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…

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.

Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.

My first rejected Ramen Music submission.
Too Much
I wrote you a letter but I never sent it
I was afraid you might never get it
or what if you did and I lived to regret it
and it was just too much for me to take
now its four in the morning…

I'm not so sure the tunes selected by Ramen music necessarily reflect the popular vote as demonstrated by Alonetone "most favorited", etc. And it is a thankless job, inherently biased, to make selections for Ramen Music. I don't envy the position of the editors. Alas, that was historically one of the problems that lead to the demise of other record labels...
In any case, don't let it work on your head. You have a sizeable fan base and we LOVE what you are producing. Now, return to your studio and get back to work: we are hungry for more!
I'm still getting around to re-upping everything I took down last October.... this is one of them, and if I recall correctly, this is the track that was the impetus for Paul & I to start collaborating. (Something I've been missing a lot…
I’ll make my exit on the wind
Nevermore to pretend
That I’m fine
Yeah, I’m good, so good
At doin’ everything I should
To convince you
That I’m okay for today
An’ I won’t crawl out of my skin
I’ll just pretend
Some days…
The first of 4 tunes coming your way with
the spotlight on my friend "Michael Thomas of Cave Street"
http://alonetone.com/cavestreet
This one is my favorite and chills me every time I hear it.
It never, ever, gets old.
Until Then (Shine…
Thanks for the comment, I dig your stuff too.... reminds me of Explosions in the Sky, one of my favorite bands. Maybe I'll stick around for a while longer & check more of your stuff out.
Heres a collab with Wildgeas Music a beautiful bit of music hope i did it justice with the vocal............
Tomorrow (Lyrics)
I know the curse of the darkness is coming
those dark nights that will feed upon my soul
with no forward glance of tomorrow…
"The expression that there is nothing to express, nothing with which to express, nothing from which to express, no power to express, no desire to express, together with the obligation to express." (From Samuel Beckett, Three Dialogues, "Tal Coat")
man, words fail... *this is so free & swingin'*
the only way this could get better is to hear it played on real horns & strings.
I just can't click that favorite button enough!
Dead soldiers from the war (pick one) gather together for old times' sake, ideally at the local tavern in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota. Which may or may not put Sleepy Eye on the map ....
This is quite as inspirational as any late period Zappa or Fripp ProjeKCts.... very heady stuff... I don't even know why I'm writing.
*shutting up now*
(OK just read your profile.... awesome list of influences, I will definitely be checking out more of your stuff)
I'm trying to experiment with intentionally combining two different sounds. Since I seem to find this difficult I am starting with using a drone as one of the sounds taking my inspiration from the opening tracks of the Brian Eno & Jah Wobble…
Another one from my ambient crackpot series.
This features two instances of my new instrument the Novaphone 340 Imperial. A grand name for a grand instrument (Xylo just didn't do it justice).
The first Novaphone is playing three samples…
There's a good reason most of Dirty Dan and the Family Band's music features the guitar. It's because his keyboard and trumpet players don't know what they're doing.
I wrote this song as a class project for "Quantum Reality and the Spiritual Quest" at the U of A. My basic idea behind it was to try and relay the wave/particle duality of light through musical terms.
Mama Corn is popular with several distinct audience types. Fully capable of pleasing the most finicky traditional audience with favorites from Flatt & Scruggs, The Stanley Bros, and Bill Monroe, the band is also very popular with Americana…
Why is it that every 10th or so comment that I make seems to disappear into a black hole?? Though I guess it's somewhat appropriate in this case, since the awol comment I made was suggesting a new name for this song (per Kavin's suggestion --- though I'm not entirely sure this is a better name).
My vote: *Schwarzschild Surfin'*
Think about it....
I took a week off work to do some music, and what with the riots, and a huge alcoholic binge having massively negative effects on my hedmeds, I haven't felt an ounce of creativity/positivity. rather pure misery. so i didnt even bother trying Monday…
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
There's a lovely sense of endless time in this - it works well with the drone
1 second late lol...really cool!
Man i just can't get enough of this song. Hurdy-gurdy me another time ;)
<3

listening to this album ,, I like the blue-mars effect :)

The guitar is killer! Great great great!
Sweet! good job guys!!!!!
Oh yeah! Waiting for more! Great beats and cool guitar in perfect unison! This is gonna be beautiful, guys! Tess
Great job both of you. This is great nice guitar. Brilliant.
Great tune and guitar , had to fav it.
uh yeah!!! great groove - i had the strong urge to lay along, and may have to later. i like lot's of layers and this has it.
Ohhh, I like what you've done with this! Beautiful string work here. Many thanks!
Wonderful stuff man! Love the percussion
Had to log back in to fav this one. Cant help but think of Lou Reed a little here.

Amen. It just doesn't always feel like it from our perspective. But thanks for reminding me again.
I'm certain I faved this. That's 2 I have found this morning! Love this track too!
Ohhhhhh Michael!!
