where'd my comment go??? i compared you to a meeting of the Beatles and Trent Reznor. but with a genius of all your own.
i am zero percent surprised that you, off all people, could make so much fresh and awesome music in 24 hours.

something is so Beatles about this. i imagine Paul collaborating with Trent Reznor. i hope you don't mind being compared to other artists. other geniuses.
the thing i really really really really love about the chord progression is the last chord of each phrase in the chorus. how it goes THERE, instead of There.
this is the trailmix i want to bring with me through the circles of hell.

Also till can't believe that all of you pulled off this quality in 24 hrs. I practically crucified myself over a damn track less than a minute and half long!

Thank you to all who took the time to listen and comment. I'll soon post newer versions of each track (separately). I hope it was an enjoyable twenty-four minutes. cheers.

Very cool. Love the atmosphere and all the different layers of sounds.
Also, Thanks for the comment about my song and bringing up the drums. I'll try Track Therapy, too.

This is a new song that started as a guitar pick, then got some words. I finally recorded this. It has 3 parts. Nylon guitar, Electric and voice. This is part of the "human racing" series I am working on.
Matter is surprising
Not what…
I'm almost totally happy with this song except it is for the mix. I would appreciate any comments on how to improve it. Is too bassy and the mix has a big blip in the beginning where it gets louder for a second. I know I can fix some of that with…
nice track.. love the lyrics! Because you are looking for comments to improve your mix... you could also try the alonetone forum section "track therapy" -- it's a little sleepy but maybe more folks will start posting if more start using it.

I recommend doing something with the percussion to compliment that nice bass; drums sit too low in the mix- bring them out... and they could use some variation to keep the track moving/building. Nice song idea, I look forward to hearing the final mix. cheers!
Fiddling around with an open G tuning and I found the chord that 'Prodigal Son' is based on (a Robert Wilkins tune from the 30s made famous by the Stones) so I had a play around with it, stopped for dinner and came back and wrote the lyrics…
New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…
This is my first recording and not great quality. I have ordered a better quality microphone, just waiting for it to arrive. Quality aside, I was hoping for some constructive critcism/comments on my version of this song.
yeah, it was a quixotic ambition I had about a year ago, before I fully admitted to myself that everything has been done before. Nevertheless, thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it!
yo Nitro!!! Yer fix is coming. about 5 hot cakes... one just uploaded.. but the best is soon to come.. early next week. I kidnapped a Peruvian until Sunday; you should come meet him! After I hand him over to the proper authorities I will finish these tunes. You will love them....

dooope.
Plenty of very good melodic and harmonic ideas. It must have been the perfect flow.

I'll be looking forward to new versions of the individual tracks. I definitely had my favorites from within the 24 minutes
Thank you to all who took the time to listen and comment. I'll soon post newer versions of each track (separately). I hope it was an enjoyable twenty-four minutes. cheers.
I am speechless, just so cool!!! GREAT music, words, feel, and mix!!!!
Damn. You guys keep raising the bar for these 24 hour challenges. =)
Hi there... The comment you left made me curious ! And you've got really good stuff here ! Kinda NIN influence that I love !
Holy wow! I can't even fathom being this creative for an afternoon, let alone 24 straight hours!
So dream like... I am in a trance. Love it.
Very cool. Love the atmosphere and all the different layers of sounds. Also, Thanks for the comment about my song and bringing up the drums. I'll try Track Therapy, too.
Impressive. Most impressive.
At 20 minutes now and this is brilliant!
OOOH- 5 minutes in now and enjoying it. That mood shift right before the 5 minute mark is really cool!

¡magnífico! what a powerful piece
thanks moschell! you hit the nail on the head!
kirk-- keep excavating that hard drive.. this one is lovely!
just perfect. lovely voice. welcome!!!
i mean light.. as in happy and slightly melancholy. I'm serious about those evolving layers of sound... awesome.
it dances between light and slightly melancholy thanks to the interesting progression. Moving textures ftw!
yeah, it was a quixotic ambition I had about a year ago, before I fully admitted to myself that everything has been done before. Nevertheless, thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it!
really enjoyed the lyrics! nice one Moschell!
This is awesome!
Love it! Nice no budget choir!
