The longing is authentic. What more can I say.

from my re-mix CD

for any one who has a friend or loved one that makes you hope for the best, and fear the worst... this song is for a friend that I have had a long dialog with(years)... he's very self destructive... you don’t care about winning the argument, you…

it is a winter blanket of snow. it smothers life. it attempts to silence all sound. however, small ghosts of music escape. they always find each other. every winter they dance together. they are the notes of christmas past. 0x0 hw: quicksilver…

This is the first real attempt at recording this properly and its got some way to go. It needs a guitar solo and vocoders and so on. But this is some of what I did in my 24 hour slot. I battled with my vocoders and lost :(

One night after three month of no rain, as we were driving home from singing at Gringos in Grapevine a splash of water hit the windshield. I said to myself, "Sweet Rain." I went home and wrote the song. It's on the soundtrack of a movie called…

...after reading John Steinbeck's IN DUBIOUS BATTLE and watching the John Ford movie of GRAPES OF WRATH. The opening and closing statements are quotes from the Preacher in the movie. A friend said he wanted to do a video of this track. I…

one of 5 songs written in July 2005 re: an old bandmate coming to visit after moving away to Indiana. this is a true story. remember me when I slept with your wife and you didn't kill me remember me when we played in that band and toured…

Jeff Archer - Guitar Joe Lafata - Keyboard Bass Matt Stahl - Drums This is my personal favorite of the 5 jams.

Just messing around with some amp tremolo and a drum loop.

it is perhaps of Oriental origins. however, the pentatonic music becomes dysfunctional as it begins to fixate on two notes. it is almost humorous. it was considered a failed experiment. however, it is retrieved from the waste bin, as version 0x01…

This is another song snippet from my experimentations with Reason 4.

A remix my girlfriend Dionne came up with. Part of “The big crash of '07” album. Which is a collection of mostly prototypes of songs that are lost because of a harddrive failure. C'est la vie.

A mashup of “Bodyrox - Yeah yeah (Ramirez remix)” and “Bucky Done Gun - M.I.A.” Part of “The big crash of '07” album. Which is a collection of mostly prototypes of songs that are lost because of a harddrive failure. C'est la vie.

A failed attempt to sing a song of the glorious banana breakfasts served by P.P. in "Gravity's Rainbow"

Pedal steel dreamscape and silly panic from the answering machine.

24 hours of music making for 2008. Yup. This is a "Gaiman variation" which means that I stopped at 24 hours and this is what I've got. Not 24 min, but it is a "Noble Failure" You can see my 2007 album [here](http://alonetone.com/sudara…

Thanks for listening.

this is the first thing I've ever recorded on guitar. (or mountain dulcimer).

an exposition,traditional of the raga,bilaskani todi,transformed into a slightly ,dark ambient piece of music,exploring musical landscapes,with a scenario,as if for film music,which my pieces normally are.

I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee. Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.

I was hesitant about uploading this one. It's really old and I hadn't listened to it in at least 10 years. I remember that at the time of recording it didn't come out the way I wanted but that I was ok (sort of) with the results. The vocals were…

A song about not wanting to feel for someone that has treated you badly and left you behind. Despite having these feelings you still feel this person is above you. As they fly freely and you're left lost on the ground. When they come flying…

like vanilla ice cream

this was just a little doodle that was fun. someday i'll buy a mandolin and actually learn how to play it.

with special cameo appearance by Gene Kruppa

One wonders what the source of fuel would be..

The first track I built, back when I was still full of hope for this exercise. I'm not convinced the hope survived it :)

There was a director who was so happy to show off his lead singer to the playwrite... she was young and beautiful and a talented singer... when he finally got to present her to the playwrite... the playwrite nodded, and smiled.. he told the director…

From the "Northville" project. I played acoustic and electric guitars and an ARP Odyssey synthesizer on this track.

While my wife and I were travelling back down the coast of California (near Big Sur) from a vacation around New Years, we stopped at a turnout over a cliff, and took a bunch of video of at least 15 California Condors, flying and hanging out on…

Just a funky song about the world, economy, what we want, what we have.

While living in Seattle I knew a guy named Larry. Larry was one of the "pretty" people of the world and had most women drooling over him. He met and married Denise... Also one of the "pretty" people of the world. But Denise could not seem to…

This is maybe the first track written entirely by This Caustic Autumn as a group effort. I'd been to see Sigur Ros play at Massey Hall in Toronto the night before we wrote this, so that's where the idea for the bowed Les Paul came from. Other…
