One from a year ago or so. Never was happy with the recording quality, but never got around to re recording it. My attempt at a kind of late 70's Phil Keaggy thing

A cover of the Raconteurs' track. Recorded December 31st, 2008. My cat runs into the mic about halfway through...sorry about that.

A cover of The Black Keys' track.

Recorded: December 31, 2008 Guitar: DADGAD (Capo V) (low D dropped to even lower G for bass on one part)

this is a song by my niece Clara. She's 4. the lalalala's are Noah's (6) contribution. Recorded Christmas day 2008. Happy New Year all alonetoners! glad to be here. t.

I painted myself into a musical corner while hacking around. Then I painted myself a way out...

well, i thought i'd kick start the idea. download it, add to it, repost it. simple.

The song came from the phrase May I be Worthy. As a christian it's a constant battle to feel worthy of the sacrifice that Jesus made for ME! I thinking of trying to do a chorus for it, but it be fine just the way it is. Suggestions are of course…

My brother Tomas recorded our Niece Clara improvising this tune, and in light of the lyrics then asked any one to join in and add to it.

This show was about the various ways we feel grooves - or don't feel them - and the different kinds of grooves we feel in music. Composed for winter percussion - the indoor percussion equivalent of marching band, with a dash of theatrics.

This piece was about the various ways sound and shapes can be bent. Composed for winter percussion - the indoor percussion equivalent of marching band, with a dash of theatrics.

Started playing with a new toy. A plugin called BigSeq from AudioDamage and this came out. This is a rough mix that I'm not at all sure about. Suggestions welcome. I'll post an update when I've had some sleep.

red cowboy and hot burrito were recordings done for a friend of mine who wanted to check out his new (old) drum machine. Both drum parts are constructed from prerecorded beats (from presets or previous owner, I don't know) and have 4-5 bass tracks…

This contains a sample of a Studs Terkel story. My tribute to the great American voice.

More playing with BigSeq Thanks sandbags for the initial idea that started the thing; which was to run piano loops through BigSeq. Then slowing the tempo down to 26 I started adding some other textural things and ended up with this. Then some…

i mean i really want to just be with you alone forever, but baby, i got more lovin' to give.

i want to touch your music, probably on a saturday night, so you know, if you're free...

Great little snippet/idea will a killer tuba as the bass instrument.

The drums are kind of neurotic and I'm not really happy with the violin sound but it's a start.

This is another song snippet/idea that sort of sounds like it could be used as a theme song to something.

This is the beginning of a song that will be about the monkeys named Albert that all died during U.S. rocket missions.

Standing in the shower last summer one weekend when my family was out of town, missing them. It made me think about how empty life is without the ones I love most. Also worked in some imagery I've been toying with for a number of years--the river…

Based on the first lines of a Hindu spiritual song I've had stuck in my head for years, this song was included on the RPM 08 world music category compilation. World music--crazy! Wouldn't have expected that, but I'm honored that it was nominated…

Originally recorded by blues singer Walter Coleman in the 1930s. This is not me singing, it's a different vocalist

I wanna live in a house! Nothin' special...
