Found this one while clearing out the cobwebs prior to the 2011 RPM Challenge. It appears to be as finished as its going to get, sooo... here it is.
In short: a quirky love song for our cybernetic brothers and sisters who dance to a different beat.

Some guy called me back in college when I had a particularly odd outgoing message on my answering machine. He left me a message in return and I kept it all these years, finally putting it to some use.

Melodic, peaceful, and trance-inducing instrumental. Used a synth clav as the underlying thematic instrument, then layered a few other things on top. The "guitar" counter-melody at the end is me playing a bass in the upper registers.

@Kirk: Thanks! I couldn't think of how I wanted to lengthen it, so I gave up and released it as-is. (It had been sitting in my "works-in-progress" folder for about 2 years.)
@Sis: He's mostly just saying its a cool answering machine message. Maybe I'll re-use the audio sometime in something else so you can hear it better. :)

This composition is a remix/reincarnation of a [previous tune](http://alonetone.com/gcd/tracks/seven-flavors-of-milk) I wrote a while back. I wasn't ever quite satisfied with it and had neglected to incorporate a nifty additional bit of melodic…

Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.

I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…
A song inspired by a picture of a Dancer...
Hope you Guys like it!
Soooo Much great music on the site!!! Can't wait till the weekend, so I can listen to it! You guys are Freaking Awesome!
Thanks for having me...
Peace

Some interesting ideas in this. In places, it sounds like there's some similarity to a band called Greater Than One. (Check them out if you haven't! They made industrial tunes in the late 80's.)
Might be fun to slowly fade in the drums behind the first dialog sample, playing with the EQ for the drums along the way. I wouldn't mind hearing the other sound you initially bring in with the drums warped a bit more as you play it... maybe mess with the resonance or add a ring shifter effect. I particularly like the forlorn piano notes... you could almost make a song out of that, very minimal muted drums, and some wispy/echoing atmospheric noises.
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
Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
Our sun is in a long, cool, quiet period right now. But average ocean temps are the highest ever, and polar ice and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. Something is going on here.
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line
just…
[Thanks to Helen and Colin for coming to my aid with the warblings! :) ]
When You Least Expect It
And you're out to dry
And its all too hectic
Thats when it comes x 2
And it feels electric
And you feel alive
Cos when you least expect…
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
Comments on Galileo's Cough Drop's stuff
Thanks for the comments! I liked it well enough to keep listening to it, but kept thinking I was going to do more with it, hence the burial. :)
Overheated circuits in action! Very cool piece!
fun piece,,, a very different style from my own,,, it's the kind of music that will clear the cobwebs out me thinks....
I really like that. How come it was buried under cobwebs? Brilliant stuff!
I keep coming back to this one. It's entertaining and creative.
Cool. I actually rather like that the voice is indistinct. But I'm strange that way ;-)
Very dark with threatening overtones. I like.
dig it... perhaps you should put that on your current answering machine and have us leave you messages :-)
Cool! I must try some more experimental stuff like this myself
I am a spy. And this just totally blew my cover. Intriguing track!
Very cool. Love that synth sound, man!
Been listening to some of your stuff, this one stood out the most. great guitar work (midi)? classic mood GCD!

Wow! Great music! Too short!
:)
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, etc.? Great track!
Groovy music and a linguistic mystery (can't make out the words, "lyrics" please!) - very compelling!
Sorry deleted my comment, spelling mistake. I said that this is great to dance to. Let's hear it for the percussion. I'm gate crashing!
Yep, this is still groovin'.
Still a great track!

Wonderful track! A couple of very minor rough spots, but the tune comes across quite well.
Fantastic job! I can feel the Spanish sun when I listen to this.
This has a great mellow feel to it... felt carried along by the tune!
Okay, this just completely kicks ass. Love the timbres.
I dig it. Plenty of things going on to hold interest throughout.

Gorgeous tune. Well played, sir!
Good stuff!
This definitely rocks. Killer guitar work!
Great ambient track. Well done!
Awesome grit on that synth, and cool groove!
You really got in the spirit!
Beautiful tune!
Very nice! Lovely texture.
Extremely tasteful layers on top of the perfect groove. Love it!
Love the feel of this tune.
Great emotion in this... well done!
I like it so far! Great tune, looking forward to hearing it on 12-string.
