lots of left and right stereo, lots of back and forth of right and wrong. my conscience is clear.

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…

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.

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

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…

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

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

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

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…

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!

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.

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…

The stars leaned down to whisper

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.

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).

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…

Obviously inspired by Steve Reich (in the afternoon). The song would have been longer, but a nasty hard disk failure took out the original wavs. An alternative title could be Techno-dog Eats Homework.

This one was originally slated for the RPM, but I never got to it. I put together this layout one day, and it hasn't progressed since then, but vocals are coming. Does anyone have Tom Waits' phone number?
Uploaded
This is one of the first recordings I made that I was genuinely happy about and satisfied with. Like all my recordings, there's definitely stuff I'd change about it (namely the drums and drum tones) but I love the composition itself.
Uploaded
I wrote this one years ago but didn't record it until recently. The piano notes in the middle are probably my favorite notes in all my songs.
Uploaded
I wrote this song using a looping pedal. Pretty fun song to play. Maybe one day I'll revisit and elaborate on it a bit.
Uploaded
A light, kind of bouncy jam. Lots of production mistakes but still enjoyable.

I wanted to write an electronica type song, and I came up with this organ riff and took it from there. I really like the interplay between the bass, organ, and strings during the chorus. One of my favorites.
Uploaded
I like the way this song builds and goes on a journey.

This is probably my favorite song of mine. Somewhat long, but I think it flows real well and builds in each section.

I really like the guitar interplay in this song. And I love the riff at the end.

I have many musical influences, one of which is that thick Brian Wilson / Beach Boys harmony. While my songwriting is seldom as sunlit and carefree as his, this still should be considered a respectful homage.
