I just heard the Ramen #3 version of this and it totally blew me away!
Furthermore, I sickenly realized that I have posted a piece by the same name, a long time after you posted this one. I apologize for this and have changed the name of my posting (but a similar story to yours... first recording in a new house!!)
Strong work team. I'm a big fan!
Thanks for your kind words, Kavin: and this album is STILL in the works; it's just been one hell of a year, and now it has to wait for RPM to finish... sheesh... k&w
this is really cool! As a beginning music-maker I am really impressed by how you kept that bass line groove fresh and interesting for the full 12 minutes. It was really great all the way through! The clapping, snapping, stomping rhythm breakdown at around 3 or 4 minutes was really cool, too :)
I deleted this a while ago I think. Just found it on a CD and decided to put it back up for your listening pleasure. It demonstrates the proper usage of a washboard!
Not recorded for RPM, but for the expected release of this album. Bones was a chinchilla R.T. got for Xmas '07 that died just after new year's. This is for her. She was the sweetest.
Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…

Doug - how great are you? GREAT! I think I need to spend more time on alonetone. I'm missing too much GREAT music. New Year resolution - I will take time to listen.

Our sun is in a long, cool, quiet period right now. But average ocean temps are the highest ever, and polar ice and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. Something is going on here.
