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.

@ kirk, look forward to finding out which ones are your faves! Thanks again for listening... I'll try to get these individual tracks up soon, once I attempt recovery ;-)

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!

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.

A mashup of “Bodyrox - Yeah yeah (Ramirez remix)” and “Bucky Done Gun - M.I.A.”
Part of “The big crash of '07” album. Which is a collection of mostly prototypes of songs that are lost because of a harddrive failure. C'est la vie.
I'm completely against war and do not buy into the idea that it's for 'protection' but this track is dope and I'm glad you decided to upload more tunes here!
Si me recuerdas debe ser que hay algo en ti.
Puede ser tal vez, que el destino es real
y une nuestras vidas.
Siento que hay algo en mí, esperándote
desde siempre, por mil vidas hasta que te encontré.
Viajaré otra vez sobre cerros y mar…
woah, different sound than most other cosmic microwave stuff! Really digging the more melodically based approach to these electronically crafted tracks. Excited to see what else comes out of this ongoing collab. Cheers!
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…
WOAH! I get entranced by this kind of sound. It reminds me of the sensation I get with the didgeridoo. Monotonal foundation... it evokes a meditative state. Everything surrounding me can be moving rapidly but this sound slows down that internal clock.. ephemeral moments become everlasting... It moves melodically exactly when in needs to, and your pipe performance is just leaves me in awe. Thanks for uploading this amazing tune.
This is a live recording of a set I did with guitarist Mike Levine on a University of New Hampshire radio show. This is one of the 'songs' we did. It is a 5-tune Irish fiddle set that was previously done by the great Irish fiddle player Martin…
A late night meditation.
Here's the process:
Started just auditioning sounds in my Live library. When I do this, I play some random chords or two note intervals; often not looking at my hands or the keyboard. That's the spark. Here I started…
This is another track resulting from a project in my digital music class at Oasis Charter Middle School (Spring 2007). Using a common pool of objects, my newborn daughter's baby instruments, I asked the students to create episodic sound illustrations…
Saw an add on TV for something called "Drag Me To Hell". Dunno what it is with horror films, but apparently scary music is on my mind. Thanks for helping exorcise it.
The guitar part, btw, is e-bow plus slide so any tonality is an accident.
I would be wigged if I listened to this alone at night... on headphone, especially while slightly intoxicated.... the evil ebow in this = machines screaming in agony. I Love the rhythmic bleeps and bloops that carry the song along.
This is a total remake of an earlier posting.

In the lyrics, I was trying to capture a sense in which there is something else beyond -
something which draws me as it were homeward. A son…

For my friend and coworker, because he certainly deserves it.

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

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!
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!
fantastic, well worth all the sleep dep!
What can I say? This is beautiful and I think I shall listen to the whole thing all over again :)

wow.. the 10 year song is finally done.. methinks a success!
wow, really nice! an indirect collab with pops.
really enjoying this playful track. Nice beat!
btw.. I forgot to actually comment on how smooth your flow is lyrically... really nice rhymes.. good to see some more hip hop on alonetone!
I'm completely against war and do not buy into the idea that it's for 'protection' but this track is dope and I'm glad you decided to upload more tunes here!
love the mood in this one.
que linda amigo! me la encanta.. really nice all the way around.
woah, commenting on my own tune is weird, but I totally forgot about this track from back in the day. Totally different glu era

enjoying this one of yours childhoodsend. all these familial collabs inspires!
yeah, definitely edgy stuff here. nice tunes!
love it.
mmi you are the alonetone ambient connoisseur
love it! Wish I had a digital music class in middle school!

nice song! I could listen to bossa nova all day, and the tinge of blues works very well. All these parent/offspring collaborations make me jealous!!!
ghost in the machine! love it!
oh and how could i forget? songs for business colleagues ftw!
