A cowrite with Michelle
We’ve all done things we’re not proud of
Broken promises and painful regrets
We’ve all said things that would have been better left unsaid
When you’ve gone as far as you can go
There’s no more to see no more…
I’m a long way from home
Open road in front of me
What’s lost when you think you feel free
Feels like something missing
I left it with you
Must be a piece of me
I don’t know what is about this town
It’s dragging me down dragging me down…
Hey, I really like this. The slide work is great. Q: do you find the resonator to be substantially louder compared to a regular acoustic ? Just wondering, as I busk and was thinking I might try and find one at some point (if I ever have enough money). I gotta check out more of your stuff :-)

my rpm #5,, it will eventually become a part om my themed cd "the dark doll house" a somewhat sad place where memories of childhoods past echo through empty rooms,, the two other pieces thus far in this theme are the 3 mov of my piano sonata…
One more instrumental before I move on to the vocals...
I came up with this riff one hazy night when I was 19. I'm in my 30s now, and rather more sober, but I still like playing this. It felt good to finally flesh it out.
“While I Wait”: (Richard Hardrick)
I hear my steps from echoes
down in the street of time
van años en lo incierto
outside the shadow line
Silence in an empty sky
while I wait
God has not revealed yet
the truth of signs outside…
#4 for the RPM Challenge.
Have you heard this melody before? This is one of those where I wonder if I've unconsciously "borrowed" something from someone. Translation: the Fly Boat, like the tourist boats that ply the river Seine and their bright…
1pm on Sunday. I'm not back in work until Tuesday. We've just had a delicious roast dinner that I cooked, and the glass of wine we had with it is helping it go down. As a crisp February sun twinkles through the window I realise that for the first…
I was asked to come up with some gritty microtonal guitar. This is an out-take from that session.
17 Indulgences is a solo guitar piece in 17 edo featuring acoustic feedback, echo and a bluesy sort of point of view but does wander here and…
Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.
Kirk Lynch- Uilleann pipes and whistle. Becky Pringle- Fiddle. Mike Dugger- Fiddle and guitar…
Sometimes society gets wrapped up in their own routine, failing to notice the sheer beauty that surrounds them on a daily basis, until a moment of chance changes everything.
Some reflections after recording this song:
1. Mic positioning for a live take can drive you crazy
2. The lowest note I can comfortably sing is an A
3. A tortured soul can somehow write an amazing love song
4. I still have much to learn

Depeche Mode lite
I was going to hire Meatloaf for the ending but it turns out he will NOT work for pancakes... which is what I had heard.
This is one of the prime examples of (early on) being WAY more ambitious than what my ability…
You're right it is really good. That drum track is a little overwhelming in the mix at first tho. I like the guitars, stream of conciousness lyrics, Lennon-like vocal and the Miles Davis title check.
OCCUPY 0112
It's a highland I call my land
It's an island in the sun
No matter how you measure it
It's always number one
If I had a house to occupy
I'd occupy my wish
But to have a house to occupy
I must defy the rich
We buy the…

Good tune. BW
WOW! I really like the Vortices. They really blend beautifully. Just close your eyes, sit back and space out. Nice work!
I love it! It’s spatial
Another thumbs up tune with sincere lyrics. :)
Definetly different, in a good way. Would be nice in a soundtrack. Fun listen :-)
Cool, has that live 'on the street' vibe to it. Boogie on !

Nice mood piece here, good.
Are you really who you think you are? What is "reality"? Love me some PDK, and this is a great soundtrack.
Wistful. Plaintive. Looking through my own empty rooms.
Played like a real Texas guitar slinger!
Thanks for the comments C, and welcome to the club! Keep on with the great songs!
Nice proggy/metal vibe going on here Rick.
Thanks MTC! I'm relieved!
Welcome to Alonetone Daniel! Pick on!
Wonderful! Glad you are back!
Sweet acoustic tone!
Yesh! Definitely a candidate for the IF RPM mash album.
Liking the drone and general guitar mayhem.
Supergreat. That's one tight band.
This makes me feel sad. That's a good thing.
Nice ambient and great album. I came to IA through his novels, not so much his short stories. One of the SF masters indeed!
You're on a roll with these JT covers. Wond'ring Aloud next maybe?
Great versh. I'd like more details on the mic placement. Are you just using one mic? More is better when recording acoustic.
You're right it is really good. That drum track is a little overwhelming in the mix at first tho. I like the guitars, stream of conciousness lyrics, Lennon-like vocal and the Miles Davis title check.
Picturing JMT in a kilt.
Very nice indeed!
