Phonus Interuptus (Open Mic Blues)
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence…IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers, which I made into a song. Thanks to Black Tiger who did the original drum track first, my bulldog Daisy, guitars and vox interuptions at my house..
You know I feel your pain, brother! [Wrong Number](http://alonetone.com/cavestreet/tracks/wrong-number)
I still vote this for best home studio musician track of the decade. If you can't relate...buy a microphone. I was trying to record vocals the the collab with Epimeison yesterday and right in the middle of take 2, what decides to appear...an ice cream truck. REALLY?? You have a whole freakin park across wash and you choose my street with all of 3 kids to sell to!?! The economy must have really taken it's toll on the mobile frozen milk delivery service. WTF?!? Love it, fav it again if I could.
Oh man! I hear ya bro! The reason I do a lot of one track stuff is because all I get is 3 mins sometimes... In the dead of night! So I have to sing low... If my son see's me with a guitar, he wants to play it... And daddy aint allowed! Open mic is the best bro (For the modern day songwriter.. Lol) And this is a perfect tribute to the concept! Your voice is awesome in this by the way! Love the carefully placed F*cks! Awesome slice of life you got hear! Awesome!
Still love this.
I only had one song at open mic where you could have heard a pin drop, the rest of the time, they usually talk through it. It's all in the studio now when the little ladies are in bed. Ah bliss!
man, great touches. & thanks for the compliments on 'folly'...cool that you listened all the way through & 'got it'
LOL. I can relate. Since I can't actually play any of the instruments I use in my songs, sometimes I'm best off using a take with some horns or meows or jingling in the background. I often unplug my phone... and then forget to plug it back in when I'm done.
phone ringing, dog barking (or drinking water) ac comin' on, kids outside screaming, someone comin' home and opening (or slamming close) the front door, dryer buzzer goin' off, fridge condenser fan comin' on....;>)
Oh my gosh you are making me laugh! If I had your number, I'd totally call you and tell you that in person! Directory assistance isn't coming up with a "reefwalker", though ... I'll keep trying. All the best in the meantime!
I'll take your word for it that this wasn't conveniently edited... but even if it had been... that's some funny sh!t right there. Bravo, sir! I don't record much with an open mic myself... but I do have four feline furbags that insist on 'keeping me company' whilst I record. :-)
Hi, The Suicide is programmed actually and uses Kontakt sounds. I have a large number of manuscripts which I created in college and shortly after (before 90's no computer program I had could let me score reasonably). In this case, The Suicide, was scored at an upright piano and I could play it at the time. Its really easy to play.
ooops, I mean cool title.
Great tune! cool tittie!
HAha Awesome

Ha, love it! I can't escape the crickets and frogs right now. A novel sound effect at first, but... And, I'm surprised you haven't smashed your phone yet!
