middle of the day in a dark bar

in my head i am wondering in the desert

I started this one at the end of januari in preperation for RPM. I added lyrics and vocals in february. So it's kind of a bonustrack. Just another throwaway popsong with the awesome stylophone in full effect.

My Clique-contribution with some added ambientsound recorded from my window. This is partly the traditional filler-track but I quite like the ambientsound. If I do a record next year (I probably won't) it will most likely be just 35 minutes of…

Another attempt at a Carol Kaye-bassline, slightly more succesfull. I quite like how this turned out although it's kinda slick and not something I could really use in another context (it just sounds like I didn't make it myself which I quite like…

This started sounding quite Nick Caveish and at the same time I wanted to do something with Joe Meek; so it's a murderballad-variation on Johnny Remember me. There's stylophone and theremin in there. The theremin is quite effective at some points…

Trying out a Carol Kaye-inspired bassline here (not completely succesfull; gotta work on my timing some more) and again didn't manage to come up with lyrics. Espresso Martini is a really nice cocktail with coffee you can get at the club/bar where…

Another one without lyrics. The title was my workingtitle. And I just thought it was a funny title (I think Rage Against the Machine is kind of silly) I quite like some of the sounds on this one (it's a Poly 800 through an Electro Harmonix Big…

The most ambitious tune; about a singer that starts out in the late sixties and ends up in the oldies-circuit doing his last big hit from 1982 three times a night.The vocal is a bit low in the mix. I might upload a special mp3-mix for Alonetone…

The first casualty of my severe lyric-crisis this year. Could have been a good song. Is an OK-ish instrumental now.

The Dutch painter Mondrian was apparantly a fervent dancer to Boogie Woogie and that image stuck because he seems such a stiff guy otherwise. So I thought that would make a funny subject for a dance-tune. Normally I wouldn't make a song about…

Here the idea was that I was going to write from the viewpoint of someone who is paralyzed from the neck down and can through technology only watch other peoples life but not participate. It turned out a bit more general and ambiguous than that.

Lyrics:
I don't know what you want
when you treat me that way
I can't help being turned on
Is that what you want
Just to see what I would do
To see if I'm in love with you
I'm trying so hard
to sit here and ignore
the way that you…

Lyrics:
Pass me a handle of that old time tennessee

"Choices" by Nikki Giovanni
If I can't do
what I want to do
then my job is to not
do what I don't want
to do
It's not the same thing
but it's the best I can
do
If I can't have
what I want... then
my job is to want
what I've got…

Lyrics:
I'm not sleeping
I'm staring at the ceiling
My mind's a thousand miles away
I'm finding faces in the shapes
of plaster that was scraped on the ceiling
Killing time is not so bad
but when you're trapped inside your head…

Lyrics:
A lazy hound lying on the couch
sleeping the day away
The sunlight comes pushing through the curtains

Brew some tea while others emerge…

Slow days start to shape my mind

negative thoughts that undermine

impatience wasting all my time

Lyrics:
No one told me to watch my back
I was thinking 'bout what I lack
What's a boy supposed to do
Life has got me blue

Lyrics:

from a stranger passing by
and they caught it live

Pain is inspired by my bout with severe nerve damage in my lower back. As anyone who has ever had a good hurt can tell you, it gives you an internal feeling of chaos that often comes and goes in waves and spikes. The music follows this pattern…

The title is a reference to the rain in "Pain" and how once the pain is gone you feel like it's a new day.

A very raw take, inclusive of mistakes and the dog wagging his tail to play some extra parts for me. He seemed puzzled that I was singing to no one, so he assumed it must mean I was singing to him!

My second foray into multi-tracking my voice. Still a great deal to learn here, but I'm starting to figure this out.

A strange blend of slide guitar and synth, both new techniques for me this year. This was originally just a way to learn how the synths worked, and was never really intended to be used on the album, but the low synth line ended up catchy enough…

Originally, this was not to be the title track, but as the album evolved it became more and more obvious that this was the overall tone of the collection - to not forsake one's dreams, faith or music due to the world intervening. My first attempt…

A homage to the goth bands of the late 80's. Dark music with light lyrics and the first synth piece for the IA projects.

Another synth driven track, exploring the new found instrument. My usual style of singing behind the beat doesn't work as well here as I would have liked, but it may get redone soon. We shall see.
More positive lyrics over fairly dark music…
