Song about a girlfriend who's a nymphomaniac and feels forgiven when shes horny but as soon as she cools down reality kicks in.

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.

1.Afsluitdijk ...is a Dutch word and it's the name of the dam/road going from the province Friesland to North-Holland (and Amsterdam) The lyrics are about a 15-year old boy who feels so trapped in the boring Frisian town he's living in that he…

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 It's been a while since I've seen the devil It's a common mistake to think that I'm a sweet and gentle soul but give me a chance to change your mind Cause you have never seen me like…

"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 warming the old dog's face The savory smell from a wood burning stove holds you while you awake Brew some tea while others emerge…

Lyrics: Slow days start to shape my mind into a feedback of negative thoughts that undermine my efforts to get rid of 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 No one told me to watch my back Now it seems I've gone off the track It wasn't that hard to do It caught me by…

Lyrics: I was walking through the square when I heard the towers fell from a stranger passing by and they caught it live couldn't believe my eyes And we talked a lot about what it meant to be a free society and our resiliency but we…

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. My first foray into multi-tracking vocals, with mixed results. I like the effect, but I just had realized I can sing about half way…

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! One of the strange harmonics is due to a…

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…

There was an entirely separate piece under this name, nearly finished two days before the 09 RPM challenge finished, but while taking a break before getting ready to do the final mix this version came to me in the shower. Sadly, the towel wiped…

Spoiler here: This song ends on a down note, but not to despair. The sequel to this disk starts right where this one fades off and will be titled "...Not Forgotten". This song was done in a way that implies a live show, like a few of the other…

Love Song

Brokenheart song but you got to go on!

About Who I am!

A well of thoughts continues, but who is it dreaming in the white room? Midnight has drifted away, and we're headed towards the dawn of the next day.
