my rpm #5,, it will eventually become a part om my themed cd "the dark doll house" a somewhat sad place where memories of childhoods past echo through empty rooms,, the two other pieces thus far in this theme are the 3 mov of my piano sonata…
I saw "the Watchmen"....got me thinking.
are we truly immortal?
will we live through the material passing
or have we died oh so close to the light
not from this earth
not bound by its laws
A slave of no one

This song is something special to me. I think it was special to John too. It hurts to miss people who are gone from your life, but I think it's worse to forget them.
Felt the need to go back to something more sound driven.
I've been learning a lot of new Jazz chords and wondered what they might sound like as pads. I ended up creating a device chain in Ableton Live featuring Alchemy, Omnisphere, and Absynth…
very nice sound space,, the sounds do pan well through my speakers (just got a new set, and this sounds really cool),, i am always impressed by the range for music/sound/feelings found on alonetone,, from my old piano plunking to your spatial symphony,, through the great guitar and vocals,, so much here to enjoy,, anyhow well played
from the album "the Hardest Blow" featuring vocals and slide guitar from Gregg Todt
My father says, it’s not enough
This mortal strife, gets too rough
And sinners dance, upon your grave

I am leaving this week for a while but couldnt resist adding as the third collaborator on this excellent track by Keith Landry and Osckilo before I go.
Added some bass,ambient stings, and of course sleigh bell
Hope you guys like it.
See you…

This is probably the last of this stuff from the archives that I'll upload. Rescued from a cassette tape of a live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen. These tunes are popular down in the Southwest of Ireland. Michael(Fiddle) and…

When love is no longer enough....
Stay Awake
I hear every little sound,
Every breath, hearts beating,
They're breathing....
See the passion in her heart,
A witness of her fire,
Desire....

This piece uses multiple tunings simultaneously and is the inaugural…
very nice you three,,, an interesting journey on this late, last day of July evening,, well played,, the synth trumpet takes on a life of its own an almost other worldly feeling at times..........
Everyone has a first time....
This is an "out-take" from the You EP. Written in 2000 it was not finished as far as it is until 2005. Being lazy I just adapted the original rough take I made so I would not forget the song.
There are a few electric…
This is a chord progression I found when waiting for Debbie to come home.

Any collaboration would be welcome.
