First recording of a new idea... hopefully it will grow into something more. I just stuck the mic in the air and started going - so, sorry the sound quality is sub par.
The first version.
This is the first and only song I wrote on [arrsuarez](http://alonetone.com/arrsuarez)'s Christmas gift to me, a mbira that he lovingly crafted by hand.
 guitar part in the second half I used an ebow.
"
you stand a long time at the door
observe the lighting on the floor
you are not welcome anymore
no…
I love the ambiance of this track, puts my mind in a good place. I put it on loop and the ink just spills from my fingertips in to almost recognizable patterns.
I made this simple song to try out playing an acoustic guitar with an ebow. It works, but it's quite quiet. The movement of the fingers on the fretboard is louder than the sounds. I didn't use any effects on the guitar tracks.
I recorded my voice…
A Song About Trying....
-Lyrics-
Maybe we can find a place where we,
can be truly free my love.
And we’ll find this place alone.
Where our hearts are guided.
The road seems Never ending.
Souls Lost in the dark.
Your light becomes…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Song I wrote about 12 years ago. It took a death in the family to get it recorded and give it new life. All instrumentation, vocals and editing performed by me.
Thanks!
I think that was recorded direct in from my acoustic electric to my Behringer Xenyx 1222fx - the harp probably used a carvin condenser into that same mixer.
A collaboration that involved 5 musicians over several parts of the world. A crazy stalker tune - Has a soft/hard/soft format. Recorded with The Boss Micro BR(MBR), Mixed with Audacity and then mastered with the MBR.
More details in the Youtube…
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
done back in 2006, in my old dreary toronto apartment (i dislike toronto i think).
i don't really like it that much, too repetitive, but i need content up, and others have commented on their enjoyment of this particular song.
I took you seriously
I took it carefully
I didn't want to breathe too loudly
I walked around silently
I didn't say a word
Fear was there beside me
I know it sounds absurd
But so what?
So what.
I lived without money
I've lived without…

I love that the title has a period on the end. Almost makes it believable when it's below freezing outside. Beautiful sound. You've really captured the feeling here.
I love how this song ends, the overtones; very powerful.
