Just had to do it:)

written, recorded, and poorly mixed in one hour. Instrumentation: acoustic guitar, fretless bass, 2 tablas, tambourine, rattle, and human body for snapping, clapping, and vocals.

When in love.

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.

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…

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…

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…

an exploration of the ambient possibilities,of reversed guitar,with a dmin drone

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! The musical parts were recording using my Kurzweil SP3X…

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). Old Conor Higgins…

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 friend of mine recently talked about suicide, needless to say i was left kind of emotionaly everywhere so i funneled it onto a page.

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…

Jonathan Thomas on Faith With Friends

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 has been something that has been struggling to get out for a while. I finally feel comfortable enough playing it to have pressed record... Boring technical details: DADGAD tuning two improvised tracks, GT-10 Studio Acoustic Guitar preset…

This is the 2nd song of a concept trilogy about zombies.

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

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…

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... Frenetic fun. Boring technical details: I honestly can't remember much about it which to…

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…

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…

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).

New age

From my fruity loop days. Electronic piece.

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

New age piece.

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

From my fruity loops days. Electronic piece.

This is the fourth downloadable show from URY's collaboration with theyorker.co.uk's 'Comments' team! Hear us live every Sunday at 2pm at ury.york.ac.uk

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.

In my nightmares, I can see...you're coming for me.

When you tell me it's okay...won't you stay?
