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.
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.

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.
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.
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!

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...
That's awesomely cool!
Here's one I missed...this is a really, really nice loop. Nice Ebow playing...sweet.
It sounds authentic. Lovely.
Nice - I love this tune...
Packed with emotion, powerful...beautiful. Oh, the strings, nice, nice, nice.
Wow!
I hadn't heard this one before either. This is a gorgeous piece. Wonderful to listen to and beautiful melody.
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.
