great great. But as always too short.
This is a BEAUTY! w;-)
Nice one man!
Oh I love how this just dances along!
Inspiring. I can't wait for my guitar lessons to resume!
This is beauty. Glad to see you back in action, Doug. Can't wait to hear the rest of your 24 when it's done.
Yeah, I knew you'd catch that one. I'm thinking about taking trad tune titles and writing my own music to them...I may go sans looper for the rest though.
Nice one man, but no fair stealing titles from trad tunes!!
I like that noise you're making...
Very cool! I really like the Ebow too.

Holy crap! How did I miss this before? C'est formidable!
Was just going to comment that this is wonderful, but apparently I already have! I am consistent, and this is STILL wonderful.
digging the library! nice cross cut of styles!

wow, that's cool...great instrumentation, very enjoyable to get lost in pure listening.
Nice...I've been away from alonetone wa too long.
Sweet, sweet track...
another beauty, Kirk!
Nice one Kirk...I'd like to hear that on the 12-string.
Nice....love the slide.

Lovely tune - BTW, my entire rpm challenge ("Nothing Will Break Our Will To Be Free") is a memorial/dedication to Gaza.
Nice sounds - I need one of those things...
Yeah!
Beautiful...
This is gorgeous - sorry I haven't had time to listen to your stuff earlier...
Some really cool sounds...very intriguing.
I love this stuff...you make me wanna play some guitar, man!
oh, yeah, that's cool...love when the picking kicks in.
Damn....that's the sh*t! Wanna collaborate for RPM Challenge?
Forgot to login again...last comment was from me.
Wow, this sent shivers up my spine...stunningly haunting and beautiful. Wow, wow, wow!
