So-named because it was a last minute addition to the album. I wish I could remember what effects I put on the accordion track to make it almost sound more like a synthesized sitar.

I'm proud to say this is one of the weirdest songs I've ever done. I got some more use out of the beer bottle here, this time hitting it with a pencil instead of blowing on it.

based on the "clique" project first introduced in a long lost forum post on the RPM Challenge forums, the rules were to record a track that was in relation/response to the previous track before it. performers were: jazzsequence, Pugilistas, The…

the method was to record a percussive track (or not) at 110 bpm. it was not required that your track be percussive, but if it was, it needed to be 110 bpm. participants included jazzsequence, Pugilistas and project was orchestrated by The Chaos…

Gothic-Doom metal from Russia, all the tracks in this album are instrumental.

A blues number made using magix easy listening loops with Ardour software on Linux. This needs a lyric in the middle, but has instead been peppered here with almost random acoustic guitar jazz riffs. Had to use Audacity to take a chunk of the…

My first attempt at doing a songfight (songfight.org). Though I've known what the title was for a week+, I finally decided to write the thing the night before it was due. PROCRASTINATORS REPRESENT!

This composition is a remix/reincarnation of a [previous tune](http://alonetone.com/gcd/tracks/seven-flavors-of-milk) I wrote a while back. I wasn't ever quite satisfied with it and had neglected to incorporate a nifty additional bit of melodic…

Written by Daniel Johnston.

I know, you think I've completely lost it. This is actually a cover tune. Originally done by Wall of Voodoo around 1979. I did it from memory and ear, so I'm not sure if I got the notes or the Key right. It don't matter though, It was fun. I…

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

This is the centrepiece of the album; my self-confessed preferred track to RPM HQ. Powerful vocals by Jen Gibbons and heavy beats supplied by Chris Thomas. The drum track was heavily overdriven to crispen it up and the kick was given a lot of…

Paper Girls is one of those tracks which I wrote based on my experiences that I hope others can relate to in their own way. Soft, breathy vocals courtesy of Anezka Piska.

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

I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.

We move miles away from Bristol trip-hop and take a trip to Paris. This Daft Punk-inspire piece really allowed me to lighten up a bit during the lonely production stages.

Anezka Piska on vocals.

Self-explanatory. Sorry if it breaks your speakers :)

The obligatory ambient piece. I really wanted to experiment with balancing the bass and treble; it seems to have worked quite well. Bonus marks if you can identify any of the samples.

Three weeks in the snow.

The vodka, ahhh. One of 3 that I recorded to a dimming flashlight during a power outage. One take into the Micro BR hole with some harmony and noodle overdubs. Vodka I want the vodka 'Cause I know it's gonna make me play better…

Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.

I was listening to Leonard Cohen a lot this winter, and these lyrics sort of came out from there...don't know what they really mean, i was more interested in trying to see if I could mimic Leonard's style, which of course I can't, but this was…

eeeek last minute songs still arriving ....

Anyone read Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr - my daughter lent it to me - teenage Faery novel about addiction - pretty creepy at times. This is the one act musical version. I wanted a 'deranged in our neighbourhood' kind of feel to it.

A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them. You've been managing expectations Consultations end in tears Even if you're optimistic…

Lorelei reaches her breaking point after years of abuse — via a failed attempt at an homage to Ennio Morricone (had he been Mexican).

Track 12 from "They Are Killers" ... originally to be #11, but I decided this was a better one to go out on.

lullaby featuring piano (but of course!) Notes: Today I learned how to add an insert effect to the master channel. The song was way quiet so it got boosted via a limiter. Hurray.

This is a bonus track as it didn't make the album For those of you who know my stuff - does this sound like it works? or is it too much like filler - the vocals are effected, there's a drum loop - the guitar is just chopped out of a jam - i…

I came up with the main bass riff on my electric bass, but after recording it I was unhappy with the tone, so I used a sampled upright bass. On top of that is a layer of doodling "lead guitar" (played on my bass), a dreamy semi-harsh organ sound…

Playing with drum and bass loops.

I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…
