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…
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…
Lyrics:
Pass me a handle of that old time tennessee
It's been a while since I've seen the devil
It's a common mistake to think that I'm a sweet and gentle soul
but give me a chance to change your mind
Cause you have never seen me like…
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…
...real nice here; that end-of-phrase chord is wonderfully ambiguous -great emotional metaphors.
Thanks for listening to, and commenting on 'Sunrise...'
Happy New Year!!

Lyrics:
A lazy hound lying on the couch
sleeping the day away
The sunlight comes pushing through the curtains
warming the old dog's face
The savory smell from a wood burning stove
holds you while you awake
Brew some tea while others emerge…
WTF! we have known you too long and we only just now hear these amazing sounds of yours? we love it brando!!! great sounds friend... (where's the harp? call ryan anderson in tucson. he's a rad guy! great song, mate)
Originally a very different song, slowed to a dragging pace and laced with dense moans of twisted agony. There's a little bit of John MacDonald on lead guitar in the build too.
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

Dichotomy and harmony, hand in hand. Cool blue washes over the warmth of amber. The criss-crossing and melding of major and minor chords leave us anticipating where this will go next... all the way to the end. Well conceived, well played.

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…
Written and Recorded August 29, 2009

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.
Comments on brando's stuff
Nice peace, it makes me think of all of Us, here an now..
BRILLIANT! This is beautiful man!
oooooh this is great!! I really like the beat, vocals and the clean guitar around 1:58 or so.
This is kick ass! Really like the guitars and bass in this. Thanks for your comments too by the way!
...real nice here; that end-of-phrase chord is wonderfully ambiguous -great emotional metaphors. Thanks for listening to, and commenting on 'Sunrise...' Happy New Year!!
Easy Listening nice.
beauty! what do you mean "live play experimentation"?
Cool song Brando
WTF! we have known you too long and we only just now hear these amazing sounds of yours? we love it brando!!! great sounds friend... (where's the harp? call ryan anderson in tucson. he's a rad guy! great song, mate)
All that in 24 hours? Great! Especially that last segment. Just beautiful
Truly lovely track!
Thanks to SS for pointing me here. What a wonderful piece of music. Thank you!
Love this. Absolutely adore it.
Intriguing sounds. Cool track!
Awesome! Its goes from beautiful to epic.

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.
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.
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.
