Whoa, flipping back to the minor at the last second! I was thinking to myself that things seemed far too positive and uplifting on that last leg for a person who had been grueling over notes and tones for 24 hrs! Excellent work.
I'm really digging these. Planning on expanding them at all? extending length?.... separating them? I really like the melody at 14:00. what a mood in that one. Why can I only heart something once on here!?
srsly, this has been amazing! i've been listening all yesterday, and again today whilst studying....
you have amazing talent, brando.... wish i had made you give me some stuff to listen to earlier!

An extremely commendable endeavor! Ever since reading the book "The Frustrated Songwriter's Handbook" I've wanted to try one of these all day write-a-thons. Maybe someday I'll shut out the outside World and actually do one. My hat is off to you sir!
I knew this would be a rewarding listen (like all of your stuff) - but man... all this in 24? Outstanding! Loved the crunch - but the last seven minutes are just plain wonderfully melodic. Wow. Excellent work (as usual) Brando... now get yourself some well deserved sleep. ;) k (& w)
A masterpiece indeed. I am wowed, but not surprised. Your work is always amazing. A favorite of many. Are you planning on exploring any of these ideas more? You could easily turn this into an hour long album. Each piece is so well defined and poignant. kudos.
Yeah brando!!!! Wow, this is a masterpiece. I'm loving minute 9-10, it is rocking so heavy and great panning, degradation and oh my. bubbly and so many sounds and adventures and man. Congrats!
The song was constructed around a field recording of Lacandon men paddling across the lake in Métzabok, Chiapas (Southern Mexico). The Lacandon speak "Hach T'an," which is a Mayan dialect-- this is the language you hear in the track. Unfortunately…

Suds, you bet I'm interested. I'm off in Renton (Oh to Renton) right now with Blythe, but I'll be back in action in a week or so. I'm planning on attempting another 24h on 8/30. I'm hoping that will kick off the new era.
This is one track where I can say, without reservation, that I am really happy with how it came out.
I worked up a beat I liked with 3 Stylus RMX parts making good use of chaos and time designer for the breaks.
For the first time I really…
NOT FINISHED. another doo-doo draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great!

Just a slight rework from early this year. New mix and vocals sometime in the near future. I'm lazy.
Here I attempt to articulate a few distinct feelings of the home, or the affect of cultivating one's own space, or not.
Instrumentation: house keys, pots and pans, long bamboo flute, synth, drum programming, voice(s), and didgeridoo (a real…

great stuff brando!! really enjoyed it all but especially the last four/five minutes
killer sounds and moods, bdo. i <3 14:04. seems to sum you up very well. i'd love to hear some vocals over that, too. :)
Wow! This is just phenomenal. Start to finish, you had me enthralled. Wow.
I'm glad you went on the 6th, too. You've made the Southwest Region proud. What will you do with your new powers?
YEAH... GREAT. eXcElLeNt... wow... really emotive

Thanks guys. I'm not sure if I'll ever touch this stuff again. That was hard work. I'm beat.

That's a wonderful gift. It's always nice to hear new work.
This is great. Love the info and picture. This song is a whole package; the real deal.
Well then, looks like we've started an inspiration feedback loop. I'll be trying again 8/30 if anyone is with me.
BTW this is one amazing piece of work. The bar is raised too high, and I can't see it anymore. Next time 'round I'll just stroll right under it.
These new tracks are amazing. I love this one, and two headed sweater is a masterpiece. Vox up on all please. So good.

Nice, I'm ready to rally.
sweet.
Great new tracks. I'm looking forward to delving back into alonetone soon.
I'm left speechless by this.
I agree with ACL. This will be a hit.
Incredible!
My very first fav even favoriter!
Diggin it.
Whoa, where the women at? It's f***in time! Always loved this one.
This song is hilarious and great. When did all these tracks appear? I have some catching up to do.
I've been really into an 80's, new order style sound lately. This track really does it for me.
Always love your guitar work. So beautiful.
faved 3secs in.
Damn! No wonder this is "kicking ass". I'm glad that piece uses a french press. It's more potent that way.
