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.
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…

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…

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.

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.
