I wrote this on the fly. Nothing fancy, just a mellow song for my wife.

The first track from our 2008 RPM album. Didn't make the cut for the final album, so you get to enjoy it here!

This is just the beginning on this song. We haven't put the bridge in yet, it was a jam between Steve and I (Steve played that awesome Sax track, and about three guitar parts, organ..)It was just too much fun, but still... undone.

Second of the songs with a movie clip from 1955.

Simple little song. My view on how love really falls apart. Last verse is in my opinion an add-on. I wrote it after the rest, at the behest of someone who thought it was too "un-hopeful". It may have been a goood thing.

This is probably to personal, to raw to put here, but I've been listening to some pretty courageous stuff here in alonetone. This is more of an occurence, a onetime performance, more of a memorial, than a recording. My dad had died recently, I…

At the beginning of a Himitsu jam session we had an impromptu trio of guitar, theremin, and electronic drums doing a snippet of this classic theme.

Himitsu jam. Title says it all. Visting hard rock guitarist sitting in this session.

Himitsu jam session. This little piece reminds me of driving through small towns in Mexico on Sunday morning, with the light just pinking the horizon, and the entire towns' populace heading to mass to the sound of the church bells.

A piece from a Himitsu session.

Allelujiah-This was supposed to be a completely different song, but this one just wrote itself instead. It’s almost all first take, except for the bass, which took a while to get straight so that it wouldn’t overwhelm the song. It has this tone…

Named after a painting which was named after a lovely little daily ritual I share with my best friend.

Late night, last piece from a Himitsu session. Very laid back. All electronic. Recorded on minidisc and rescued later from a random hard drive.

Playing with reverberation and stretching, part of a larger ambient piece for the RPM2010 challenge. It uses heavilly effected and modified samples and VST Synplant.

"You gotta put your pencil to the paper. Don't bother with the intricate chords. Hell it doesn't matter if the damned thing doesn't rhyme. Write it down. Run it through. Make some noise." These were actually the first words I wrote when…

In 1979, my father came home from the record store with an album that forever changed my life, Pete Seeger's Circles & Seasons. Before I knew Pete to be the blacklisted folk icon that had been on the humanitarian side of every fight since…

From the Himitsu jam sessions. Electronic punk jazz or almost anything else. A group of 3 to 5 musicians meeting weekly to just play. All improvisation, no planning or themes, just what you bring. Heavy use of Kaos Pad and vocoders, as a…

Experimentation with taking quiet sounds and compressing the hell out of them. Drum fills courtesy of Chris Thomas.

The album kicks off with one of the gritter, darker songs. The amazing, gravely voice you hear is that of Linda Harrison.

There are a bunch of bass tracks going on here. Headphones help pick out what's going on. This one came to me leaving Taos on the drive back to Phoenix, coming down out of the canyon. I suddenly became conscious of a disturbing dream from the…

"There's a dude from Indiana rockin' real hard to Carlos Santana!" If you've ever been to Indiana, you'll know where this came from.

Inspired by the book Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks. An earworm (or brainworm as Sacks espouses) is that catchy melody that sticks in your brain that you just can't shake.

The lyrics continue the theme of the previous track, if you care about that sort of thing.

these 2 "new" songs are a test to see if I now have what I need to successfully upload material. These 2 songs were recorded 20 years ago on a Tascam 4-track. The band is the Riptiles.

With this special offer, you, too, can be the bomb.

Sooner or later, you just don't care.

My attempt at being the male version of Sister Savage. I apologize in advance if you think it sucks. As requested, the lyrics... "She" Lyrics and Music by Daniel Parkhill She's ripped the fabric of my world with harsh intention. She…

If you're a businessman or a politician, mosh to this song.

The anthem of my musical career. I'm joking. I hope.
