A cover of Iron Angel Forge's song from his 2009 RPM Challenge album, Not Forsaken. He is here at alonetone under the name IronAngel.
I haven't told him yet, though, so it's a surprise ;~)
this is the slightly sparkly version of my version of Moschell's "Boxes and Strings" from his 'Circus of Freaks and Fools' RPM Challenge CD. I recorded it as a video last night and redid it in the studio (unfinished sauna) today.
Written today.
recorded on an iMac with the internal mic and no headphones (!) so it's probably going to be muddy as hell, but that feels about right for now.
LYRIC:
Fill up the glass, Bartender
Ply your art
Quench the fire in here, now…
gotta love a good blues tune!
PS. thanks for the comment on Dubadadidabadu - yeah, the volume on the vocal is way too low - but i never got around to fixing it. The vocal (and a few other choice parts) are actually the work of another recent alonetoner, K. Scot Sparks.

This was the first time I'd fired up my telecaster and amp for a recording and it felt like sitting in Sun Studios or something. Amazing sound after playing just acoustic instruments for a year. It's the first take and I loved it!

A grief song. You know this place. If you don't then move on while you still can. Seriously. Don't click ..
This is a tidied up version, I managed to get rid of some of th noise and rebalance the vocals 18/3/09
Damn. The intro gtr, it's tone, what a great sound. It sounds like an old recording. I like how you left the ambient noise with it. What a great recording.

I had no idea myself - I just got into this morning and started to get the feel of the song and the house was all quiet and then presto - it was done. Now I should get back outside and get the scrap into the trailer like I'm supposed to!

Holy Smokes! I had no idea... heh.
Great Job! It sounds far better than my quick take still dripping from the shower did. Your guitar lines are much prettier as well!
Thanks Gumbo!

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!
Comments on Gumbo's stuff

Hey this is great! I still can't believe the lyrics - great entertainment.

I can dig it. This reminds of so many things. Keep producing.
Very cool. Somebody been to the crossroads.
... cool to listen !
Like it.
You gotta watch that devil. He pops up in all the really catchy numbers. :-)

This is a great song. I like the blend of instruments and the lyrics are brilliant. Great tune Gumbo.
*holds lighter in the air*
Cheers!! I want to stay:)

A dreamy cover of campfire loveliness. Well played!
Lovely song, enjoyed the lyrics.
Comments made by Gumbo
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.
