Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace.
We lost him just over a year ago.
Among many other unexpected, Christ-like kindnesses, he realized at one point…
This is great. It's like it can't decide if it's Jazz or 20th century classical. Reminds me a bit of the first Mahavishnu record without the frantic aspect. That's it- I'm swiping some chord voicings from you for new inspiration
Written, recorded, and mixed in 24 hours. August 01-02, 2009, from 6am to 6am.

NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great!
The first version.

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.
...nice energy here, man. I like the freshness I pick up in much of what you are writing/performing.
Thanks for your interest/comments. Maybe we can colab. on something some time soon.
Peace- kss
New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…
Rough and Slow acoustic version of the more poppy [lifeline glu and sudara collaboration](http://alonetone.com/doublemeanings/tracks/lifeline).
If you like 4 minutes of the same 3 chords, you'll LOVE this song.
Now that I have two microphones…
wrote this song while i was all alone in the middle of a nameless creek in the amazon jungle - beautiful spot!
This is from 2006 - the only song in this album that is more recent. Here I tried to use bossa chords and a modified bossa beat to…
Just one of those passing moods. Just finished today - august 2 2009. I resisted the temptation to try to develop it any further and just let it be what it is

Comments on K. SCOT SPARKS 79+intercessions's stuff
I vote for a longer version of this. Love the horns and the percussion bits underneath.!
I enjoyed that mate nice horns
Again, love the horns! This piece was short, but good!

Nicely done mate like it.
Very cool!
Beautiful melody man!
Yeah I like, dig it very nice
captivating. Real nice recording K. Some interesting FX too!
wow, really like this tune! lovely vox and melody
One after the other, outstanding...
Hauntingly beautiful!
a force to be reckoned with
Transported me somewhere infinitely cooler than my immediate surroundings, and in to the body of someone horribly classier than me.
I think Miles would have liked this one! Great track! And great songs all together!
Exciting Track!
apocalyptic- love it!
