The program on In The Corner of the Eye contains ten pristinely recorded tracks of solo excursions and duets with distinguished progressive jazz and improvisational artists. It's a whirlwind ride, launched by Doran's frantic and sometime maddening acoustic guitar exposition "Solomutation," textured with delay devices via the momentum of a soaring spacecraft, and often sweetened with a few melodic intervals. But a change of seasons prevails on a per-track basis. For example, on "The Warm Up" he delves into a spunky free-bop exposition with trombonist Ray Anderson. Otherwise, the guitarist spins the Irish traditional piece "She Moved Through the Fair," into a Hendrix-like epic, complete with crunching distortion techniques and gut-wrenching single note leads.
