You asked me where these rumors start.
"I don't know," I said and crossed my heart.
But I told you I did not hope to die.
You said you can't trust no more.
Why start now? You never did before.
Now I just have to pause and wonder…

This is an experiment in stacking real time delay/looped tracks that had no preconceived connections... all overdubs were done without listening to previously recorded tracks. I hear some very interesting synchronizations.... You?

I've been all around
I've been up and down
I said I've traveled in all directions
Now
The world is new
If you've seen what I've seen
And you've been where I've been
I guess you know what I mean
Now
The world is new

Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

Goodbye Blue Monday

Goodbye blue Monday
There's nothing else to say
We always knew
we would part this way
Time comes to say goodbye
To pause perhaps and wonder why
Why we always had to be
So blue, so blue
I can see that life…
This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…

As night falls, a cold wind blows
Together we shall strive
Hold me now before I fall apart
and come undone in pieces
and fall to the earth the like rain
Hold on through the dark
Hold on climbing together
Hold on to me as…

(RPM 2011) For obvious reasons, many RPM albums make use of improvisational sound collages. ;-) This is the first of three that divide the record into sections. You may or may not hear the connections in the lyrics, but it actually does make…

Thanks to all for the comments, and thanks for listening. This is my favorite thing I've written in quite awhile. Not sure if it's in spite of or because of the pain that inspired it, but either way, it allowed me transcend the overwhelming depression to which I had awoken.

Remake of another old song. This is little me and my big acoustic, recorded with two cheap microphones. The dynamics of this song make it next to impossible to get the flat sound I want out of it. Any recording engineers out there? ;…
My girlfriend was born in the Middle East, that's why I've come to listen a lot to Arab, Persian, Turkish, and Tuareg music. I improvised this song within a few early morning hours after coming home from a concert by the incredible Tuareg rock…
Several listeners told me that this song reminds them a lot of Air. By that time I only knew that there was a band with this name, but I had never listened to any of their songs. But now they're one of my favorite bands and I listen to them in…

But then sometimes in the colorless light of a hazy windy moonlit night, the feeling haunts you like you've known that you would always be alone.
But then sometimes in the sparkling sun, you think of things you should have done…

This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…
I'm at work & listening to this now... still not quite satisfied with the intonation of the hurdy-gurdy (I had to pitch shift the sample I found). Reefwalker has done an excellent remix which I will probably upload this evening provided he gives his permission.

Thanks for the comments! I've now upped a different mix with a hurdy-gurdy sample.... not exactly what I had in mind, but you get the idea. Let me know if you or someone you know plays a hurdy gurdy, and we'll do it right.
An experiment in using [Photosounder](http://photosounder.com/) which is a spectral editing tool.
This track started as a sharp tin can hit which I turned into a droning gong. But I had no idea where to go next.
So I started rifling through…
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
No doubt you have heard parts of this before.
Guys - if I could play like this I would not be making a living as a chemist! This is a midi file I ran through pianoteq - I put this together in an hour this morning and I wanted to share before…
I couldn't talk for a while afterwards and I felt like a moron after listening to my vocals, but it had to be done :) So no laffin'!

Comments on Cave Street's stuff
Brilliant the whole feel the honesty great vocal loved it"....."
thanks for all the great comments Cave!
Pretty cool stuff. Sadly I've overlooked your music for too long. Sorry.
a trick of the light, part two
That is pretty interesting! I must try some experiment like that myself
Humanity in a nutshell!
There's such subtle slow build to this. Great track.
Yep it's still beautiful. I just had time to hear it in the album setting. This has been a great half hour ..
What a beautiful song. Great vocal, Mr Street.
*no words*
Wow, mournful and affecting.
Beautiful.
Who doesn't love this guy's voice? Just gorgeous.
What an appetiser! Ice cool!
I'll be back for a proper listen......have to take the wife to work.....she is yelling.....I really like what I hear so far.....
If this is what arises from depression, then there is at least one good thing about that. It's a good song, enjoyed it!
Excellent. Love your voice (as always) and guitar tremelo. Post the lyrics!

@ Wildgeas - this totally needs some harmonica!
This is a keeper :)
Comments made by Cave Street
...you had me at *tremolo*
Woah.... Heavy track!
Great music for enhancing the visuals.... Love this stuff!
Diggin' this! You ever listen to Greg Keelor of Blue Rodeo? Great sound & vibe on this... really excellent!
I like each of them for different reasons... What happens when you blend 'em? I'd like to hear that.
Nice dynamics and *epic* lyric, man!
This sounds like it could have come off of the "Infrared Roses" album... *most excellent!*
The legendary Bevis Frond would be proud to have written this one! Well done, chaps!

*VERY COOL!*
Dig it! I'll be checking out the rest of your stuff ASAP.... welcome to alonetone.
excellent track! And I hear exactly *zero* mistakes...
Really like this one, Stu!
WOW. Faved!
Killer track!
Chemist, you say? :-D
What's to laugh at?! This is a killer cover!
I still can't get over how freakin' great this take of this classic song is. Have I told you lately this is ** *AWESOME* ** ?
Nice work!
