Metallica cover by bddtmm. I perform all strings and vocals, I built the drum pattern on my drum machine. Hope you enjoy it.

Playing with some melodies over a piece for a video game.

This is a tune that's been on the back burner for a bit. I was looking to get a dark Ultravox kind of sound. Anyone feel like puttin' on their Midge Ure hat??? Anyway, these aren't the droids your looking for. Move along..............Move along.

Hi - thought I'd throw up an older piece today while I have time (doing work at the new house later). This is an improvisation with my Fender Mustang / Roland GR-20 combination retuned on the fly to 9 notes per octave "Sorog" tuning. I think…

One of our early collaborations. From Norm: Percussion note: the pattern used in this song is "Djesse Muloumbo", 240bpm.

(Bowers, Rainbowtruth) from the LP "Over the Counter and Through the Woods" circa 1997. Barnett: Lead vocal/guitar Osborne: Drums/backing vocal Bowers: Bass/spoken vocal Duff: Guitar One of my favorites. Don't be fooled, the sampled snare…

Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul. Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez. Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along. Enjoy..... filled…

do you: know how beautiful you are in that precious, precious twilight, wisps of hair floating around your face like a brunette halo, cheeks suffused with a delicate blush - because I took the time to touch your heart. When I looked into those…

Lyrics The Good Lifeless has Become Boundless such that it is written, went where and windly with pentacles of pie like know our way down the screem when we find what it is that can been and be we of their 2 tracks of hobnox…

I love you. And I'm watching you... :) All one take into the Boss MicroBR hole and cleaned up a little. I'm the red headed stepchild of recording... Love You Some people want to know you Wanna put their arms around you Buy you a drink…

Let's try that again!

My mom is 91 and still holding on. The people that help her make it thru each day have learned that there is no sense in arguing with her about who they are or when it is...thus the song. MAMA HAS A TIME MACHINE key - Em Mama has a…

This is what you get when 2 middle aged guys write music!

This is an improvisation around a few chords I found when experimenting with two simultaneous tunings on my Fender Mustang run through the GR-20 retuned to Arabic 17 note Pythagorean tuning and also as-is through my DoD FX-7 The way this…

Starting out as a simple and awe inspiring invention, progressing to a more chaotic and demanding machine driven future. - people becoming enslaved to these devices. Feeding the machine. Phone samples were recorded from the output jack of my…

Listent for different laughs - from giggles to guffaws - in the different string sections, working together (hopefully!). It's a room of higher-society hopefuls, laughing at each other's jokes, and I see one woman, powdered hair, large, sweeping…

Many thanks to Kirk Lynch, a real gentleman and a pleasure to jam with. His tracks are the heart of this tune. Lyrics: I have a a pain deep in my Chest I can’t Breathe as I Light my cigarette Oh my head, Woe is me Oh my head, Woe is me But…

I think this is the first song that I've posted here under Mannequin Races that actually has a guitar in it. You can't really tell that it's a guitar but it's in there (middle section around the 1:50 mark). The guitar is heavily modulated but…

well I thiiink it was one of the maaaany times in which we would go down to the pMundo beach by the river build a fire, burn one (a couple) down and jam out loud, where I came up with this beautiful chord progression. It was then about a week…

I recorded the vocals on this about 14 years ago. An amazing pianist friend of mine from Europe, G.Longabardi, played the piano. Jonathan Sacks from California flew to Texas to co-write the music. If you're out there somewhere Jonathan, contact…

One day my husband was describing someone as a floosie galore. First I cracked up; then I wrote this song. Do you think I have to share royalties with him? :) I recorded all the vocal parts on this several years ago at Boyd Recording Studio…

I wrote and recorded this song about five years ago. All vocals are mine. I would like to redo this song and change a few of the lyrics...but here it is in its current incarnation.

I call those harmonies at the end, my chipmunk voices....which, by the way, is the best part of this song. This work was done at January Sound in about 1981. Yikes! That's a long time ago.

Is everything fine?

A little scratch track from a few months ago. A song about the trials and tribulations of being 11 years old. Watching Six Million Dollar Man, dodging bullies and pretending our bicycles were Harleys. I was at a friends house and saw a little…

3rd of my 2007 RPM cd,, one more to go!

Written and Recorded April 18, 2010 Some people accidentally delete tracks...I accidentally kept this one :) Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGAD, Capo III), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, Audacity.

Funny how it's generally the songs that I spend the most time on, where I hardly write any story. So I'll just briefly say this is the [songfight.org](http://songfight.org) song that I hadn't even intended to write.

and cone gongs, bass marimba, hand drums.

I'm not sure if I'm happy with how the mastering came out but I figured it's time to let this one fly and get some feedback on it. I recorded the 'robot' voice using Audio Hijack Pro to record my Apple's system voice and then added some effects…

A rocking blues song about walking away from it all. The sax is from my GR-20 guitar synth. A few smoking guitar solos for fun.

Of all the days I had to get up super early, it happened to fall on the first day of spring. Also known as (fingers crossed) the worst day of spring. I spent part of the early morning digging my car out from underneath the ice and snow. Later…

This is our summer fun jam. We wrote it in February, but that's just testament to our amazing imagination.

Of the whole album, this is the track I had most fun making. The instrumentation consists of accordion, beer bottle, work desk, toy keyboard, whistling, and scissors.

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.

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

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.
