This is a re-do of "Up on the hill" done the conventional way. I wrote the words 1st.
This is my 1st attempt at using Logic Express. I should learn most of the basics by spring. :)
The old version has been posted here This new version has Drums…
I always liked this traditional song based on the old folk tune, 'Rueben's Train'. so I decided to give a go. It was recorded a couple of years ago As usual more time spent mixing than recording.
At the time I was suffering from some sort of bug…
This is a newer version of Summer Nights from what I posted on Thanksgiving day. I didn't like the previous version. This is a much cleaner version This song is one I wrote quite a while back. I didn't like the melody so I changed it. Easier…
White Light was written in June along with 10 other "Off the cuff" tunes. Just before the great flood in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Our house was flooded and slowly being rebuilt. This is 4th of the 10 to be recorded.
I had this old song sitting around and decided to re-do it. The chorus used to be slightly different.
The drums are from "Drummer" and the song is played using "Pointless Picks" Recorded in "Garage Band" and Mastered in "Tracktion."

Thanks Bethan. Yes it was our first Thanksgiving back home. It's great to be back!
I appreciate your opinion re: this tune. Your input is very valuable to me. As I listen to both versions I see what you mean.
I should have fixed the mix of the first one rather than redo the song. By doing version 2 however I did learn a valuable lesson. When I recorded the two guitar parts (in stereo) I panned them just slightly to either side. This simple step opened the middle for the vocal and made each part distinct. An obvious thing but before I had assumed that having them in the middle because they were stereo would be ok. Not so. I should have remixed the original this way to see if it would help that mix. I'll bet it would.

This must have been the first "Thanksgiving" for you and your family, in the house since the flood? Hope you all had a good one.
I hope you don't mind but I prefer the other version you did. Mind you, I like this very much as well. Cheers Bethan

This song has sat around for quite awhile with a different melody. While the old melody was alright I thought it was too sappy. So I changed it.
I don't care for this recording, I think it's too busy. It's one of those things that get out of hand…

the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
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…
A coop between me and another alonetoner and a Chill productions member, Captain Kirk. Original melodic idea and lyrics by me, guitar, piano, final mix, final composition and mastering by Kirk and the beautiful singing is done by his wife…
A morning storm recorded in the courtyard and a musical motif written in the evening. combined time working-- 45 minutes, interrupted by a phone call from the parents to see if I was still alive.
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 ;~)
Hey! Thanks for the visit!
Doug
I'm feeling new.
I'm seeing you.
I know right from my soul.
I don't need malady, baby, in my heart.
Rolling around.
Rolling ground, moving around the bend.
Is it true?
I'm in this mood.
It's coming from my…
their aren't many things that take "it puts me to sleep" as a complement. i think this song takes it wonderfully.
thanks jason for making music and letting me give it a try.
1st of 10 "Off the cuff" songs I wrote just before the great flood.
I haven't really had a chance to work on any but this one. This is different than the rest of them. All I did was turn on a drum machine and played and sang what ever popped into…
i think this is fairly self-explanitory...it was inspired by a line in The Brothers Karamazov, which went on to examining myself and my tendencies as a sinner.
A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.
It's a ghost story. So go get your cocoa now!
And a Murder ballad and a love story (but aren't they all).
Old Conor Higgins…
For my friend and coworker, because he certainly deserves it.
This song is friends with [song for themcgruff](http://alonetone.com/sudara/tracks/song-for-themcgruff)
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…
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…
Another of the three songfight inspired titles. Painted Tense (the title) actually came from a band name generator website. I thought it might make a good song title so I submitted it to the RPM HQ person doing the name-from-a-hat picking. I would…

Lovely, arm swaying song. Singing along with it already!
I love this song...I feel I hopped a train and am sitting in a boxcar listening...great track.
Good song Gilbert, nice.

I like it!

A master no doubt!
Glorious Music indeed!
Great stuff here! Love those pipes.
Very nice! Beautiful!!
great capture of the storm and appropriate muse for the occasion.
lush and beautiful! 30 min to upload? Fantastic!
Very funny Bethan! Sorry someone sneaked in before you but thanks for asking.
Great cover. Love it Stu.
I dig the loose style!!
Nice tune! I like the way it changes half way through. I would try to do the spacial thing all the way through.
Thanks Johnny, glad you liked it.
very nice! I like the minimalist treatment. Not crazy 'bout all the lyrics but that's just personal opinion. Great mix and build-up.
Excellent!
You already know I really like this!
Typical great stuff by Mr Gumbo
Very nice, clear and beautiful!!
Pine Away very nice. Some great stuff happening here.
Great voice and production.
Stu. Great song! Wahoo!!!
Gary I like your song and the only I would change would be to mellow out the vocal track. It's a bit loud in the mix. Otherwise great j0b
