@Ed: You're welcome & thank you!
@vaisvil: It's an SCI Six Trak. Yamaha CS-series are awesome. I love what Vangelis did with his 70(?). It's all over the Blade Runner soundtrack. Killer stuff.
Thank you for the comments. I don't often comment here anymore but I do want to answer your Rhodes question. I believe Ben uses a Yamaha Motif. The clarinets are real. I'd love to hear your new age version of Stairway - that would be grand!
@ACL: Thank you. I'm quite taken with it myself. I have to remind myself (lest my head get too fat & swollen) that my muse creates these, not I. I simply recreate in the real world what she's singing in my head. :) Thanks for listening.
I had envisioned the title referring to a suicide; however I suppose it could be anything attempted without success. In case you've not sussed it out yet, our friend Elle is not a happy camper.

Well then, this is a surprise! Thanks to all who have listened & thanks for reading this comment. I must say that this (sigh) is not my favorite track on this album. Give http://alonetone.com/fallingupart/tracks/angry-angel a whirl, or perhaps http://alonetone.com/fallingupart/tracks/cloud-watching or http://alonetone.com/fallingupart/tracks/sylvan-repose
Thanks again!
Perpetual motion of things that will not stop even when we're no longer here. Strange feeling.

"Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?" Pointless, really... "Do the stars gaze back?" Now…
I was typing out a long comment about star-gazing and meteor showers and my cat stepped out the keyboard and made it vanish. C'est la vie. This would have made a pleasant soundtrack for my meteor-gazing of the past few nights.
What with all the great Zep covers posted by Tworegs and Chris Vaisvil, here's mine, I enlisted the vocal of the man himself, thanks Reg! Also note my new fretless strat as second guitar here.

Seb's sleeping soundly so i had a little time to do a live in the cellar version of Squeeze box by the Who...i added the percussion after hope you enjoy....Now i can carry on the day and little more relaxed after Squeezing this on out..
Misheard lyrics?
"But (Bought?) the fucking T-Rex
In your wide velvet breast
So I somehow I know
That it's safe"
Do I have that right? You do say you "forgot all your songs / The words now are (all?) wrong." Perhaps I am hearing those last lines correctly. Hmmm.
I adore the chord motion around 1:30 to 1:40. Oh, it's part of the progression. It happens at :18 and :35 and probably elsewhere. Funny I did not hear it first time through until the fourth repetition or so!

Poetry, a Cubist’s View is a “mash” of Benjamin Smith’s Ben.improv.Jul.16.2013 on electric piano and a combination of Paul Mimlitsch’s bass clarinet and soprano clarinet improvisations: “71913bcimpx1?, “71913scimpx1?, and “71913scimpx2?. I added…

It begins with electronics: it must be good. ;) Oooh, I love the low, looming, video-game-noise-at-the-end sound. Nice lead, too. :) I'm all smiles. :)

Thanks for the nice comments - I am digging the synth!
love the sound of your synth here - reminds me lot of the old CS-10 I once had a very long time ago. http://www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/cs10.php

@facemask93: Woah! That is a huge compliment! Thank you. Wendy Carlos is one of my massive heroes.
@Wrinkled: Thanks. It's all done on one analog synth, the classic SCI Six Trak. Three other tracks on this album were realized in the same manner. :)
Sounds subliminal, tasty bits of washing synths. nice stuff.
This is so good , reminds me of switched on Bach
I love the melody. w;-)
Very cool! w;-)
Diggin the synths.....nice open feel.
Sinister.....

@slugg: Heh heh. I see what do did there. Thanks for listening!

Love the woodwinds
I really like this song! Great harmonies

A pleasant "boy lost girl" ballad. Nice harmonies.

Is this live timpani and steel drums? If it's not, it sure sounds that way! I like.
Very relaxing. Splendid harp work. 8)
Nice instrumental. I'm going to listen a second time right away! :)
I like the line "you talk about nothing / to fill the empty space."
One of my fav Zep tracks, nicely covered Reg & Kavin-acoustic-style. Well, there's some electric in there, but who's quibbling? Not I.
Pour me up some of your drink of choice, Reg. ;)

Very nice ambient track. What's the instrumentation?
I enjoyed the nice burbling flanger at the end, too.

Reminds me of some of Gilmour's post-psychedelia contributions to the Floyd. :) (I hope that's a compliment.)

I heard this on the radio just the other day. ;) Sorry, I jest. Nice piano tone. Is it a real Rhodes or synthesized?
