Wow, I'm loving your ambient stuff especially! This is wonderful! She's walking along the shore at dusk, contemplating if there is anywhere else to go...ever... *goes off in to dream*
What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
Intriguing, love the ascending motif where you play guitar along with the synth bells, very dreamy sequences. I'm not sure I like the breathy hiss that comes and goes in some spots (side-effect of guitar effects, or separate synth?) but the rest of this is great.
neat. Difficult mood change at 1:55 ish... and it's smoothed over really well. Ah, back down at 2:18 . You keep the motion swirly and ambient. the pans on the different instruments keeps the mix fascinating. Keep working on these guys... I love it.
Goodness... very nice bright gitz. Makes me want to pick one up and play along. Such a welcoming tune. Wow... I'm not usually much for single instrument tracks. You've got so much expression in that guitar. Wait a sec... do I hear breaths? I'm sure you wanted that in the mix, right? Neat. The human feel is great!
That's a good pan on the gitz and pads. The bass is perfectly mellowed out, but present. I really like this mix. The drums seem to have just the right touch of reverb. Simple too, not distracting. Hrm. The composition is swell, the subtle key change is good at shifting the mood. You might want to try adding subtle taps and deep, barely audible thumps to the drums. But then, I think you can tell I'm biased there. I love percussion. I enjoyed this blend. Perhaps you'll get a chance to experiment more and throw in several more atmospheres.
Wow... you really laid some layers on the gitz. I enjoy the filter on the bell tone, but the feedback/Q/resonance on the filter is a little strong for my tastes. Still, the color is welcome. The mix is pretty focused... too. You might want to bring out the drums or pads a little more here and there. That's some... DANG... that's great layering tho. You gotta keep that up. Keep studying that, because some of these builds have me going back to school. Very nicely chilled... very well done. Thanks for sharing, friend.
One from a year ago or so. Never was happy with the recording quality, but never got around to re recording it. My attempt at a kind of late 70's Phil Keaggy thing
Something I'm working on. I'm a sucker for 5/4 time these days.
The biggest issue is the vocals which are sort of a placeholder right now until I re-write and re-record them, or maybe even find someone who can actually sing to lay something down!

I don't know if it's tacky to listen to your own stuff but I actually do listen to this one a lot.
I've ben away from most of ya, and I'm sorry for that. Thing's have slowed down, and I can't wait
to hear everyone's new music, to try and be an artist, a full time employee and ect....it can be
awfully frustrating. I can't wait to listen and…
This odd time signature tune was recorded on September 13, 1991, on a 4-track cassette tape. I imported it into Logic Studio, tweaked the effects and adjusted the levels, and here it is. Instrumentation used: an Alesis HR-16 drum machine, bass…
This song is based around a sample that I took of my dish washer. The sample starts out simple enough and then gets more chopped up at the end. The song evolved from there. Also in this song is a new pedal I got that is a photo theremin. You…
Happy Sunday Alonetoner's.
I wrote this song yesterday as I had some recent events to ponder.... I hope you like it. Trying for a bit of a bluesy feel. If you'd like to download it and add some background blues bass or guitar, or harmonies…

Wow, beautiful, intricate piece - caught me off guard.
I listened to a couple pieces and I'll certainly listen again. Nice work, great sound.
love the guitar. very airy.

Very beautiful. I won't insult you with the comparisons to other players. I'll just say that you're up there with them.
you must be my alter-ego (whatever that means)
Nice guitar sound! Fine tune!
Amazingly beautiful playing.
