recorded for the Japan benefit happening this weekend (right now) over at improvFriday. Stop by and help or just give a listen.
My father brought a koto back from Japan after WWII, I thought this might be a good time…
acapella vocal loop
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water turned to stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago
- Christina Rossetti 1872
Back to basics here. recorded with the Yeti mic.
Ramblin' round your city,ramblin' round your town
I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
My sweetheart and my parents I left in my old hometown…
existential dread has hit my soul
weigh me down like a lump of coal
or the monkey on my back burning fossil fuel
it's getting harder to keep cool
keep on acting like everything's fine
that dog in his burning house
crossing the line, break…
I agree with Jim .. very introspective lyrics like the beat poets .. beatnik kinda song or poem song. this is unlike any I have heard from you ... is there a part two .. ,, this stuff is good.

wild set of of introspective lyrics and surprise entry in the music mix Kav - somewhere between beat poetry and lo-fi hip hop! Well done and new turf for you!
A quick little tune written in appreciation of a small expression of contentedness.
I can see in that little smile
You're living for the moment
Every once in a little while I catch it
No one else could match it
You're more than meets the eye

What if Bo Peep were a bit of a b*tch? If I knew her when she was like that, I might write a song like this.
(c) 2012 T.A.Beckett
Hey, Bo.
Where did they all go?
Hey Bo.
What do you know?
Maybe I could help you
In your quest.
Maybe I could…
This was written at a time when things weren't going so well for me. This will be my last upload until after the RPM Challenge.
The jeans are worn but they're clean.
The shirt is frayed at the elbows.
The shoes are dull, lost their sheen…
And with this track, the album is finished. Except for the uber-track to encompass all tracks, which we'll release here as a single as soon as we write it. Enjoy!
One of two versions of Keith Landry's great song.
Listen to the original [here](http://alonetone.com/keithlandryacoustic/tracks/as-the-train-rolls-through)
It began as a poem, until two separate friends inquired randomly how the song sounded... I replied, "What song?" and they laughed... So I went back to the studio and this came out... Enjoy!

Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.

When I was a music major one of my friends had a family which ran a funeral home - a well paid profession seeing that they had several cars, maids and butlers - and spent a few nights there. (We tended to stay up to the early am debating…
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Beautiful soundscape on that acoustic and lovely playing. Reminds me of an English guitarist named Adrian Legge.
Something about this reminds me of Pillow of Winds by Pink Floyd. Something ethereal.
Nice! Like the old sound and feel :-]
Love it...
awesome,.. wow
Very good
Rock on brother. Sounds good! :)
This has such a nice ambience to it. Nice pickin' my friend!
Man you man that dobro sing!
Fantastic! :)
Good blues man! :)
Good one. Very dramatic!
Nice !!! For people crossing the Rio Grande, I reckon these lyrics are still relevant!
hot tune for a.m. :)
Super Regal!!! :)
Nice slide sounds from that 1937. :)
Deep in the echo chamber. :)
Great slide and echo sounds! :)

New to me. Great melody, Keith.
Nice dark ambient mash Roger.
CooL, ER. Ian Drury sings nursery rhymes!
Great octave guitar riff at 3 minutes.
Really nice. Need to check the rest of the album
I like em both!
Great vocal. Nice meditative drone. Like the video too.
Industrial edge to this one. And that fat ass bass!
Big drums and slide guitar. Love it.
Dayum. Seriously good soundtrack for something awesome.
Seriously? An electronic classical RPM album? This is great!
Have you been listening to Miles' Kind of Blue? I like this.
Very cool, Kirk. More of that!
Thanks Richard, I'd like to hear your Jesu variation too!
One of the most interesting things I've heard here in a while. Like how it starts out slow and whips into a frenzy.
Nice spooky texture. I interviewed for a job at a funeral home once but opted for the hospital across the street.
Hah! Toldja!
Been browsing the (many!) tracks on your album and like this one. I love my Synthstation/iPhone/iPod/music apps!
Yaya! Chapman stick on alonetone! And so well played too.
Nice stuff! Trey Gunn comes to mind.
