Inspired in part by some of the great pioneers of electronic music in the 1970s, Jarre, Tangerine Dream and others. Also a sort of tribute to one of my favorite authours, Stanislaw Lem.

Featuring vocals by Katy Theodossiou. Although it isn't, it sounds alot like a bootleg version of a song. Has a really good lo-fi sound to it! Tell me what you think!

HAPPY
Happy is the anvil as the hammer strikes the blade
A fleeting spark that fades out as the memory is made
Happy is the spark when the hammer strikes the steel
Before the spit has sizzled into a vapor trail
And happy is the planner…

Written in 1989 and performed ever since by the Sluggos, this song was also covered by Split Lip Rayfield and appears on their album "Never Make It Home." The one song in my catalog that draws any royalties.

A protest song of sorts, regarding Vulcan Chemicals' disregard for the environment. Recorded in 1991 on four-track cassette as part of the never-released "Banana Syndrome" album. I play and sing everything on this one — perhaps my first recorded…

A lonesome tune from a lonesome time. Recorded in 1991 on four-track cassette as part of the never-released "Banana Syndrome" album. I played everything on this one.

This song was composed spontaneously while the four-track rolled during a monumental LSD trip in 1991. The background vocals and backward percussion were added the next morning before sleep came.

Written on Christmas, 1992, and recorded immediately onto four-track, this song was a gift. Midtown, Wichita.

More noise please! This one appeared on the 1993 Sunshine Family EP "Superbeetle," recorded by Chris Neal in the old Big Dog studios, Wichita, Kansas.

"Heavy without the metal" is how Jeff Eaton described the Sunshine Family's sound. You be the judge. This song appeared on the 1994 LP "Windbreaker."

Another solo four-track recording, this time from 1995.

After the breakup of Sunshine Family, Tom Page (the other guitarist) and I joined rockers Scott Mackey and Derek Ethridge to form Carganza. This song was from "Anomalon," my second attempt to write a rock opera.

I wrote and recorded this song the day Timothy Leary died in 1996.

This is somewhat contrasting to the general trend on alonetone.com, but it is what I do sometimes at work and is a good sample of my playing stile when it comes to house/live performances.

An experimental sort of tune in a retro style. It's like music from an old 1950's silent film.

A humorous track inspired by the style of Tyler the Creator. My friend Danny and I made it in July.

you've poisoned everything i know.
your poisoned hearts, I drank them all

Short but extremely fun percussion track to make. You're gonna need really good bass to hear the bassline, so get those bass boosting headphones out!

I met an old man on the way
He wore a mask like Sister Ray
And this is what he had to say -
"We want more songs about elves & flowers."
I asked him - "Are you sure ?"
He replied "Yes ! More !"
