Inspired by a large stone I saw in the Ortspark in Munich, which somebody had carefully engraved with the name Mabel.
No loops used this time, all virtual instruments played by me. Cymbal, guitar, acoustic guitar, violin.
A thoughtfully constructed and genuinely performed song, Steve. I particularly appreciate that way the violin and acoustic guitar interweave throughout. Nice job!
Thanks Tom. Yes, the track is shorter than I expected. I wanted the guitars speeded up, and in doing so it shortened the whole track considerably. Perhaps I will extend it. Cheers for listening : )
Love the funky bass in this one, Steve! My only "complaint" (if you want to call it that) is that I wish it were a little longer. That said, what you've made here sticks in the listener's mind far longer than its 1 and half minute run time might suggest, so I can see how one could argue the length is perfect.
Synths are meant to represent the fast beating heart of the technological city, with its busy trains and industrious people. The breathing is life, and the cheerful keyboard is supposed to be the fun and excitement of life in a city with a flourishing…
Thanks for listening and commenting on my track In 2. I'm returning the favor and the support. Well produced and interesting techno to my ears. Keep the muse going!
Cyborgs conquer the planet, crushing resistance and enslaving the human race. The cello represents the people who ignore the destruction and carry on as normal, like the orchestra playing on the deck of the Titanic as it went down.
There's another plane that I'll ride
and only I know where I'm going
and without reason I can't think
and your lies won't let me sleep.
This early morning sunshine
gets sucked into the wall
where perhaps we might draw from it
when we are…
Miles Away is a very simple guitar riff and lyrics that match, but it's a song that came from the heart of one of the band's members. It's kind of a tune about a newly married couple...like most Prood songs it was recorded after one or two rehearsals…
Glad you like it Tom. No, it is not based on the Aerosmith song. I've never heard that until just now. I wanted to try a kind of fusion of rock and dance, and I thought the barking noise would be funny at the end, as there are no vocals. I then thought that an amusing title would be a pun on the expression "Walking the dog", as if the noisy music was waking the dog. - Just how my mind works I guess.
It's been so long since I've made any music I've kind of forgotten how. I was just noodling about and thought I had a sound I liked so I bounced it out quite quickly.
This one is all made with Reaktor and Boscomac's Air Piano ensemble, plus…
Live in the Living Room cover of Hawkwind's Master of the Universe
Done for the Songcrafters.org fest Live in the Living Room, I made this recording in one take. Which isn't how I usually work. My guitar was put through fuzz and distortion…
Thank you Greg Connor for putting his wonderful harmonica on this song. Enjoy!!

My little steam train
Going to take me back
All aboard!

Hear that horn blow

This week, for the last few weeks, I had been working diligently on this, mixing elements of a gothic rock song,and elements of classical musical with the depiction of war, and hardship in mind. Ganon is always such an imposing force in these…
I recorded this one a while back for a short film which I am told will be out soon.
It's a reworking of my earlier piece, [gypsy caravan](http://alonetone.com/colingarvey/tracks/gypsy-caravan).
A Piece of Pi is our newest composition. It’s a brief summary of the story “Life of Pi”. A wonderful story needs a wonderful song. Hopefully we can meet this challenge and find like-minded people out there.

Dude! I love everything about this. Amazing stuff, Steve!

Thanks for that Proods!
Fun! A toe tappin' collage of sound!
Thanks for listening Tom. Glad you like it. : )
Aptly titled--I definitely was stomping along to the rhythm of this song. You mix a nice contrast of styles here. Well done, Steve!
Thanks for listening guest : )
Smooth
Thanks for your support and encouragement Tom : )
A really cool contrast between crunchy verses and catchy choruses, Steve! Big thumbs up!
another nice one.i will be rocking this one while im at work.

Strange and yet compelling.

Love the guitars, slow build but very enjoyable guys! Well done.
Nice sound. Like it guys!
Lovely song. Great vocals, nice guitar, good arrangement.
London accents, cool music. Love it!

Interesting mix of sounds. Cool!
Very nicely done Ed.
Great fun!
Reminds me of John Lennon. I don't know the song, but very nice.
Remember this one too. Amazing effort by yourself!
I love this old song. Nice arrangement mate
Like it. Soft punk feel to it.
Nice version! Good job.
Enjoying riding on your train. Great stuff
Nice mix of sounds and very listenable
Love the mix and that harmonica being wrung out. Interesting the way it develops and assaults your senses. Great work Colin!
I had to listen again. Colleen's right. It's captured the movie in audio. Calm, stormy, pacy, slow, loud, quiet, and wonderful singing tops it off!
Love it! Rocking!
