The psychedelic kitchen sink. Shreya's understated vocals about mythological things, the sound of the aurora, a droning wine glass, understated guitar, a fretless bass solo... I had a khoomei (throat singing) bit that resonated with the wine…

This is another (short) love song...

Nocturne for piano solo

This is a nocturne for piano solo

Close your eyes, and come with me. It is a warm Autumn eve in the Black Forest. There are ancient folk tales about this magical wood... how late at night it comes to life with mischievious fairies and wood nymphs. Any mortal who hears the unusual…

This is another guitar heavy piece, however there are three synth parts, but they further back in the mix. The name is from a dream of moving back to Vancouver BC. This is also definitely an ambient piece, treating sound as a sculpture more than…

This is part of a new body of work, centered more on guitar than synth, yet treating the guitar as I do the synth. This is still a work in progress, and I am open to input. This is definitely an ambient piece, treating sound as a sculpture more…

A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009

Short tidbit written for my boss boss.

Joel The Custodian and I created this together...

a profound and austere meditation,musical soulscape inspired by the bodhisattva,the ultimate spritual state,the realisation of the godhead.

I wrote this with two of my friends Diego (aka Mr. Napkinhead on alonetone) and Annie. an ode to pasta since my family is all about pasta. we had fun with the lyrics. wrote it in about 15 minutes, recorded it in an hour, and sang it that night…

I don't remember what this is about. Whatez. I'll talk about it later.

this one's rough around the edges. my boyfriend and i have been dating almost 3 years long distance. saying goodbye is something we do a lot.

I'm dating a girl halfway across the country. One day I saw the moon and realized that even though we were so far away from each other, we could both see the moon at the same time. The seemed pretty cool when I first thought of it... it still…

An experiment that became a meditation. Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track. The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…

From the album, "27b/6" track 6 of 8

This is what I think it should sound the tabernacle of God that Moses made

(An imagined recital) Thanks for listening.

mellowed out and unhappy... just how I like it.

Just a track... I wanted to make. Messing with vocals. I hate my voice a lot, but maybe I'll grow to tolerate it. Slightly.

This is an instrumental celebration of numbers such as 4 and 650. If you do not like 4 and 650 you can pretend it's about your favorite numbers instead, I won't mind so long as you don't go around pretending that I wrote this piece for 33 or 550.

Here's some film music; thanks for listening.

Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace. We lost him just over a year ago. Among many other unexpected, Christ-like kindnesses, he realized at one point…

Filho Sumido is portuguese for "Lost Son". Its my little bossa way of describing what its like to be away from the place I love, Brazil. Like a lost son. Someday I may make an english version - but then, maybe not. After all, its about Brazil…

I wrote this for a small orchestra a few years ago. Its a tribute to Igor Stravinsky

These are 3 variations to the mexican "the cockroach" popular theme

At the end of 2003, I was recording a bunch of covers in my basement in Portland, Oregon. This was the only original recording from that time. I was pretty bummed out at the time...

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.

slightly reworked version of the longest limousine.

Babylon is Dead EP Track 5

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.

a moody ethereal track. recorded straight from the laptop mic, so not the best, but had to capture it before it faded away.

Another instrumental. Several years ago I got a Behringer V-amp, and the first day I had it I wanted to play around with some of the odd guitar tones. This was the result of that playing around.

Just a simple instrumental. My wife was working on a new piano style one night, and when she was done practicing, I decided to try my hand at it. I flubbed up the very first chord, but I loved the way my flub sounded, so I wrote a whole song…

The first time I tried to rap. :-) I was trying to write an album different than anything I've ever done, so I decided to do a rap album. Rap isn't my top choice for musical genres these days, but as a kid I loved it, so I wanted to "go back…

Song I made using Tabit.

acoustic guitar and mandolin by me.

A second experiment with my new Rytme sequencer. This time Rytme is being fed into Logic to a track containing Kore 2 which is, in turn, hosting Kontakt 3 and the lovely Guzheng from Soniccouture (I bought the instrument before the new year but…

Another of the three songfight inspired titles. Painted Tense (the title) actually came from a band name generator website. I thought it might make a good song title so I submitted it to the RPM HQ person doing the name-from-a-hat picking. I would…

Very Slow but Quirky

This is the third of my 3 dramatic pieces for piano

late nights, thoughts, recordings. much black tea and mate.

Album: A Tale of Two Seas Year: 2006

a slow,intense meditation on a musical landscape,using coloured plates from atalanta fugiens

the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later

Slack key guitar and baritone ukulele. Hula version. Pauoa Liko Ka Lehua is about the beautiful flowers (Lehua) of Pauoa. The double entendre (kaona or hidden meaning) involves a girl with swaying hips.:)

Hula version. Slack key guitar with ukulele (Eleuke with high-octave G tuning) Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai praises plants of the sea, the fragrance of the lipoa (a seaweed) and the limu kohu reef plant used for flavor in Hawaiian cooking.

Hula version. Slack key guitar and Eleuke with high-octave G tuning. An ancient Maui chief named a district Ulupalakua, or "breadfruit ripened on the back", because the fruit ripened during transportation (by foot) to his home. This mele…
