Two jigs I wrote after returning from Ireland. Sorry for the horrid splice between the two tunes...I'll fix that when I get a chance. Penny whistle, mandolin, acoustic guitar.
This is the first tune for my RPM Challenge.
Recorded: Feb 01, 2009
Details: Epiphone Les Paul (EBEGAD - capo II), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, EBow, Audacity, Sound Forge.

@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....

This my first time…
I'm really glad I discovered your music this morning. It's really my style, just love this track. Have it playing while the coffee is brewing, before sunrise.
Well, song 10 finally. A bit on the heavy side, some odd FX, strange vox, an Ibanez, The ever present harmonica, and some help from Illegal Alien Autopsy.
This was the first song I tracked for RPM. But, since my pen has run out of ink this month…

Well I *had* intended to try doing something different this week.
So technically I succeeded.
It's solo piano again, but I had to teach my left hand how to play this somewhat syncopated bass line, before I could actually compose against it…
This is inspired by Frippitronics. Frippontroncis is I call non-traditional mood music invented by Robert Fripp master guitarist for King Crimson. It involves loops of sustained guitars, in this case using an e-bow. I usually do one of these…
Song #4 for FAWM. More solo piano.
One of the things I struggle with, with all of these pure piano pieces is how much to edit/fix them.
Way way back in the day, I quantized everything precisely and made all of the velocities the same. To…
Another beautiful piece. I think a drummer said it, something like, "I spent 30 years trying to be perfect, and now I'm trying to unlearn it." Or something like that...being human is always better than being "perfect."
To everyone missing.

I found silver in your mouth
on a holiday
found stories in your eyes
beautiful as mould
6000 miles away
I finally recalled
the secrets on your skin
in scars and birthmarks
open wounds
secret stories of…
By no means the first song that popped out. It's just the first one I'm calling done beyond a remix. I think this will wind up leading in to a metal tune and will likely be shorter.
After I read into RPM and understood that anybody could take the challenge, I joined up. I'm starting with a clean slate, so I hope I can finish! This a WIP of the first tune I'm working on. Everything I do will be recorded/produced with the Boss…
I might as well officially say that I’m attempting to go 28 for 28.
Maybe nuts, but I seem to feel the need to prove to myself that I’m the same person who could write a song a day (24 in 24) back in August.
This song has lyrics, but you wouldn…
28 tunes would make a great CD...I hope you can do it. Yeah, I remember the days I wrote so much music I had to use dates and letters for titles...but most of that got recorded, glad you're getting yours down.
Um. If you enjoyed "solo piano 20100201", you'll probably enjoy this similarly titled piece.
Hugs to all my fellow alonetoners who listened/commented on yesterday's track.
I'm looking forward to catching up on all of the great music you…

Love the entire album. What a great sound.
I like this idea. Hypnotic
These lovely guitar soundscapes just keep coming. Great RPM album!
As always, beautiful. You set me free.
@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....
Nice one man- You do something different with the recording this time? Sounds more "present" somehow
This is Great Doug. The album is turning out nicely...Hope you're enjoying the RPM challenge. Keep up the fine work!
I love your work...so relaxing. Need that during RPM...now back to work!
Another nice one Doug. I gotta try something like this myself

Another nice track! Doug...are you in for RPM?
Yeah, that bum note was buggin me too.. ; -)
This has such a festive sound. A real warming space in my heart. Thanks!
This is perhaps my favorite. A sense of urgency to it. Again, thanks for the great songs. I'm going to put these on regular rotation!

i meant to say, nice track...no, great track!
nice trace...love the guitars, and that harmonica.
Another nice piano tune. I'm really enjoying your "album."
Man, I can't believe I've not heard your playing before. Love the Ebow (I use it all the time). Nice, nice...

Nice...very inspiring.
Sublime...
Nice, great combination of sounds and instruments. Nice mood...
Man, that's a nice tune, and your recordings always sound great.
Beautiful and ethereal...seems like it develops nicely.,.I wouldn't shorten it (but then, I'm the king of short tunes).
Dude, that should so make it!
All Synth, all Awesome!
I love the sound of this one...
28 tunes would make a great CD...I hope you can do it. Yeah, I remember the days I wrote so much music I had to use dates and letters for titles...but most of that got recorded, glad you're getting yours down.
Nice one...wish I could sit down and just let the music come out like that...
More, more, please, more!!!
Commented to early - love that organ thing in the middle of the tune.
Great as always! Nice mood and love the horns, love them, love them.
Awesome...nothing like jamming.
Nice...
