Hauntingly beautiful. Wish I could play like that! Is this a recording of your actual or a software instrument? Either way sounds really rich and warm and I like that!
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with just the coolest tiny idea? perhaps a musical dream? these small pieces are just that,, tiny little musical notes that just seem to break into my normal musical day,, one take suff
think…
Easter Sunday,, soft bubbly white clouds float across a pale blue sky,, above a green green field, filled with rows of those who have passed away,,, my mother and father lie in one such.... fresh flowers, quiet, and sometimes not so, words drift…

This instantly takes you on a trip through your mind. like being swept up by the wind.. Then after two minutes the wind changes and leaves you wondering where you are and what will happen next..
Listened to Piano moment 7 and 6. Loved them, I instantly thought (when I listened to 7) can I make lyrics for it, and turn it into a song.....can't help it, that's the way my brains work I guess. Thanks for your comment on Hey Amelia (really appreciate it).

This is the first time I picked up and tried to play a guitar that is in 88 cent equal temperament - the tuning does not contain an octave. Since this was the first time I made some mistakes. Nonetheless I think it sounds interesting.
beautiful song that captures one of those special moments that find us,, touch us with the magic of family,, well played,, i have missed hearing your music of late Richard

Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
I played 12 string guitar and 5 string bass along with Norm's original percussion track http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son. The only effects were a bit of attack shaping on the bass (compression w/o compressing).
I did this kind of oddly…
After Creation is an entry into the Vox Novus 15 Minutes of Fame competition for flute and marimba duet. Unfortunately the entry was not accepted for performance but undeterred I present to you a performance of the score rendered by Garritan…
This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.

he's not stolen clean away by a fast car
but…
interesting piece,, i found it drawing me in not by note,, very Bach like in form/feel,, you say improv, is it in fact based on another piece?... in any event it's very pretty.. and does seem very Easterish to me,,, well done your friend R
I thought a microtonal piece almost completely in absynth would be a decent goal. So, I improvised bass, lead, chords, effects in 19 notes per octave against a sequence of drum loops run through effects. Then - just to see the difference I took…
interesting listen,,, very different,, im enjoying this not because it's the typical stuff, but rather because once again you are leading me off into musical directions that are new.. thanks R
Reg is in the cellar, it's early morning he is back in what seems the inevitable empty bar. To the Barman Reg sings his sad song ........................
i really like the musical underpinnings of this,, this piece has a rich full feeling,, another great story line,, like ive mentioned before, i think your a great story/word smith,,, very nice
you definitely have a new fan here,, well played,composed music all around,, if you have any videos of you preforming, id be neat to post them here,, ps gota love those guitar riffs cheers Richard
This is a short piece written for a friend who is developing a computer game for his degree. It needed to be loopable, hence the abrupt start and finish! Still a work in progress so i'd appreciate any comments about making it better
let see if i can contain myself and say this in a reserved British manner
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowieeeeeee!!
guess i can't
anyway a most amazing piece of music,, it's well written,, well,, performed,well mixed wonderful sound quality,, on my second listen,, the lyric quality/style storyline is great,, it's one of those pieces that though is fresh and new, already seems to have a classic feel.. well played

This is simple test of East-West symphonic choirs solo soprano voice and East-West Hollywood strings contra-bass. I feel its a bit reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - of course, your mileage may vary - it is a very simple and direct arrangement…
Chris, pretty nice, nice deep mellow sound on the bass,,,,the voice is also pretty good, i think i like it better than that of symphonic instruments,,,but i have not found myself doing well, ever, when trying to work with solo voice,,, i enjoyed this R

Ahh, perfect for peaceful reflection!

A hope echos through this track. Very comforting. Faved.
these flow like water! outstanding!
These are amazing.... each one seems complete and utterly engaging.
I think I'm listening to these backwards... Let me start at No 1... :)
This instantly takes you on a trip through your mind. like being swept up by the wind.. Then after two minutes the wind changes and leaves you wondering where you are and what will happen next..
This is stunning.... I wish I knew the theory behind what is being played.....Or to be able to play it for that matter. Just stunning!
Sounds like a psalm poet song...excellent!!
Piano, pauses, and then just silence. Glyphs.
hooked on the 6th note. beautiful emotions. would have liked to have heard the last note of the song for longer>
Shimmering sounds...
Listened to Piano moment 7 and 6. Loved them, I instantly thought (when I listened to 7) can I make lyrics for it, and turn it into a song.....can't help it, that's the way my brains work I guess. Thanks for your comment on Hey Amelia (really appreciate it).
