ahhh Kirk, there is a world of darker glu that I've carefully buried here for excavation! This one was made with mandolin and the plucking of piano strings..
aspiring abductee pleas with alien to beam him into her ship.
Just a slight rework from early this year. New mix and vocals sometime in the near future. I'm lazy.

From today's one hour session:
acoustic guitar, fretless electric bass, tabla, tambourine, and the synthesque sound is the electric guitar played with a violin bow
written, recorded, mixed, and bounced in 30 minutes. Just a brainstorm.
Instrumentation: acoustic guitar, tabla, rattle, tambourine, claps, kick sample.

I think I dislike this song, but it's been sitting in my bounce folder far too long and something about it still makes me play it from time to time. Maybe you will like it more than I do. the simple lyric is not meant to be interpreted literally…

Here's a partially-orchestrated preview of a song we're currently writing. Another big toe-tapper, this one, a lovely 6/4 piece, an ode to half-diminished sevenths, and minor ninths, wherever they may fall.
The title comes from a quote from…
Shaken, not stirred please.
Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.
@ Licoresse.. yes most of what you think is gating exactly that. Some other chopping involved, but yeah, I experimented with gating for the first time! :-)
Lyrics:
Caged as a bird
free will is such a bitch
it's your responsibility to stay alive
pay the bills etc, etc
but how you enslave yourself
whether or not you enslave yourself
it's up to you
NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great! this draft is continuously replaced with newer versions. check back, please! (oh yeah…
This is my second experiment with "song form".
In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end.
Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…
I'm really digging all the layers and melodies. The rhythm section moves very nicely too. Loving where your music has been going over the past several months.

This one's for that little black and tan, Nahannah.
Lyrics:
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good
how'd you get so good
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good
how'd you get so good
first thing this…
It's the "do no harm" mix.
Because, theoretically you won't hear any difference between this and "technique 43".
Which is sad really, given how many hours I spent on it. Hours spent on the oh-so-exciting put-everything-in-Logic step…
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
This is day 24 of my 24 day project. So that means it's over.
And if you're reading this on alonetone, this is lucky track number 100.
24 "songs" in 24 days. Really, the only requirement was to produce a minute of music each day.
I wish…
This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…
Wrangled in the string band to a play a pleasant little toe-tapper.

Whoa, where the women at? It's f***in time! Always loved this one.
like it very much! and thanks for your kind words!
Very cool and just a teeny bit harmonically challenging. Awesome.
30 minutes? Very cool. Kinda sounds like an outro for something else. Reminds me a bit of some stuff from Anthony Phillips "Geese and the Ghost"
I feel like im in a holidaay ....ummmmm
The perfect titled track for me to listen to at this moment in time....I am really tired. Your tune however has refreshed me. Easy listening pleasure.
