A man's heart was once broken, but now, with love, it can finally be mended.
Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I've got a feeling that you want me
Your emotions are aglow
I must find out
I've got to know
I never thought I could love again
It's been so long…

Another catchy piece of synth music.
I did this piece some time ago. It was originally called "Virtual Music 4", as it was supposed to be part of a suite.

Based on the age-old concept that a person is born anew every seven years. It's technically meant in terms of physiology - you develop all new bones/muscle/fat in a seven year period. I kind of add a spiritual/alien abduction…

Electronic.
This is the instrumental version of a song that I never did record the vocal to. Someday.

The solo piano piece that got bastardized many years later and turned into "move your car".

Not really thrilled with this one, but it does mark the first that I've used a time signature other than 4/4 (combo of 7/4 and 4/4 in different places).

Another track dug out of mothballs...
This one probably got stuck under the weight of all the effects... cpu overloads, sound drop outs, the works.
Rendering it took a long time but it seems to have come out ok.
Someday, if I get a faster…

A track that I put on hold for the RPM Challenge.
Of course, now I can't really remember where I was going with it... but to have used it in the challenge would have been cheating.
What I do remember was that I had just discovered and fallen…

Going through the various things I had kicking around before the RPM Challenge and before I upgraded to Live 8, I found this unfinished Live 7 thing...

The stars leaned down to whisper
and fell out of the sky.
And darkness streaked with wonder
now pours into my eyes.
And though the night is warm,
cold waters move to fill
dark pools in rocky shorelines.
The sea is black and still.
So now I stand…

From today's one hour session:
acoustic guitar, fretless electric bass, tabla, tambourine, and the synthesque sound is the electric guitar played with a violin bow

This song is about the ones that do these things to themselves.

I am honored to be able to put words to the music of Skidoo and to say the mood he created with his music triggered something important to me.
One of my favorites tracks from Skidoo is "An elephant of truth". The first version of this song…

this is the first song i ever wrote it was at a time in my life when i first understood what it was like to loose a friend, though he only moved away i still feel like hes much more gone

This one is dedicated to a good friend of mine, based on some recent conversations we've had. I'm not quite happy with how it turned out, but if you think about it that just mirrors life and how your best intentions never turn out exactly how…

A rough demo of my latest song. It ends abruptly after 1:15, but you'll get the gist of it. Please let me know your thoughts!
Uploaded
this music is a reflection of my darker side, i wrote it when i first became a vegan and took mind to animal rights. i guess everyone has anger somewhere in them.
Uploaded
a friend of mine recently talked about suicide, needless to say i was left kind of emotionaly everywhere so i funneled it onto a page.

it was amy's wedding today, im still not sure how i feel these words reflect my lack of knowing, thats also why it sounds so terrible with my breathing and playing!

A joint we made by switching instruments in the band. All live except vocals (one take) and additional keys.

A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.
It's a ghost story. So go get your cocoa now!
And a Murder ballad and a love story (but aren't they all).

I'm learning to play piano and my teacher has given me 'Old Joe Clarkes Boogie' to play. For 2 weeks it has kicked my ass. But I'm getting to grips with it now and this is my revenge!

Well, this one is b***s to the wall rock and roll, gfox style. ;P
I just wanted to do this basic loud chunka-chunka riff with the thumping kick-drum. However, the refrain (this song has no chorus) was something that I really liked singing. For…

I worked on this one off and on through '05 and '06. I did numerous demos of it (just me and an acoustic) before finally recording it proper. Originally I intended it as a slower, more ethereal (read:reverby) piece, but it just wasn't cutting…

This song is one that got left on the cutting room floor back in early 2005. It's fun to play, but the drums are almost too mechanical (they're real) for my taste. I thought I would finally let it out of the attic, even though it doesn't have…

My first new song on Alonetone in over a year! A short, simple surf tune, nothing more.

A better mix. I pumped up the trumpet, bass and guitar. It was just annoyingly low.
Thanks again to Benny for the trumpet parts.

I made this song in a day. The vague simplistic lyrics are about a struggle between want and must.

I decided to focus by timeboxing the amount of time I spent on drums, bass and lead into 30 min sections based on the pomodoro technique. The idea was to spend 5 mins picking the sound for each part, then 25 mins making some loops with it to arrange…

Improved ringtone of the improved version of my popular Ferriswheel track. Love Springsteen's Born to Run album? Good!

Minor tweaks to the original upload: Better balancing of volume level, subtle changes to dynamics of the piano chords, and the addition of a very low-key counter-melody line on the third go-round of the main verse.
Uploaded
I think I dislike this song, but it's been sitting in my bounce folder far too long and something about it still makes me play it from time to time. Maybe you will like it more than I do. the simple lyric is not meant to be interpreted literally…
