A jazz tune featuring flute, sax, and one slightly out of whack Fender. All instruments played by Barry Morgan and the song was mixed and mastered in his home studio.
well, Barry.... mmmm-hmm! yes. this is not just good, it's well, damn good stew! Brookings, huh? Could that be Brookings, Oregon? I moved out here (Maine coast) recently from Silverton, Oregon, after livng in Oregon for 20 something years. Would have loved to collaborate when I was, there!
Simple little song. My view on how love really falls apart. Last verse is in my opinion an add-on. I wrote it after the rest, at the behest of someone who thought it was too "un-hopeful". It may have been a goood thing.
This is an "unplugged" version of a song that features a nylon stringed acoustic guitar. All instruments played by Barry Morgan and mixed and mastered in his home studio.
Believe it or not, this track was written as a pretty tame little song... Then I put new strings on the guitar and it simply refused to be played slow. Enjoy it for the drive and energy. Listen to the lyrics. For whatever reason, I hope you…
Well, the truth is I run a little hot. I think maybe all artists do. Creative fire is creative fire. Sorry about the vocals here, this is the scratch track, didn't have time to lay down the real thing before the clock struck twelve and I turned…
Thanks for the comments on this. It's funny, but the first tracks I put on here (Evolution, Fire In the night, Walk Down A Long Road) Were tracks I never released, or went any further with. I more than liked them myself, but the feedback I'd gotten from other writers was: too simple; not enough parts (verse, chorus, bridge), and of course, I AM am iconoclast, I give a flying fart about the "rules of writing" I kept them as they were. It is very gratifying to have other people get these. I wanted these songs to be the lyrics, wedded to the msuic, not served up on it like roasted turkeys. I am by nature a minimalist. I don't like clutter. I'm learning to create and produce songs in the studio that do have more to them. But to me they still have to be about the emotion, to advance the evoking of that emotion, or they're just ego stroking for the musically inclined. Again, my deepest thanks, and humble appreciation.
The Dance moves in all of us. It's our inner nature, our link to the universe, and greatly submerged and denied.
The Dance:
The dance commences,
pulse fills our senses,
To lead us to where we begin…
Oh, yeah, and my toes curl when you say anything good about my vocals (kidding) The dance was one of those songs I made it up as I sang it. The bridge was a total surprise, to me and to Steve, when I sang it. You know how it is? A song I'd never heard before, a melody I'd never sung before, came belting out words and all. Man was I thankful I don't practice without the record light shining! Background vocals: Oh god thanks for the comments there. Huge stretch for me. I did them all myself, except for the heavenly female high end part (Done by Wendie Gipson)There are actually something like three more parts, but I had to start wrapping things up for the challenge. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart
Cthulahoop recording commenced after a peculiarly strong dream. Uses samples of a friend's digerido run through an analog filter. Definitely dream state.

Thanks for the comments on this one, everyone. This my RPM "preferred" track. My first "reverse" collaboration. Steve Buzzell brought me the music as classical guitar and piano. I walked around with it for months, came up with lyrics and melody, sent it back to steve and laid out that lead guitar. It was sweet, but to "passive", so I ran his part through a guitar processor and "dirtied" (I wanted it as passion-wracked as the song is)it up. I hope he can forgive me. his guitar work is just so good, plus so intuitive. he gets what I need for the song. (His sax playing will just kill you).
This is probably to personal, to raw to put here, but I've been listening to some pretty courageous stuff here in alonetone. This is more of an occurence, a onetime performance, more of a memorial, than a recording. My dad had died recently, I…

I made this a little after having sex. I was in a state of pure.... something or other. and with that,came the inspiration for a crazy new hit. Hurah for human reproduction! XD
"Senses" is all about Spring where all our senses are sharpened and we look at all the beautyful things that rises before our eyes.
Watch the video from Second Life too...very well made by Soundr Productions;o)
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Not recorded for RPM, but for the expected release of this album. Bones was a chinchilla R.T. got for Xmas '07 that died just after new year's. This is for her. She was the sweetest.

Cool! Like that repeating guitar riff a lot
I'm loving how you play so straight from the source. It comes through in the music.
I do, of course love this. man would I love to sing to this! Spanish mood and passion throughout. Emotional dynamite!
I enjoyed your RPM effort man. Great job.
So unique, so creative, so perfectly Moschell. You are one of a kind Sir.
Good tune,
