that tickles. makes me think of that scene in "The Man Who Knew Too Little" with the Explosive Russian Nesting Thingy -- only Bill Murray is surrounded by a gang of marionette robots doing the Mamushka.
cheers glu for your comment. its taken me a while to get back to you. sorry. Glad you like it.
and this track of yours rocks. i often download your stuff. the Bush stuff is cool man.
Absolutely love this one. Whole new feel to your music is accomplished with the new sounds. Beats are trademark, but melody is great with elephant instead of a synth. The best trumpet nature can provide.

lyrics:
what’s happened to our city
where has she gone
another vertical building
built over more homes
in enclaves of exclusion
where the American dream is an American illusion
in this despotic system
it is hard to resist them
but…
I agree with Einstein that we cannot 'will' anything, the concept is religious at best(gulp). But you can change your paradigm,
I am certain Einstein's paradigm changed with his theory of relativity, no? The song was intended for avid fans of political change re-examine their own role in the democratic process, you cannot vote for change in this system, just as you cannot 'will' change...
but you can change the way you see the world.
Somehow missed this one. I'm wondering these days how much we truly can change our paradigm. Pondering this reminds me of my favorite Einstein quote:
"I don’t believe in the freedom of the will. Schopenhauer’s saying, that a human can very well do what he wants, but can not will what he wants, accompanies me in all of life’s circumstances and reconciles me with the actions of humans, even when they are truly distressing. This knowledge of the non-freedom of the will protects me from losing my good humor and taking much too seriously myself and my fellow humans as acting and judging individuals."

I love this track though!!

Sounds are 100% birds, bats, and squirrels.
Even that upstairs neighbor bangin' kick-
it's actually a bird call that I ran through a filter, pitched down and thrown into the
animal drum kit.
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.

Yeah Booooyyyyyyyyy!! Gettin' my trunk on!
Nice beat...
that tickles. makes me think of that scene in "The Man Who Knew Too Little" with the Explosive Russian Nesting Thingy -- only Bill Murray is surrounded by a gang of marionette robots doing the Mamushka.
Nothing I love more than horns and unintelligable lyrics. :) Great work.
Holy moly. I love this. Freakin love it. I want more!!!!!!!!! -E
ahaha. how cool is this.

diggin the lyrics
Whole new meaning to "When Doves Cry" ;) I take it you got a new toy?
very nice bro!
I'm a sucker for any tune built out of natural sound - and this fits the bill quite nicely!
Sounds are 100% birds, bats, and squirrels. Even that upstairs neighbor bangin' kick- it's actually a bird call that I ran through a filter, pitched down and thrown into the animal drum kit.
Woah, the kick in this one sounds like my upstairs neighbors banging on the floor.
Love those fingersnaps at 2:44 and that explosion at 3:22. This track is really something.
