I really was carrying the ash from the fire out in the dark and looking at the stars and thinking how weird that was - to be throwing the ashes out in the middle of the night and pitch black and everything
Now ye sons of the kraaken, let's get to some honest pillaging, shall we? Aaaarh!
The devil is an idle jest compared to what's within this chest

OK it's the morning after the party at the China Quay, and our hero is waking up. What has happened?
Influenced by about 6 different doowop tunes (great for hangovers!)
Here now, there be treasure to hide and we'll bury it full deep in the earth, and ye with it if you tell the tale. To the shovels lads, and dig down.
International Talk Like A Pirate day is upon us, so swab yer decks and break open the Rum…

Space Trumpet was an excuse to try out my new plugin "Little Spacey" from Expert Sleepers and also to exercise the Kore sounds from Acoustic Refractions.
MIDI was supplied via IAC from Reaktor using Lazyfish's Spiral sequencer. The project…
This is my 12 hour song (written, recorded, mixed, mastered) ... I pined away all day at it while a storm kept me company.
instrumentation:
a man lost his house and sold me his fretless bass for next to nothing. a family friend gave me…
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
I'm better at using my pots and pans for music than for food, so I post this tune in hunger. 3 pots, 1 pan, and a tabla.
"i'm just a gangsta in the jungle" recorded in the amazon. It's actually a part of a monologue that I will likely never post…
Thanks guys and gal(s).
And thanks for keeping it in perspective, moschell. I'll see what I can do. Time is short tho' so it might have to grow it's own wings.
Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace.
We lost him just over a year ago.
Among many other unexpected, Christ-like kindnesses, he realized at one point…
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…
After yesterdays experiment with noise gates and vocal transformers I thought I'd have another go using Rytme as the source material.
A single Rytme track with multiple playheads is playing into a Logic channel containing Kore playing the Absynth…
A second experiment with my new Rytme sequencer. This time Rytme is being fed into Logic to a track containing Kore 2 which is, in turn, hosting Kontakt 3 and the lovely Guzheng from Soniccouture (I bought the instrument before the new year but…
This is my cover of 'Lady Killigrew'. This song was originally done by Sister Savage, and Bethan Mathis, and can be found on either of their alonetone pages. I highly recommend their version. They sing prettier... probably look prettier too…
Cool Indeed! the vocals have a clarity that is true to the original idea and I love the tangential approach. Great stuff. Listened three times and still grinning!

Hey this is pretty cool.
That's a good excuse :~)
Lovely - that mix of wind instruments works beautifully
Lovely sound, kirk.
Lovely intro - reminds me of The Fleetwoods.
Makes me want to go play TombRaider! :~)
Thanks guys and gal(s). And thanks for keeping it in perspective, moschell. I'll see what I can do. Time is short tho' so it might have to grow it's own wings.
I'm glad somebody is taking this thing seriously!
Intriguing track. Lovely mix, Scot - Wow! I love the way it keeps coming round - Great.
Lovely. I think the vocal could come up a small bit
Love it! The title made me click and I wasn't disappointed - calming and charming, mournful and free!
Yeah this works for me too. Great while I'm working - it's really nice to concentrate to this.
I thought that was a real Kora for a while there. Nicely done!
That's a lovely song. Heartfelt. (unless you're making it all up??)
Another great pastiche. Put it on the bread indeed.
LMAO. :~)
Nailed it! lovely gentle groove.
Yes! Great version of a great song.
Instant fave over here on the Hill.
