[2002] Beats & Vegetables Vol.I

to my brother and sister. sometimes you don't realize who you were until you left. i value family so much, but somehow i don't live as if i do. i want to change this.

Here's the soon-to-be smash-hit all on its own. Rob and Steve enlisted the talents of a serious hip-hop producer to nineties-up samples from Alphaville's 1984 chart-tickler before unleashing the sick and also fat rhymes of the MC they're calling…

Also recorded when I was very, very sick...I needed to get RPM 2006 kicking into gear, regardless of the state of my voice. This song was written and recorded on the spot. What you are hearing is what I made up as I went with the record button…

This is a total remake of an earlier posting. Lead vocals courtesy of fellow Alonetoner, Dana. In the lyrics, I was trying to capture a sense in which there is something else beyond - something which draws me as it were homeward. A son…

another nocturne

The first of my 'one song every week' challenge

Here I attempt to articulate a few distinct feelings of the home, or the affect of cultivating one's own space, or not. Instrumentation: house keys, pots and pans, long bamboo flute, synth, drum programming, voice(s), and didgeridoo (a real…

this ain't perfect, i've been working on it a while. the drums sound like shit, my vox are horid and the guitars suck balls, but i kinda like it.

Sometimes magic happens. Sometimes it even happens to me. Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record. No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…

The story of a helpful, but hungry, Sea Cow.

so this one is in Portuguese. sorry for all u English speakers. but i hope u go ahead and listen to it anyway. i like it a little faster than this version. this is from a couple years ago.

The song i wrote the night my daughter was born. there was a special presence, a special grace...

Created back in 1999 with the help of alonetoner K.Scot. I had translated the english lyrics into portuguese - then just decided to record both languages at the same time.

This is another version of the same tune used in Dana's Song. I just changed the lyrics. It was created back in 1999 with the help of Alontoner K.Scot. This is my own way of looking at a beautiful text - Psalm 139.

Short tidbit written for my boss boss.

I love it when words sound cool in songs. Not the meaning of the words, just the way they sound. When they go along really well with the rhythm. So I wrote this song with only one purpose: to make the words sounds cool. I didn't care what I was…

Just a song about a rainy day.

This is what happens when three friends get together on pasta making day. Special thanks: Annie, for your voice; Dana, for your voice and your musical knowledge (she knew exactly what chords we needed). Dana is a fellow alonetoner, you should…

I wrote this song after my brother passed away a couple years ago. His girlfriend of 4 years asked me to write the music to a poem she wrote. This is what it turned out to be. Lyrics by Annie Buller.

I wrote the music to this song while playing around on the piano, thought it sounded nice. But for a long time i left it like that cus I couldn't think of how to develop it. Then one day i was playing it, and i stopped and saw my dad's old guitar…

This original melody idea was jotted down in October 2003 in Harmony Assistant, and I had written it thinking that someday I'd make it a real song with lyrics. While playing the tune on the computer, my daughter came in and said she liked it…

another oddity from the answering machine.

I actually composed this entire song in a piece of guitar tab software called Guitar Pro. Then I exported it to MIDI, imported it into Reaper, and assigned better sounding VST instruments to each track. The purpose behind it was to see if someone…

A spacey electronic number. Part of my song a week project. http://yelyah.com/song-a-week/

I wrote this song for a musical Thanksgiving party that Sudara threw in Santa Fe back in 2002.

This is a track from my abandoned "Weekend Follies" album, which was recorded in my parent's basement in Mercer Island, Washington during the summer of 2003. This track was recorded during Seafair weekend. That's one of the "Blue Angels" flying…

Recorded February 2003 - June 2003 in Sydney, Australia

Recorded September 2002 - January 2003 in Los Angeles, CA

this vocal arrangement only made the cutting room floor. full instrumentalized version forthcoming. i just wanted this arrangement its own chance at life!

got some wine, spilled some soul.

'Time' is an ambient piece; which is said to reflect human nature from one point of view. This is a slow melodic new age/world genre short song. Someone who listened said it would best serve in pre-meditative scenarious.

From a poem Julie wrote at age nine, "The Whispering Wind", comes a song composed in collaboration with Grant Duncan. This is rock, pop with a blustery story.

This is a cover of Sister Savage's (well, her daughter's) recent effort by the same name... ;-)

Babylon is Dead EP Track 4

This is a short teaser of my Electro-like remix that I entered into a contest organized by the Dutch radio station SlamFM. I haven't uploaded the full thing because I don't want to get into copyright issues, so if you like the sound of the beat…

Glu and Sister Savage bring you these remixes! Original track by Sister Savage: http://alonetone.com/sistersavage/tracks/little-england This one is pure pop. Voice pitched 1/2 step up.

New age and upbeat.

Written today. recorded on an iMac with the internal mic and no headphones (!) so it's probably going to be muddy as hell, but that feels about right for now. LYRIC: Fill up the glass, Bartender Ply your art Quench the fire in here, now…

welcome back to the singularity!
