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…

cover song originally by tegan and sara (lyrics by Sara Quin).

Pack your things and head for the hills, Tsunami's a comin! Recorded with acoustic guitar

Recently revisited track from about 2006-2007.

Song from 2007 when I went under the name Mantraversal.

spent some time on this one. going for a trance dance feel. done with ableton and synths

the beats part is worked by my friend using fruityloops and the guitar part is done by me.ENJOY!!!!

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…

A typical folk song. Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take. Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…

Well, hot summer night. Beautiful woman dancing in the moonlight, (the goddesses knew what they were doing, a man doesn't stand a chance against this), knees going weak.... hearts' pounding...head spinning = new song. (Love was already there…

The first 6 min. of the set from Backbeat Cafe last night. My favorite part at a manageable listening length.

The first track from our 2008 RPM album. Didn't make the cut for the final album, so you get to enjoy it here!

Some girls have had it far too rough for their very few years. How old were you when you'd seen enough How old were you when your hide got tough Your wounds have scarred Sometimes they still sting Close your eyes and hear her sing

This is a feeble attempt to play some classical Spanish guitar. It took two takes, to make one guitar part, haha. I am no Tommy Emmanuel, and that will be obvious when you listen to this one.

This is a collaboration with a wonderful young artist - Craig Mathieson. Craig is a tremendous talent, a great guitar player, and just an all around good guy. His album just dropped and you can hear more of his music at the following: http…

The finished version!

Second of the songs with a movie clip from 1955.

Wisians are those strange foreign people with odd customs, and funny hats. They love to party. Have you seen one recently?

Cthulahoop recording commenced after a peculiarly strong dream. Uses samples of a friend's digerido run through an analog filter. Definitely dream state.

Cthulahoop recording. Monkey, the base element of the human alchemy.

At the beginning of a Himitsu jam session we had an impromptu trio of guitar, theremin, and electronic drums doing a snippet of this classic theme.

This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…

i actually got to kidnap a real live drunk sax player for this instrumental kick in the face of traditional arrangement.

i lay my head down on my pillow outside i can see the evening sky you are just over that Western horizon and i dream that i can fly the earth shakes ' my water breaks we have given birth to something new i see you standing hear before me we…

OK we lost power at a critical point in recording for RPM. This one was written and recorded the day I had to pack up all my recording gear and borrow a room at a local public business which was on a different power grid. The wind had caused some…

Inspiration for this quick fun one came from Uncommon Ritual and other works by Edgar Meyer: I wanted to take a run of notes across multiple instruments just to have fun!

We play even number of games of backgammon and sometimes it ends in a...

Written with thoughts for Nodar Kumaritashvili who died at the 2010 Olympics. It was a one in a million chance...

I figure if I keep trying long enough, I'll start channeling the great Django Reinhardt. Perhaps it's like squeezing blood from a stone but if I get a drop or two, I'm happy with that!

Named after a painting which was named after a lovely little daily ritual I share with my best friend.

The title came to me when I saw what impending maelstrom was headed our way on satellite imagry. Lots of space in this tune...

Hard dance track. Check out the bass line.

A reggae version of my country/pop tune. From 2008 album Do What I Gotta Do

All right, so one of those silly songs needed to find its way onto the album. In an effort to teach the students on my middle school team about rhythm in poetry, I wrote this little bit of foolishness about a fictional character (so yes, you…

Believe it or not, this song was written while swimming laps in the high school pool (I had to have the life-guard kid write down lines for me every time I returned from the deep end). Oddly enough, the first line I came up with was "Swimming…

"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…

Wrote this song this weekend. Based on an idea from a good friend Sherri Silverwolf. The chorus comes from a saying she came up with. She suggested I write a song for it. So here it 'tis. I think it turned out pretty good. Demo style, just…

Tried to capture the spirit of the e.e. Cummings poem, didn't quite make it.

A song about roads not taken, regrets, and a girl I knew in junior high school.

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…

From the Himitsu jam sessions. Electronic punk jazz or almost anything else. A group of 3 to 5 musicians meeting weekly to just play. All improvisation, no planning or themes, just what you bring. Heavy use of Kaos Pad and vocoders, as a…

two quotes off some TCM-movie and an edited Lady Gaga interview pretty much make up the vocal portion of the track. the rest was born from the fat beats i started out with.
