There was a time, when I stood in one place, and time, space, and place... stretched in all directions, and could be walked, or traveled. Returning to here I found, getting on with it, was completely different. After enlightenment, there is the…

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
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…
Kirk, I got lost in my kitchen, making a cup of tea when I heard this. Came to, slow dance moving across the floor, singing lyrics pulled right out of nowhere. I hope to have the time to dance to it more

Words and Music by Tharek Mokbul ( OsCKilO )
My heart will miss a beat
Each time
I see your pain
I know this is the end
But I
Will fight this tide
The battle is complete
Both sides
Have won this time
I will remember you
So proud…
I am honored to be able to put words to the music of Skidoo and to say the mood he created with his music triggered something important to me.
One of my favorites tracks from Skidoo is "An elephant of truth". The first version of this song…
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
hey thanks for the comments, dave. I'm listening to you thinkin' I'm hearing The Band reincarnate. Nice you got the "lo-fi" majesty to follow the call. Recorded it live, with a four track tape deck, never played it again, it was a jam. Still haven't figured out how it all goes.
One of my favorite songs of all time and one of my favorite voices.
Thanks M.T.

Some days I’m fine
Yeah some days I feel sublime
All the time
But then there’s days
I wanna crawl out of my skin
And leave it in

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…
Beautiful, Kavin. I ;ove the way things meld here. Leads the mind off and away. And yes, I guess that would be voices from Dreamtime. Although I did mix cultures (Australian/ Native American). But that would be me all over!
We all live on one planet, and on this planet we ARE the indigenous peoples. The rest is just intellectual self petting if you know what I mean. When I'm feeling frustrated with the human race, I return to the roots. I read once in a novel on…
Thanks all, for the comments. You would be amused at the "instruments" I used for this. In keeping with the theme I mentioned, though not intentional. didgeridoo, I wanted the sound, went out back grabbed a piece of ABS (Black Plastic Pipe) made the didge, (saw some made that way a didgeridoo festival), needed that strange raspy creature sound, took a piece of PVC pipe (same one I used for the Guiro on Mid Summers Night) and used a rounded stick to rub it, getting the raspy sorta heatbug effect. Found art? No, yes, found music!
A song written for a great girl who'll be getting married next year...
"You'll always be this young if love comes first
And you stay filled with life."
I love it when someone writes about the real in life. This is it. The kind of song that carries through life's changes. Music and the voice married perfectly.
We call this Beat-box ghosts (the prog-fu mix). A fun collab between Osckilo and myself. Osckilo had this song he did called Ghosts, all done beat-box. I had to ask him what beat-box meant, I had no idea. I took his original track (just his…
Just a few seconds into this song, and it comes alive with a subtle intensity. Emotions captured, and released, beautifully, some controled passion here. very cool
Comments on iconoclast's stuff
I like it.
I can dig it! Killer tune.
Touches of Bowie here - very cool! Welcome to Alonetone.
Very chill, very nice. I like it.
Killer vox, and the B3(?) sound is dynamite! Cool tune!
This has a very mellowing effect. I dig it.

mmmmmmmmm..... such a mood. I'm never gonna get anything done today.
Kirk, I love how you go about your own way, exploring your own musicality. I envy you your ability to play!

Beautiful bit of work.
Like this, has a Pink Floyd vibe..... and that can't be bad, now, can it?
Sweet, sweet, singin' guitar... play it for all of us.... so satisfying to listen to

Be nice to have this at our saturday night jam. Feels good to listen to, move to.
great treatment of a nice, tender song.
Sweet tune. Love the harmonies.

Oh ho! Lyrics speak it... music... speaks it. We are bright spirits in a Ghost Town. Don't let them drink your spirit dry.
This is nice dave. Little bit of Robby robertson here. But of course it's all you. Songs from the earth. Gift to us all.
Hey Smooth! Thanks for the comments! I like the groove this lays down. You should give your vocals a little boost - they're worth it!
hey even KNOWING who e.e. Cummings is, is a great start! Like the way, beat, rythmn guits, work with the melody
This song wastes no time in getting to it. no frills, just says it, every little touch.
Just a few seconds into this song, and it comes alive with a subtle intensity. Emotions captured, and released, beautifully, some controled passion here. very cool
Creative. You make melodies.... they sing your heart. keep it up! I intend to listen more.
