this was a hard song to play and sing... mostly because i was terribly hungover. oh yeah, and also it's horribly depressing.

just the begining to a unfinished song

Groovy Soca 2011

Gets a bit heavy!

This song is not for everyone but I like it because its a live recording with a single instrument using infinity delay FX. (I turned on the loop delay at :09 after the guitar was flat on the floor.) All the sounds are made with an acoustic bass…

Recorded in Sonoma after seeing Les Claypool perform at a small club in Sebastopol. Inspired by his awesomeness, I recorded this all day Nov 27th 2009 thanksgiving day. A cool blend from Electronica to Rockin' Primus vibes. Did I sound like…

Little piano ditty

a little demo I wrote and produced in 3 hours. I like it i hope you will too.

Cover of "Rocketeer" by far East Movement

A new song that I've been working on, still yet to be titled, but heres a live recording as part of the Winter Bridge Sessions (video to accompany on youtube). It was recorded on a bridge at night in the winter ... aka Winter Bridge Sessions…

A test track of sorts. I typically mix a track, bounce it out to my ipod and then go for a drive. The stereo in my truck is kind of boomy and if I get the bass wrong, I'll hear about it. This has been a matter of a certain amount of guesswork…

Sega MegaDrive, reverb.

work composed entirely in ableton live suite,using natural sound samples...

Piano written by Pneuman, which inspired the basic melody and the lyrics came at bedtime, originally with a bass line but left out here. Test it out on your whinging kids and let me know how well it works!

I did this last summer as I can hear a car go by my window. Anyway it's an old song by the great Hoagy Carmichael. I wanted to wait until I could redo the vocal part because I am not happy with it. It's just a scratch track and after I listened…

happy new year alonetone. woo 2099 RPM challenge here we come!

My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…

Performed live by Rainbowtruth @ Irish Brigade Fredricksburg, VA circa late 1990's. Barnett: Guitar/lead vocal Osborne: Drums/back-up vocal Duff: Guitar Bowers: Bass Slightly more aggressive than the original. Cool high-energy take w…

Wanted to wish all the AloneToners out there a special Christmas - even tho it is a bit late.

this goes along w/ the changing of songs...this version is more along the lines of the Demo Version...there was a Electronic Version of this song on "there's nothing like being alone..." along w/ the 'alternate version" (which is piano)..which…

this song is still in the works....i threw the lyrics together after messing around w/ the piano...the timing is off at parts....it still has a long long way to go.....

Found out at the last minute that Amy was scheduled to sing today in Church, so I wrote a new Christmas song last night. She learned most of it last night, but I kept obsessing over it and she had to learn the changes and a new verse this morning…

Demo of a new track.

This was recorded starting in March of 2010 so I could experiment with some new recording software, and it eventually evolved into what you're hearing. A basic surf tune inspired by, well, night surfing. I was going for a happy loneliness with…

Gary Thompson from the Music by Computer yahoo list (aka Johnny Pumphandle) remixed me version 2 of Sweeny's Agony - and blew me away - by toning down the volume he brought out a lot more soul in my opinion. I love it - and I hope you do too. Chris

lil' loop for some positive energy

This song was originally intended to be a private gift but has since become a mainstay of my performance sets. It's one the few songs that I've written that was developed from the start with a very specific feel in mind. It was intended to reflect…

This song is for the one I'll always love. The one who went away. My swan.

~blizzard a silent. In white~

~and then he felt how it was - that last year's snow~

No title for this guy yet, as indicated by the...title. Anyway, this is a venture that leans in the direction we hope to take our sound. Of course it needs work, bass and vocals, but we think it's a decent representation of "us," and probably…

hello consciousness...how have you been? collaboration with L.F.O (guitar) made in linux (back in 2009)

Love playing with Norm!

Instrumental that later became Plodding Along

With a vocal by Ijah, the rest of the track is based on Magix loops. Subsequently re-recorded without these loops and with a vocal alongside Ijah's vocals in a vocal version, this is the original instrumental template.

As can happen when you listen to sometime a million times over your mind and ears start accepting things that later you wish you had not. This is a (much better imho) revision thanks to the urging of Gary from the music by computer list.
