dark and bass

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…

This is the audio version of my blacksmithing lesson from http://ironangelforge.blogspot.com/ This lesson is Blacksmithing Basics - Absolute Basics. It covers terms and the most basic tools in a quick overview, so that students of the craft…

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.

This evening I couldn't get any satisfaction, so I struck out in to new territory, whacked a load of reverb and echo on everything and set off. This is what I found.

Some friends throw other friends going away parties. Songwriting friends say "hey, what a great idea for a song." Tech notes: I've been losing my voice today and ended up having to go back and do retakes to try to get as close to on-pitch as…

A song about the conflict of apathy.

Embrace the truth in life.

Another written-recorded-mixed-in-15 track.

An old song from a lazy Sunday, originally written for a certain musical and biological brother on his birthday.

Very, very rough sketch (no words, just 'woahs') of a title track.

Duke Mule - Two Teller ( Demo)

Let us celebrate our failures and our successes! I submit my failure here for consideration. I actually want to do something more with this just because it's a lot darker than I usually write. Unfortunately, it never turned into something musical…

Came up with this while dialing in my new amp. It's just a jam sort of based on the main taking care of business riff.

Another experiment. The name comes from the fact that I was in the woods; not because I was really concerned about making woodsy sounds... Thanks again to glu and Chris McGrath for opening my eyes to some different Live tricks...

Some experimentation that started with sandbags saying that he was looking for a wood sound. I responded with marimba plus monster reverb... and I quickly noodled together an ambient thing. I wondered aloud whether I was done or should continue…

Yes, it is obvious the choir is composed of mildly skilled amateurs, but I like this song very much. And the first thing I'll do when I get a editing tool is cut off the applause at the end, too lengthy because it was an encore.

The 3rd song I ever really wrote. Someday I'll record the vocals to it and then we can all laugh together.

You know those people who like to break out the family photos or something of that sort with which to bore their guests? This is my version of that. Most of what makes this song special to me is for all the same reasons that you won't share…

This song has everything. Love, betrayal, gunfights, hold ups, prison break outs and whiskey.

A song about immigration. This song has nearly reached national anthem status in Ireland.

(...featuring Reese Richardson [guitfiddle], Becky Beighly [lyric], Chris Golinski [drums], Eric Evans [bass], and KSS [trumpet/vocal/engineering].)

When I tweeted about maybe doing an Irish rap tonight, I wasn’t actually serious (though it has been on my todo list for a few years). But I took a walk, and the idea of going for it stuck in my head. So I started developing it on the walk and…

Originally this piece was written for a guitar. But I love my R3 so much! I'm playing with it. So this piece is just an electronic version. As always, all sound patches were programmed by me.
