Another song in the works that I have never been happy with. Now that Mr. Tolar has me feeding raw meat to the Ibanez, this is the result. So, it's either a rocker, or I'm off my rocker! Lyrics: It was yesterday when she said she's leaving…

"As we grow up, we always carry our inner child with us. Wonder and curiosity... there are so many things the child sees. However, this is a view from above. We are now adults with good and bad experiences of life, looking inward. It is time…

A quickie "throwaway" idea to be developed another time. Maybe you'd like to try? 90bpm, Cmin

I've been listening to the output of my *Reichenbach* Reaktor ensemble all morning as it loops and phase shifts a recording of Erik Satie's solo piano piece Gnossiennes-1 I find it to be quite beautiful and entrancing and I decided to render…

I read about the technique, used by Steve Reich, of playing multiple copies of the same audio at different speed to create phase differences. I decided to do a little experiment and built myself a Reaktor ensemble using 3 granular sampler units…

This is a remix of my earlier track [Metaphysical Beat 2](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/metaphysical-beat-2). In fact it's the 4th remix but the first one I'm really happy with. I even found myself trying to dance along to this when I…

Also known as Cooking With Condiments! A snack. Nothing much of substance in the cupboards or fridge, but doesn't mean you should go without eating.

I Am A Spiritual Being by Mike Woosley - It's been said that we aren't human beings on this planet having a spiritual experience; rather, we're spiritual beings having a human experience on this plane of existence. Can you dig it? All vocals…

title is self-explanatory, past tense however. i really wanted a song that had the flow, emotional intensity and unpredictability of an ocean. perhaps that's a bit cliche. done over the period of two months in a little dark room with an…

Very systematic, but still one of my favorites. What started as a practice in progression ended with something I'm quite happy with.

A very rough demo. Programmed the drum kit live in one cut. I messed up on the guitar part at one point too. Oh well.

story: wings of chaos, wings of beauty. h.g. wells awakens from cyber-sleep in the "Chrysalis". the steam-driven moth-ship is now traveling slowly across an immense nebula. the engine's motoric rhythm generates the soundtrack to the view from…

A long meditation/wank. This weeks guitar lesson we started looking at melodic minor modes. I went home and started practicing scales. Wasn't long before I got stuck on Dorian flat 2. So I fired up the looper and recorded a session. Funny…

On The Road Again by Willie Nelson - Recorded as a demo to be presented to night club owners to score gigs. Generally, a verse and chorus with maybe a short instrumental, just to give the overall flavor of the song. All 3 vocals are by Mike Woosley…

Today I gave a quickie demo of Live to my guitar instructor. I started with an empty set and threw some crap at the wall just to show him one of the work flows. Later, when I brought the thing home I couldn't leave well enough alone and started…

From Green Tea

A song written for my dear old friend, Kirk Lynch, who I've known for almost 20 years. For those who don't know, Kirk and I live less than an hour apart, but I swear it's been five years since we've seen each other in person, which just ain't…

Left over junk from RPM 2009

Another guitar loop from 2008. Proof I can write "happy" music :)

NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great! this draft is continuously replaced with newer versions. check back, please! (oh yeah…

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

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…

Embrace the truth in life.

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

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.

Alright, so it turns out that I lied. THIS song is actually #60 of 2009. I forgot about how I turned the instrumental "lucid traum" into the spoken word 'drama' "wake me up" for a class project. (http://yelyah.com/music/song/lucid-traum…

Da King Gold Lion speaks On Love... Nuff Said. From BeeOne's Underground Debut "In My Opinion". Written, Performed and Produced by BeeOne for A BlackMan's Ent./HoodBizne$$ Music Group

Another romance for piano and small orchestra

I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this one. I enjoyed making the beats and think that part came out pretty good but everything after that felt rather haphazard and didn't feel right to me. I was close to abandoning the track…

I'm convinced that composing/recording daily is the best way to really find out if a DAW fits your workflow. And I think Ableton Live nailed its final nail in the coffin for me tonight. See, if I weren't writing so much, so quickly, I would be…
