3 guitar tracks followed by a track with the trap set. A lot of alt tuning lately posted on AT which I like. This guitar was tuned to an open G. After I did it, I thought the sound was more like a backwoods, hillbilly song.
Unfortunately…
Oh well, nothing like going to a middle school music function to break writers block, all those posters and flare about achievement...
Special thanks to my sons middle school band, The Preston Pumas playing at the end !
Different recording here as the electric guitar, bass guitar were not plugged in, just recorded raw with a power mic and then EQ'ed to make it sound amped - pardon mistakes!

I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.

@ vaIsvil, ya that's right! It was an accident. I just wanted to get a rough draft song down in my head. I had no idea the electric guitars could sound "plugged in" by just EQ tweaking post production The string strumming is pronounced but seems to keep the tempo...

Nice song - I did finally get around to listening to it :-) So this is literally unplugged hard bodied normally electric instruments - I've never heard of this being done before - awesome idea!!

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

or listen to it…
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…
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…
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

Ahhh, I really like this. technically, very well crafted with a subtle, smooth blend.
