Wow, I listened to all 3 tunes in the series, but I must say that My wing really grabbed my ears... I hate to compare but the Wistful/ Leonard Cohen feel to this one is magic. faved .. loved it .. more please
This is a collab song with MTC. I almost hated adding anything to it cuz the first track he sent me was kickass vintage Jim. It totally changed flavors in the collab process, but still one of my favs

Didnt mean to have a political slant but had just got denied my large order soft drink in Manhattan.
All thats left are the small sodas with the "NY loves big cans" tee shirts

Texas hold em poker, and going for it all. Open mic acoustic with some alt tuning. Percussion by Norm.
The kokiriko? Norms playing in there actually sounds like shuffling cards- particularly loving the glockenspiel addition he did…

WOOO - I've been listening to all of your stuff while doing some much needed guitar maintenance. Haven't been near enough the PC to fave and comment appropriately on individual songs... but WOW! I didn't hear a single track I didn't like, and there is some utterly SUPERB stuff in your track list.
Hoping there'll be some more soon.
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…

This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…

I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…

I had the pleasure of hearing an alternative version of this song. One where the green fairy exploded. It was good. Norm agrees that a) both versions are awesome, and that b) bottle rockets are good. ~Eloise
This is was originally for piano and is a fair assessment of my piano playing abilities in 1977 and was written in that year.
The original piano version can be had here

Is that live guitar or keys>? yet another good example of the cool variety of music you create, this almost sound like it could be a prelude to something bigger...
I found this poem I wrote back before she left. I put music to it and recorded it night before last.
Yeah, the high voice is me too.

On this beach made of sand and shells
and broken hearts
as with so many things in this life
it ends where it starts
And like the waves that will roll over me
you take away everything that I see
So I walk to the place where the sand

last eve there was a beautiful moon
dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…

Thanks guys for the listen and comments !
Richard, that sound like a great idea.
If AT was a Tavern, I'd buy a round for everyone !
What better than a community of musicians to drink with
Two-part tune. The first part is "Untitled," and the second part (based on the last bit of "Untitled") is "Sugar." We went for the slow version for the record. We also play "Punk Sugar" and have messed around with "Country Sugar" and "Reggae…
This is from years ago, living in santa fe.
I loved driving around in my little 1980s toyota corolla and listening to cassettes. I loved the way they sounded.
So I took a piano song I was working on, recorded it to cassette, dragged mic…
Wow...I almost like it better as recorded in your car with the other sounds ect...but this is so good, really needs to be recaptured in a better recording. really enjoying the changes at 6:50 too ! - and 8:25
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

Thanks Vais, I DL'ed yesterday and have been messin with it. I tried adding a few things today but never got to a point that I thought it was an improvement. Pretty full - if anything, I think my additions distracted from it -

I believe there's a demo version of this tune that I've already uploaded to alonetone. Originally written as a piano piece.
I had some lyrics describing a late nite cake baking experience kicking around. If I have a lot on my mind, dirtying every dish in the house seems like the right thing to do.
I stole some cool percussion from Norm and went to work. I also…
This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…

cool, and unique song. the backing vocals bring it all together too
Cool acoustic song. I like the lyrics and the mended closure too. (makes me think about oil at the moment though)
Beautiful moonlight. Enters only though the window and not the door
Thanks guys for the listen and comments ! Richard, that sound like a great idea. If AT was a Tavern, I'd buy a round for everyone ! What better than a community of musicians to drink with

I cant believe I missed this, very chillin track indeed, I really like when the base comes in around 230, and.. that pic is a trip
like the bass and keys in the backdrop -cool song
Ahhh, I really like this. technically, very well crafted with a subtle, smooth blend.
