A not very cheerful Christmas song I wrote for the RPM Holiday Challenge. Based on the classic Arthur C. Clarke science fiction story "The Star". http://faculty.winthrop.edu/kosterj/engl510/star.htm
Light years out and an eternity back to…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
This track is the result of putting Kavin's excellent track [Propitiation](http://alonetone.com/kavin/tracks/propitiation) through my Steve Reich style phased looper.
It's a beautiful piece but also quite a sparse sound which lead me to think…
Great Texas Blues song.I like the fact that a classic blues tune like this was written right here in East Texas.These songs are truly part of the history of this area, trains still run the tracks, but not nearly as important nowadays to the people…
A remix. I originally mixed this using laptop speakers because I was away from home. Took the drums down and brought the ipod sounds up. Thinking of doing an album of this stuff for RPM. Thanks for yer comments!
This is a rough mix of a song I have been working on. It needs the vocal re doing when I get rid of my cold and there is still a verse or two to write. the final mix is now up on site. called REPO MAN (final mix) check it out
Repo man knocking…
Another loop - not recorded that well and don't have the time to do much with it, but here it is none the less. The title more or less is a reflection on my life at the moment. Using the same junk I always do...
All guitars by my good friend Chris Mitchell. I had a chance to record this while I was in Dallas this past Summer. This is a companion piece to my song Secrets from the "Of Sound Mind" album, my RPM 2009 entry.
This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…
"santa" and her elves used to live across the street, thankfully gone now, they must have moved to Fla! I would like some zztop tapes for Christmas....

This track is off of the third CD. This is an improv recorded one afternoon in my basement recording studio. Recorded with my Huss and Dalton MJC in standard tuning.
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
awesome ashcan guitar. Try a set of GHS super thin strings for it, they cheap but good.
:( Can't get this to play for me. Ah, no, ignore that...it just began after a sticky start. Lovely intricate piece - so many melodic strands!
Hahahaha!
:)
12 string heaven!
I enjoyed this performance and compositional idea a lot - nice one!
HAHA! I needed a good laugh this morning and that was sure it!
Wonderful! Almost sounds like 2 guitars in places
Ha ha ha!! Great fun!
Wow, what a sound. No idea whatever the "About" means, but sounds great to me.
very nice, there's a lot going on here,, takes really listening to not just hearing, and yes i agree it rings out well....
Top sound Kavin very cool mate. Dig the way a 12 string rings out. This is really good guitar playing mate. Excellent.
thanks,,yesss it is pretty funny,, almost fell off my chair,,thanks for sharing
Great slide! Great tune, well done!
Wonderful journey! And I love the reversed part - lends such a great touch.

Like this one alot, but ended abruptly?
This is very cool.
Lovely. Great start for the new year.
@ dougsparling, apps used: Tongue Drum, Ellatron lite (mellatron), Bebot (theremin sound). I think all were free except bebot.
Nice to see your return to this form, Doug. Love it.
Merry Christmas to Sudara and all my friends here at alonetone. Peace be unto you and all your loved ones.
Very nice. Makes me wanna get my @ss in gear and get serious about writing lyrics again.
I'm always a sucker for pretty intertwining guitar lines!
"santa" and her elves used to live across the street, thankfully gone now, they must have moved to Fla! I would like some zztop tapes for Christmas....
"grinch's up a face"...love it!
Great tunes!
At first I thought "are you kidding?" then there was the suspense of waiting for something else to happen...
Great performance and sound.
Yeah! This sounds like it could have been on Clapton's first solo album.
Nice playing. Inspiring!
