The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically.
The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…
Yeah- what Yelyah said- doesn't sound like a demo to me. I especially like those little crunchy sounding percussion parts buried back there. Nice stuff!! Wish I had your engineering chops :)

Episode One:
Sandbags allowed me to use his mad rhythms- see here for an explanation: http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/my-name-is-harry-palmer Sudara lent me some samples of him playing chords from his new autoharp, an ebow against piano…

I wrote this song after my brother passed away a couple years ago. His girlfriend of 4 years asked me to write the music to a poem she wrote. This is what it turned out to be.
Lyrics by Annie Buller.
I wrote this with two of my friends Diego (aka Mr. Napkinhead on alonetone) and Annie. an ode to pasta since my family is all about pasta. we had fun with the lyrics. wrote it in about 15 minutes, recorded it in an hour, and sang it that night…
were you guys tap dancing in the studio or what? It's so tightly woven into the continuous bass and rhythm tracks. And then it follows with all the layered strings... yeah, this one for sure. ;)
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
yeah, i just checked out Kirk's site. Those look like some sweep pipes! Wish I could afford your talented craftsmanship, those instruments look very inspiring!
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…
An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…
Vocals and percussion are courtesy of another recent alonetoner, K. Scot Sparks. While recording a simple guitar track in Kev's garage, things got intersting when we opened the garage door, and let the sounds of this huge flock of birds in the…
This song is a tribute to the space monkeys named Albert. They all died tragic deaths of various kinds during their forced service to the American space program.
yes! lined up like useful idiots. This track is spot on! goes from Whisky era Jim Morrison vocals to a Beck-esque groove, with a lyrical spirit of Dead Prez. MAD PROPS.
I was just playing along with a looper pedal, trying to work out some ideas for a "real" song. I was just recording straight to a single stereo track and not worrying much about my playing or the mix. But when I listened back afterwards, I thought…
this is perfect for combing through my thesis in the final days before the deadline. I can just get lost in text while the ethereal textures lead me to my next words. I love your use of trance-inducing guitar loops. turned a good friend onto this site and he is a big fan of your stuff. it's nice to have experimental musicians like you on alonetone. Thanks for uploading more stuff today!
btw- love the birds that subtly emerge through the ambience... and that synth pad that moves a half step up and back down....
you have achieved an amazing mood in this tune. props.

Nice to come home and get my GLU fix, very pretty with a hint of melancholy.

Nice mate
Yeah- what Yelyah said- doesn't sound like a demo to me. I especially like those little crunchy sounding percussion parts buried back there. Nice stuff!! Wish I had your engineering chops :)

Nice! How come your demos don't really sound like demos? :)
Ha!Very COOL!!

The world needs you Don G! You might have remixed his words, but you've got his thoughts word perfect.
wow, just got off the phone with a customer service 'happy machine' oh my oh my oh my.. the call reminds me of what inspired me to write this tune.
Thanks for posting the song description. Very interesting. Extremely original. Well done, bravo!
Wow. I am always amazed at how you can blend all of these unrelated elements into a very musical sounding track. How do you do it?? :)
I've beat on a lot of things, but the kitchen sink? Amazing.
sounds better every time I listen to it

damn, I cannot help myself from commenting again on this one... it captures a fleeting moment. Thanks for letting me re-experience it over and over.
yeah, i just checked out Kirk's site. Those look like some sweep pipes! Wish I could afford your talented craftsmanship, those instruments look very inspiring!
