This here be last years Pirate Day Song and a little darker as befits it's murky past.

Traditional Irish - Arranged by Doug Sparling Based on a recording by Na Casaidigh. Played late at night, as a lullaby of sorts. Now go to sleep, little child... Guitar players - check out my GuitarNoise.com lesson for this tune: http://www…

My Pirate song. Sounds more like a polka band, but what the hell. I had fun doing it. a song for Gumbo. we sailed the angry seas til we found a neutral port we rowed the ship to shore to go and find a fancy whore down at the Buccaneer inn…

An experiment in simplicity. Back to the basics. It's the only counter to stagnation. Don't over think! This was pieced together quickly while in front of the microphone. Revisiting the editing/mastering process was fun. Used: Martin…

Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime

Another "jazzy" little number from the basement archives. Someone call the smooth jazz police before I ever do this again...

For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume. recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009. I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound. Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem. Because that makes much…

Our dear friend Lynda is in hospice; we wanted to do a song for her - for all she has done for us. This is that song. k & w

Recorded August 28, 2009 Details: Martin D1 (DADFGC - capo II), Shure SM57, Audacity, Sound Forge. After digging this tune up really I really wanted to try it again on acoustic (which I don't play much). This is a second take recorded in…

This song was made by two different piano samples (both from Sudara): 1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico. 2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…

my entry into the 2008 Sidedown Christmas challenge. I tried the original Mel Torme chords and version and it just didn't fit for me, so i came up with my own chords and arrangement. this was done around the same time as g=gone so it's a…

An 8-bit groove recorded from the NESynth iPhone application and a little love from GarageBand and the Mac text-to-speech tools. Here are the lyrics: Thought over capacity I cannot achieve Maximum velocity Digital heart racing Multiplexing Enumerating…

The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically. The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…

Episode One: Sandbags allowed me to use his mad rhythms- see here for an explanation: http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/my-name-is-harry-palmer Sudara lent me some samples of him playing chords from his new autoharp, an ebow against piano…

Rough version

This is just an untitled electronic/dance/house thing I started a couple weeks ago and a little stuck on what to do next with it. Any ideas? Also uploaded to Kompoz.com to see if there's anyone out there that would like to add to it.

I love good news.

A song about how I don't follow, or care about, fashion or trends.

OK it's the morning after the party at the China Quay, and our hero is waking up. What has happened? Influenced by about 6 different doowop tunes (great for hangovers!)

Recorded by Ger in our manky cellar at the end of May 2005

Wrote this little piece from 7/14/09 to 7/15/09. A lot more metal than I'm used to playing. Played on my broken-neck Epiphone semi-hollow.

Can a vampire be suicidal?

A quick transitional piece - sort of a hybrid of ambient drone and louder rock.

Op. 15 Book II Exodus

So, I start playing my Guild acoustic. However, the strings were new and had gone all slackish, meaning down a few tones. I liked what it sounded like and took them all off. I then restrung the gtr with super heavy guage acoustic strings. I then…

Here is another quick glimpse at ideas from my huge "Fractal Serenity" music video project, still in progress. This particular music-video is a "character study" of one of the strange plants that grows in this dream... the "Glass Orchid…

pagan rock

Started as an "Off the cuff" song that only changed a little from the original.

My first new song on Alonetone in over a year! A short, simple surf tune, nothing more.
