With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

My first attempt to work with loops I created using midi.
With Mr Sandbags (reichatron). There's a really cool version with guitar added by Mac somewhere too, but it's weirdly vanished! Will add as soon as I find it.

An ironic title (and to a large extent the upbeat feel of the melody) as life was not aligned with joyful calm when I wrote it. However, I'm proud of this; it's not complicated and doesn't overstay its welcome. First of my songs to feature AI piano!
An experiment with Damage 2. It was going to be part of a larger album but didn't make the cut. It's a song about the subtle experiences we all have and somehow connect with each other in one way or another. The song is more about that connection…
Wonderful to have you back on alonetone - and hear new stuff from you.
This is beautiful - I love the way you change the feeling up throughout, and those are absolutely stunning vocals...damn.
Another song that never made the cut on a recent album, but I plan on finishing it later. Drums were written by a friend of mine after I gave him a very rough drum idea.
Great to hear this one again! I'm (still) working on an album with the brilliant JST - he's just ridiculously good at everything. :) But so long as he's doing it on the same album as me, I'm okay with it.
Tworegs visited and we couldn't help but get at least one colaboration song done in the studio. I wish we would have had time to get some other songs he wrote in SF recorded in my studio but I was out of town during part of his stay, and to be…
Ahh like a lovely cup of tea. I was thrilled to bits when you also signed up this year, and although I failed miserably, you knocked it out of the park...again. Thanks for giving me more breezy music to laugh at the world by. Next year, let's do it again. Any physical CDs this year??
Brilliant song - and you make it all sound so effortless. Fresh, cool, quirky (I'm told by my teenage daughters that "quirky" no longer means what I think it means, but they're wrong), just g-o-o-d m-u-s-i-c.
RPM 2024 track 7
A good friend of mine has a Samoyed. This is a song about him.
I was hoping for a kiiind of Cheap Suit Serenaders feel. Acoustic guitar, a 1920s tenor banjo and a brand new mandolin.
This gets a strange emotional reaction from me because I can't imagine you to be anything other than mischievous and irrepressible. But...this is Americana Tango...and I love both. Weirdly though, this takes me to the leafy walkways of Rome and now I want a cappuccino and to send you flowers.
Dean Martin probably wants to record this. I can hear a version with the Hollywood treatment in my head. But this is cooler. You infuse fresh air in everything you record.
Smiling in the first few seconds. This is the Gumbo I love. Lies and Tales is one of my absolute favourites RPM albums of all time, so the bar is pretty high - but this is toe tapping classic Gumbo awesomeness. Yep yip.
Comments on Sister Savage's stuff
Nice! You have an interesting voice that suits the song very well.
So painful, so heart wrenchingly beautiful!
You two belong together! Sorry Matt!
This was the last one to be taken wasn't it? I know why now, it was waiting for you to save it.
Ooo ethereal or what. This is an awesome collab! You minxy little witch!
I didn't know you could write and sing like that. I was going to say she get's it from me, but she doesn't! He wasn't just good looking!
Superb musical composition, I'll speak to you later young lady!
Wonderful music and that voice! All silky smooth and creamy!
Wow!
You haven't told me about this one. A beautiful vocal to be sure. Ha nothing new there then. Love the rhythmic, whooshy music.
Great bass and as usual terrific vocals.
This is great . Super use of the Looper. This is Tess-tastic
You have the most glorious voice! Really cool song
really nicely done..
A Jetty on the Lake is by bjorn lynne. Thanks for your comment. the only original I have put up for awhile is pianos and guitars.
Excellent Track
Song is fanatic! really love the synths & and vocal progression....delay guitars are super cool!
Impressed and floating away on the vocals
love it! Haunting vocals and tasty lead guitar
Great beat. Unique and cool. Love the vox.

AI piano..? That should be depressing but it's a pretty nice flavour - lovely breezy feel on this beautiful day.

Class.
"Didn't make the cut"...you're hilarious. This is brilliant. I love the dizzying synth line.
Great to hear this one again! I'm (still) working on an album with the brilliant JST - he's just ridiculously good at everything. :) But so long as he's doing it on the same album as me, I'm okay with it.
Dreamy...drifting away on vaisvil clouds... Sounds like flowers opening.
Fun breezy collab!
Liking the moodiness here! But where have all your other tracks gone, Johnno?! Good to hear from you. Hope you're well and happy.
Still love.

Moody, Wolfy, Sliiick. (Album opener vibes, imho)

Absolute classic Gumbo. Light and breezy, but with a bittersweet (dark even) undertone...how do you do that!?
Super sweet! Love the mandolin and you definitely achieved the feeling you were aiming for. *googles Samoyed*
Oooh yes!! Sultry! Rhythmic! Loving all the layers, all the twists and turns.
Oof yeah, more tango! Lovely harmonies and dreamy guitar.
Mischievous and irrepressible. The prosecution rests.
