This is the first of several songs in a collaboration with Laura Kepner-Adney. Laura has a beautiful voice and a gift for arranging music. It is an exciting project with more to come.
Featuring Ryan Anderson on harmonica.
Lyrics:
As a boy…
After several listens I am better able to describe my reactions. I love the way you let the track build up in it's own time, unhurried. I love the sound, the rhythm, and the desolate, but stoic, feelings you evoke. Kudos to both of you!

As a boy…
Lyrics:
I don't know what you want
when you treat me that way
I can't help being turned on
Is that what you want
Just to see what I would do
To see if I'm in love with you
I'm trying so hard
to sit here and ignore
the way that you…
This one's for that little black and tan, Nahannah.
Lyrics:
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good
how'd you get so good
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good
how'd you get so good
first thing this…
Lyrics:
Caged as a bird
free will is such a bitch
it's your responsibility to stay alive
pay the bills etc, etc
but how you enslave yourself
whether or not you enslave yourself
it's up to you

Lyrics:
I'm not sleeping
I'm staring at the ceiling
My mind's a thousand miles away
I'm finding faces in the shapes
of plaster that was scraped on the ceiling
Killing time is not so bad
but when you're trapped inside your head…
Yo-Yo Ma uploaded this cello part on indabamusic and invited others to create with it. I thought it was a cool idea. I had help with this christmas song from Matthiew, a wandering Parisian trumpet player.
A friend sent me a loop he made on Reason, and I added a 2nd bass track and about 4 vocal tracks in various stages of aural legibility.
In the song I try to give a friend advice about how to stop his spiral downward. Starting with practical…
"live play experimentation" was referring to my high hopes for a band that has since totally dissolved. Love the vocal jumble on this one. And look at this... two more.
This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…
I'm almost totally happy with this song except it is for the mix. I would appreciate any comments on how to improve it. Is too bassy and the mix has a big blip in the beginning where it gets louder for a second. I know I can fix some of that with…
So glad that I randomly stumbled into this room of the alonetone mansion. After the first tune, I was all in. I actually like the distant feel in the mix of this one. Hope to hear more soon.
I've been listening to the output of my *Reichenbach* Reaktor ensemble all morning as it loops and phase shifts a recording of Erik Satie's solo piano piece Gnossiennes-1
I find it to be quite beautiful and entrancing and I decided to render…
Left over audio from "How to Glu"
This one is about power and resistence.. which I find to be quite sexy when I think about it.
Instrumentation: distorted and clean acoustic guitar, swords, tabla, synth, drum programming, clapping, vocals.
lyrics:
i got a hot date
and you know i don't wanna be late
i need a ride
to the bowling alley
get ready cuz here i come
put my new skirt on
chewing peppermint gum
did my eyebrows fresh
white musk on my neck
part my hair to the right
cuz its…
I picture this being the opening song in a stadium appearance, stage dimmed, with colors of light sneaking around for those first :18 then BAM! Lights up. OH MY GOODNESS!! ...I'd like to see that someday.
Well now, this is actually a very old track, made back in March '09 and not that long after I started learning piano.
I was learning a very simple 12-bar blues piece and getting bored with the piano sound I started messing about with the Logic…
One of the things about my [Glitching Satie](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/glitching-satie-1) track that I wasn't comfortable with was that it wasn't my recording that I was using. But I'm nowhere near good enough to play a piece like Gnossiennes…
for REALZ, this is way far from being done. this is an oldie from a previous duo I was in, VC Andrews, (http://www.myspace.com/vcandrews) and i wanted to give it new life. Listen to the old version at the myspace page to hear how it's going to…

I can't hide the fact that I've listened to Pierre Bensusan. Or that I've longed to return to Paris.
Just a spontaneous (and very rough) two hour tune. Written and recorded yesterday, edited and mixed today. I might as well get it uploaded now because I'll be spending the next two weeks preparing to move across the country.

NOT FINISHED. another 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! this draft is continuously replaced with newer versions. check back, please! (oh yeah…
Ha, thanks to alonetone radio, I've gotten to this one first. Sounds great. You seem to have come to a great spot with your music where you are regularly producing substantive, quality music. Congrats! I look forward the next upload.

OMG utterly fantastic!
very pretty
Very soulful. Well done!
Beautiful song, great production and balance too.
...niceness, man!
...PRETTY, man; thanks for checking that recent tune out. Best to you- ks
nice little melodic piece!
Great song. A bit of a Syd Barrett feel...gotta love it!
simple and so effective...whatta sound! Aces!
Wow!! This is so different to the other track of yours I just listened to..... This has the spook factor about it! Haunting and stunning!
The Gig Revolution is one of my favorite things ever released on Alonetone. Half the songs are on my 1st "favorites" playlist. Great stuff here.
I love this..lots going on. It takes the listener on a journey. Stellar arrangement!
Always a classic - timeless and charming. Where are you? Come back - upload more magical stuff.
Ah yes, a song with texture and variation. Lovely arrangement, beautifully crafted. Very much enjoyed.
this soothes my soul. -d$
Truly lovely track!
This is beautiful! I see those faces all the time.
Super nice track. Great job!
...beautiful opening- most tasteful throughout, senor! Man o man. ..yeah.

You guys are the best! Great story, great blues, great narration.

This is intensely dark. Ambient tracks like this can be hard to pull off. This is very well done.
This is wonderful. I think I could listen to this for hours. I used to spend a lot of time listening to Glass and Reich, thanks for reminding me.
This recording quality is great. Good atmosphere. So clear.
Oh. No wonder this song has been "kicking ass" for so long, it kicks ass. I'm going to go punch Jon Kyl in the back of the head.

This is really nice. Well titled.
These are some nice tunes you have here.
An new take on a favorite of mine. Nicely done.
2:06... 2:24... take it down... build it up... big smile on my face.
Really love this beat!
It's been too long since I've settled into a Sudara album. I heart every song.
Like walking through a dusty, hostile saloon.
I forgot how much I LOVE this song.
The sister can throw a vocal on anything of mine any day as far as I'm concerned.
These are beautiful.
The first 30sec sold me %100.
