Faith is assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
When Faith goes to the market, it always takes a basket.
The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith and the beginning of faith is the end of anxiety. [George Mueller…

Brilliant song! Love the complex patterns and also the "drone" soundscape in the background (yes, I would guess it is done with a modular synth, but I know you do not use that :-))

"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…

It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…

Man, i need to go back through all your collabs now...:) This is yet another great track. I think your kids had the right idea, it fits perfect with the music man!
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
"Afoxe" is a rhythm played by carnival groups from Bahia in Northeastern Brazil. It is named after an instrument that is traditionally used to play this pattern: an afoxe is a beaded gourd; aka "shekere". In this rendition, I replaced the shaker…

Guitar/Vocals: Liam Sanders
Percussion: Norm
A song I wrote about feeling undervalued, with percussion from the wonderful Norm.
Lyrics:
I should be more than a Sunday afternoon watching awful films.
I should be more than the shirt you…
No doubt you have heard parts of this before.
Guys - if I could play like this I would not be making a living as a chemist! This is a midi file I ran through pianoteq - I put this together in an hour this morning and I wanted to share before…
I couldn't talk for a while afterwards and I felt like a moron after listening to my vocals, but it had to be done :) So no laffin'!
Our attempt to be on the roof of Abbey Road Studios if only for a moment!
The Lineup:
Guitars: gtalfsen
Piano…
I had some fun this afternoon with a bluesy tune - and ran out of time for singing and my vocals are not good - wanna try?
I need to remember to tune my guitars down when I want to sing - that would make my life easier.
The guitar, bass and trap-set are working well together on this. I like it! If that's not enough to make her stay, you are better off without her.
Didn't I already add percussion to this? Yep - that's definately my head banging against the wall in the back-ground.
drip by drip..
I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…
The emerald green essence turns to the color of a Monarch’s chrysalis and the dripping sugar swirls into a gentle cloud. As your guitar carries me away, I smile and turn to the nonchalant fairy sitting next to me, who hands me a rather large bottle rocket.
Found this track from 1998 - I'm on a Time kick I guess...
Time waits for no one
We are all adrift
Finding ourselves in space
All Lost
Where is my Home?
Where is my Home?
Where is my Home?
Where is my Home?
Time waits for no…
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
Stealin' Pumpkins off the vine...
Such good fun I do it all the time.
Single Gon Bops conga track miced for heavy bass. And 2 tracks of cow bell, of course.
4/4 200bpm
@Richard: Guilty as charged. But what happens on AloneTone stays on AloneTone. We're glad you are here!
@Sis: All of my beats are grabbable. That's what they're here for... I'm happy to steal a pumpkin for you any time. My patterns are alot like pumpkins: you don't have to ask - just grab one and run.
I thought you guys may be ready for a straight forward 4/4 pattern to play with instead another of my rhythmically esoteric patterns.
I wonder how many days a month they would let me get away with going in there and jamming for awhile? "Hey! Would you guys mind holding off on the over-head customer service announcements? I'm recording here!!"
Brilliant!
I'm usually asked to leave Sam Ashe after a couple hours of playing on all of their cool percussion toys. Surprisingly, some folks don't have an appreciation for extended drum solos... and some might even be inclined to give you a nasty look if you just laugh when they ask you to stop. Note to self: save the gong trials for the last.

Brilliant song! Love the complex patterns and also the "drone" soundscape in the background (yes, I would guess it is done with a modular synth, but I know you do not use that :-))

Not sure if I should be wiggling about like this, hey why not!
Slick-ster deluxe. Very colorful.
This is excellent, really something to listen to closely.

I like the drum work that you have added to this. "We speak in different time signatures" = brilliant!
I have adored this song since I first heard it over a year ago. It's great to have you on Alonetone, Liam!
Listened to the entire thing this morning. Wonderful! Production comments?
Rocks! I'd love to see you guys live. How do I get tickets?
Your harmonies are always amazing! Thanks!
I still adore this.

Thanks for loading my cabinets up with such tasty awesomeness!
Yep, Byrne-ish indeed!
Awesome! Your mom must be proud!

Are you playing the dig on this one by any chance?

Yes! One of your best yet. Awesome is the correct word.
Ha! This is just what I had in mind for this pattern... and delivered most excellently by a real life surfer: perfect!
Sweeeet!
whoops! Forgot to log in for that last comment...
Hey, isn't that George Burns?
