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
Kirk, my name is Don Powers, I live in weston, on 5th st. Long time ago I stopped out side your house because I saw you playing through you window. We talked for a while then one other day you let me come in and I was going to try to jam with you , a mistake as I am no where near the musician you are. I just stumbled on to your web site. Glad I did. enjoyed listening. Maybe someday before I croke I will improve enough on one of the instruments I try to play, to get another chance to jam with you. Nice site.

This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
so this one is in Portuguese. sorry for all u English speakers. but i hope u go ahead and listen to it anyway. i like it a little faster than this version. this is from a couple years ago.
A happy song about being left by your no-good spouse. There's a word for the attitude in this song but I can't think of it right now ...
this is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
Created back in 1999 with the help of alonetoner K.Scot. I had translated the english lyrics into portuguese - then just decided to record both languages at the same time.
I wrote this song after my brother passed away a couple years ago. His girlfriend of 4 years asked me to write the music to a poem she wrote. This is what it turned out to be.
Lyrics by Annie Buller.
This is part of a new body of work, centered more on guitar than synth, yet treating the guitar as I do the synth. This is still a work in progress, and I am open to input.
This is definitely an ambient piece, treating sound as a sculpture more…
Part of my song a week project.

It was later "upgraded" to include a spoken vocal and sound effects. Stay tuned for "wake me up" which is that version of the song.
I'm better at using my pots and pans for music than for food, so I post this tune in hunger. 3 pots, 1 pan, and a tabla.
"i'm just a gangsta in the jungle" recorded in the amazon. It's actually a part of a monologue that I will likely never post…
An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…
I wrote the music to this song while playing around on the piano, thought it sounded nice. But for a long time i left it like that cus I couldn't think of how to develop it.
Then one day i was playing it, and i stopped and saw my dad's old guitar…
I wrote this with two of my friends Diego (aka Mr. Napkinhead on alonetone) and Annie. an ode to pasta since my family is all about pasta. we had fun with the lyrics. wrote it in about 15 minutes, recorded it in an hour, and sang it that night…
If Berlioz would've heard this piece.. he probably would have said that it was too vulgar (lol) too much percussion... but oh well I got very excited when I made this one... the tempos are not very well because its very hard!!!

Such a sweet groove, and all those tasty licks everywhere... Wow!
Kooh....this is sweet..nice textures over that riff...nice modal soloing.
Great playing and mixing.

Nice, clean and funky.
Nice combo. Those Ov 12's seem to be making a resurgence. I almost bought one a few months ago but the owner and I couldn't agree on a price.
Dang.
