Acoustic tale recorded Christmas 2010.
I wrote it years ago. Even tried rehearsing it with the band I was in at the time. But I couldn't play it properly. It took several weeks of practicing DADGAD (never really used it in anger before) until…

Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…
One of my favorites of yours, Andy. But then again ... I think I like all of your great songs the same. You have such a terrific voice, and your songwriting is as profound as your lengthy explanations (which I love, btw! :) ).
Keep them coming!

Electric blues. Recorded 2007. I was learning how to use my DAW and trying to figure out how a one-man-band could get to sound like a bunch of old bluesers in a sweaty bar...

Time to get stoned…
Love it. I grew up with "stoned" meaning drunk... Little Ole Winedrinker Me kind of stoned... I sometimes still hear it like that... this was one those occasions... I'd definitely be reaching for the bottles and cocktail shaker in these scenarios!
I kinda like this one. The melody in the hook is kinda fun, and having the guitar play a melody of its own was something fun that I don't do often. The lyrics are stream of conscious garbage, meaning they are probably about the idiot in the…
OK, so after the Lockdown Orchestrations project, I have moved to a new series of pieces I am calling Fusion Soundscapes. What I am trying to do here is paint a picture using some sound effects, and with a mix of orchestral and electric/rock…
Love the first section, and then when the second section cuts the phrase down I'm thinking "but I loved that widdly bit!!" ... but really quickly I'm in the groove and digging it and I've forgotten it until I listen to the track again. I've listened three times now and it has the same effect on me every time. Mighty cool.
Lockdown 2020. This was a suggestion by our friend Paul Matthews (check out his page: https://alonetone.com/IlshamOrchestrate )
Paul performed the piano and programmed the drums, strings and guitar tracks.
Billy picked up the bass for the…
Inspired by Steve Krell who wrote the first verse and chorus. Colleen Dillon wrote the second verse and Greg Connor, the third. Authentic Native American War Cry by Kimmie who has Cherokee heritage.

On the banks of the Ojibwa…
Another tune exhumed from the past... 1984 to be precise. A 15 year-old angst-ridden vocalist wrote some words that went something like "Late at night... the shadows... creep across my wall". Happily, the song is musically much stronger than the…
The thing is though, "Late at night... the shadows... creep across my wall" are really good lyrics! Feel no shame, the angst-ridden 15 year-olds knew what they were doing! lol .... Cool sounds, looking forward to the vocals.
A song from one of our latest sessions
Hans Nooitgedagt Jr - drums
Bingsolex - lead guitar
Erwin B - bass, recording
KC - vocals, guitar, keys & mix

Well I'm down
I am falling to the ground…
Awww yeah... very tasty. Loved the title when I saw the notification - was wondering how you'd treat it... it's just wonderful. Cool song, and the performance/recording is smooth and lively at the same time. Love the groove, and the playing from everyone is perfect - like a coiled spring but with great restraint... YEAH!
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Agree with Bethan great cover
My word, this is fantastic. Wonderful vocal, makes it compulsive listening.
What a performance! Most excellent cover.
ya floored me here, man
I won't repeat what I said at Songcrafters. You know I love this song. And all the others ... :)
Yes this is simply cool/would sound nice live.
One of my favorites of yours, Andy. But then again ... I think I like all of your great songs the same. You have such a terrific voice, and your songwriting is as profound as your lengthy explanations (which I love, btw! :) ). Keep them coming!
Great song-writing - awesome delivery!
Think this melody would translate magically to a music box. Beautiful and bittersweet song. My, your vox are astounding.
You rule
Great song, love the sudden change of tempo in the middle. Really enjoying your voice! Perfect diction!
Nice ballad Andy. Pretty good piano playing if you ask me. Lots more goodies here for me to listen to - and listen I shall, as soon as time permits.
Hi, Andy! I just joined the site. Good to find all your great music here. :) Regards, Steffen

Yep, I like this one too. Gorgeous guitars, cool bvox, and the groove just works on this one.
Yeah! Like it.
Yep, getting into your sounds.
This too. Thank you for creating and posting them.
Moving and thought provoking.
These two, and having them as the soundtrack to reading up about what exaptation is... wow, very thought provoking...
Oh yes, very cool.
Cool and interesting sounds... and once again I learn a new word... Definitely listening to 2 now!

That's really cool, like it.
Nice one. I'm sure I've heard you sing this before? But I can't find it anywhere... Anyways, I'm fairly certain this is a new version - and it's fab
Woo, yeah, nice one. Love the imagery.
Relaxing vibes.
Superb title. Very cool sounds.

Oh wow. Huge and lively acoustic guitar sound. And then this fabulous song on top of it. Love it.
Love it. Looking forward to hearing more of your stuff.
Nice one.
