Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…

Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…

This is one of those tracks that if you drift off to sleep while listening to it, you're almost guaranteed to have pleasant dreams. The fidelity of the recording is fantastic.
An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…

One of my "Celtic" tracks - "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day" is an old English carol and I think the melody is beautiful in its elegance and simplicity. I recorded this in the basement in 2005 or 2006. Penny whistle, bells, guitars and strings…
From 2005 - Another one of my early pieces written on Fruity Loops, I believe written along side Morning at the Quay. As much as I detest re-recording things, I could probably do it justice now (for what it is, but I cringe at the step programming…
I spent the day skrewing around with this Roumanian Minor scale again. I am really testing layered drums on this one, Toms mostly.
There's a lot happening. Acoustic, Strat, Bass, 4 Juno tracks, and all kinds of percussion.
Only a two chord change…
From the 24 hour album. Began this one 47 minutes into the 24hr session. Listen to the full work here: http://alonetone.com/glu/tracks/glus-24
I haven't touched this track in over two months. What does it need?
Instrumentation: Bamboo flute…
story: wings of chaos, wings of beauty. h.g. wells awakens from cyber-sleep in the "Chrysalis". the steam-driven moth-ship is now traveling slowly across an immense nebula. the engine's motoric rhythm generates the soundtrack to the view from…
Very rough sketch of something I am working on, with my even sketchier vocals. All about how we seem to be intent on using up everything this planet has to offer. Any ideas or comments please
Narrative: A lonely scientist was stationed to Tundzha Glacier in Antarctica to study fissures.
Instrumentation: I stretched, repitched, and looped two sections…
A long meditation/wank.
This weeks guitar lesson we started looking at melodic minor modes. I went home and started practicing scales. Wasn't long before I got stuck on Dorian flat 2. So I fired up the looper and recorded a session.
Funny…
Poured myself a small cup of acoustic guitar, half finger picking, half ebow. Nothing fancy, nothing magical, nothing fantastical, just something to relax through.
Otherwise known as the 'opus'. This song was my life for a good year. Left forgotten in the dusty hills of Santa Fe. This is pretty much the A section :)
Well now, this is actually a very old track, made back in March '09 and not that long after I started learning piano.
I was learning a very simple 12-bar blues piece and getting bored with the piano sound I started messing about with the Logic…
A skipping CD of children's music, an old accordion with sticky keys, some subterranean drums and synth bass, a departing train. Hoping to achieve some kind of glitchy transcendence through the broken fragments.

this song made me pick up my guitar . thanks for inspiring.
This is sooooooo good. Quick thanks to Kavin for bringing my attention back to this Kirk Lynch masterpiece.
This is very cool. I forgot I had listened to this. There's this warm familiarity. Your Palette is very broad.
Agree - it's a score tune - and not just spaghetti westerns (whatever the heck that is). Luv the backwards delay.
cool! I enjoyed this live performance very much.
Every time I hear that guitar first come in, it's so sweet. Kudos, friend.
I have no idea how this is done,its great
The panning on this song sent a chill down my spine - nice work here!

Lovely! Don't think I've heard that tune before
HAHA! Let me guess- it's channel 69!!
Super playing- enjoyed it!
Wow- that's something different for you! Rock on Richard!
Nice one man! Never heard this one of yours
Love the percussion, and one of the juno tracks sounds like accordion- great. Faved by another of the Moveable Yonder shirt club!!
Glad to see you uploading the individual tracks from the 24- cool!
Inspires me to pick up the whistle again. Great!
Missed this one(easy to do with your catalog) Lovely track!
Such Beauty! Wonderful
What a wonderful trip- thank you!
Nice one! I too can hear strings on it just to fill it out a bit, or maybe even just double the guitar part.
Wow- all the little parts in the background are great. Nice textures!
Great stuff man! Your clean guitar sounds are just crystalline!
Wonderful! Love the ebow on the acoustic
Right up my alley- love it!
Beautiful!
Blues like I've never heard it! Really cool!
Interesting track- really creative!
Very pretty melody!
