I like the atmosphere, but the source is loong gone (ca 1998)

A badly-tuned kalimba, a toy drum and a novelty stapler... Pop genius.

I don't have the source-files for this one, but I think it was made in 2004, probably in the winter

Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…

Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007

Again substituting a guitar for a drum kit but this time an acoustic. Structurally, a more straight-forward piece, sounding more like a band than some of the other Ca Va? Oui, Ca Va! songs.

If Fuck Buttons did pop...

Proof that a cheap electric guitar can be a substitute for a drum kit.

Corkage Fee!!!

I recently bought a monstrous old Emu keyboard sampler, and this is the result.

This is Steffan's mix of Requiem

A big instrumental in about 3 minutes. Imagine the last few miles of a very long road trip.

an old song (made with free synth/sampler/sequencer software AXS). gives you 1.43 to take a leak whilst in the middle of an album.

it's a bit slow. but meant to be.

literal English translation: 'it presses in my head', because of that feeling you sometimes have that something is pressing against the inside of your skull.

English title would be 'today it's a bit cold', literally. it's a story by a Dutch kid about what he did that day and related stuff.

as i sit and make music till late at night, i sometimes lose track of time, as the title demonstrates.

no comment.

this is one of my favourite songs. it's not as strange or complicated or whatever as most of my work, but it's just very nice.

'oprotmuziek' in Dutch, would probably translate as 'fuck-off music' in English. in other words, the kind of music you play when you'd like for people to go home, hence the title (and the music).

an apparently innocent children's song on cut-up piano, while at the same time posing a very deep philosophical question, that is, besides a question in general, also a question asked with respect to your reaction to the song: if you think it…

self-explanatory.

i was looking at the moon one night and made a song about how nice it looked.

because the stick in the other song was great-sounding and it is also a reference to a dog.

speaks for itself.

song was created on my birthday, 9th of august, 2008. so that's why.

because this music might not be as good for your mind as you (or i) believe it to be.

'Hond' is Dutch for 'Dog'. the song was inspired by my dog, which explains the title. it contains a vocal piece of proze (in Dutch) which i wrote about my dog (in the context of a larger story).

This song was made by two different piano samples (both from Sudara): 1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico. 2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…

I talked to the guy in charge of... well, everything but coding, I think... He gave me a lengthy description of the culture of where this piece is for, including pictures, which I was waiting on... The drums need to be fleshed out, but this is…

This is day 24 of my 24 day project. So that means it's over. And if you're reading this on alonetone, this is lucky track number 100. 24 "songs" in 24 days. Really, the only requirement was to produce a minute of music each day. I wish…

Demo Tracks for a release early next year

A reverse take (recorded live at a gig) of a couple of Pink Floyd covers. The amazing Bill Pohl on 2nd guitar. It came out sounding strangely symphonic.
