Going through the various things I had kicking around before the RPM Challenge and before I upgraded to Live 8, I found this unfinished Live 7 thing...
Frenetic fun.
Boring technical details:
I honestly can't remember much about it which to…
Alternate title: Gratuitous Love Scene
Just hacking around with these chords; added some stuff and before I knew it I had one of those bits of cheesy music that accompanies those gratuitous sex scenes...
After an adventure in re-recording the entire song down a third, we came back to the original, tightened and tuned.
Always the self flagellating perfectionist, it still needs a bit more love. Always the pragmatist, it is probably done for now.
24 hour EP more than 24 hours late. I was going to title it "Perpetual Interruptions EP" but I went for something more positive. Due to weird bug in some part of my set up, there is a kick drum in only one side of the stereo for the first few…
24 hours of music making for 2008.
Yup. This is a "Gaiman variation" which means that I stopped at 24 hours and this is what I've got. Not 24 min, but it is a "Noble Failure"
You can see my 2007 album [here](http://alonetone.com/sudara…
Epic journey. Plenty weird. DIg it. I particularly like the Glass-ian opening in Time. And the bonus track comes to shake you out of the dream. Evil genius.
Here is my practice run, 1/12 of the 24hour album. 2 minutes of music in two hours. This track was fun to make. I started with the acoustic guitar, added the bass, then the beat. To get a particular sound that I had in mind, I did a little beat…
This is the first cover song I've ever really recorded in my 15 years of playing and recording.
The guitar and voice are each full continuous takes, I didn't want to do comping (copy and pasting), though the vocal harmony parts were done in…
one of the oldest songs MNCC's ever recorded. It's mostly bass and homemade drums plus a prerecorded beat. And lyrics about the consequences of forbidden love.
about a circus that self destructs and the damage left in it's wake. Yes, it's a weird and/or dark subject but as the lyrics are unintelligible it probably won't upset anybody.
I'm not quite sure where I was going with this. I love the Abaska Bong sound and was trying to pair it with something complementary. After going through some truly weird combinations I came up with this.
A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)

53XY!
I agree with what sandbags said before me. Its quite awesome :)
This is perfect Sunday morning music, ethereal, floaty, lovely.
:)
GluMMI makes me happy. This has such a great hook - the vocalisations are such a wonderful touch. Really works, guys.
damn i'm liking this man, this is good
hello e-bowed guitars, meet the didgeridoo and tabla!
I could get lost in this one all day, and the mix sounds even better in cans!
Yes! Very nice!
OOO, this is nice!
damn, this is touching. more of the same please!
aptly named. i love the 303 squelch. - @ahonoe
Lovely and ploppy!
I don't know what you've captured here, but it's out of this world powerful, emotive, and it digs deep. Wish I could fave it again.
This has a really good thud to it! Great synth sounds.
Okay, I'm inspired!
Wow, love the space in this and that meaty synth!
Very gratuitous, perfect.
Gives me images of someone gracefully falling up a very long flight or stairs.
Great forboding energy...another powerful track. You capture human insecurities and put them to cool beats.

Beauty. Is that some vocoder action I hear? Whatever it is, it's really cool.
This is really wonderful. I think that the tempi changes really add something special.
You know, I thought the technical difficulties were just artistic decisions. And good ones. Inspired.
You win.
too funny

A fabulous eclectic trick. You're all over the place man! It's awesome.
This is really awesome. I feel like killing myself now :-)
A true opus.
Very nice work (I've been a closet new-age fan for like 20 years, terribly sorry if the genre label offends).
Very well done!
Stunning.
Love it. But too short! Need my Boards of Canada fix.
Dude. Stunning. I wish Iron & Wine's CDs were recorded this well.
Love it!
Cool track. I'm really liking your vox processing.
Charming lunacy.
Man I love this stuff.
Sweetly played. Definitely not cheesy.
You had me at the piano intro. It just got better from there. The first piece of music I listened to today. What a great start to the day.
