This is really beautiful. It moves me. You do John sweet justice, and that means so much to me -- I loved the man and can appreciate your part in keeping his music fresh, new, and alive.
I’m not only Gene Eric Mann on Alonetone, but also Justin Otter Guy, Merry Bear, and Nightmoth. I hadn’t noted before your compliment here regarding my version of Runaway. Thank you for that. But you did a great job with this number. That middle KB break is tricky and takes some agile, dexterous fingers to execute properly, and you pulled it of nicely.
1.Afsluitdijk
...is a Dutch word and it's the name of the dam/road going from the province Friesland to North-Holland (and Amsterdam) The lyrics are about a 15-year old boy who feels so trapped in the boring Frisian town he's living in that he…
2. It's easier when you don't care
How true! Based on a blogpost-title by my favourite RPMer. I recorded the guitar and bass-parts this year through a Vox Pathfinderamp at relatively neighbourfriendly levels. That worked surprisingly well here…
1. Vanilla sex and garlic eyes
I tried this method http://www.songmd.com/col_hitlyrics.shtml to get out of my continuing lyricwriting-crisis. At step two of the method you have to write a nonsensical lyric on you melody. In the case of the first…
8. I only want to procrastinate
I started recording this on 28 february and added lyrics and vocals two hours before midnight the 29th. It's my favourite now though it's kinda dumb. I started with a drumrythm from a crappy Yamaha Portasound keyboard…
Here is another quick glimpse at ideas from my huge "Fractal Serenity" music video project, still in progress. This particular music-video is a "character study" of one of the strange plants that grows in this dream... the "Glass Orchid…
If you're a Lou Reed fan, you may like this. As I developed the melody, I just cracked up about how my sound came out! I decided not to fight it...
It's still very rough. I'll return to this one, when I get some time. But most will understand…
Electric remake of one of my earlier tunes, "Truth". I'm probably not through with it. I typed every bit of percussion in with my computer keyboard! I hope it sounds good to you. Let me know, I can tweak it. The bass is mainly drones I set up…
This is a new song that started as a guitar pick, then got some words. I finally recorded this. It has 3 parts. Nylon guitar, Electric and voice. This is part of the "human racing" series I am working on.
Matter is surprising
Not what…
I recorded this one to a dimming flashlight on the 25th after a windstorm took out my power. I couldn't see the lyrics anymore so I ad libbed and hummed the rest out. My recording device is battery operated, which is cool.
This predicament…
Another one from the dusty special price bin! It started off as a Pilot cover, but it didn't end up that way.
Dave Berry added the excellent tele solos and the crazy cool noises at the end. Thanks bro, you rock!
I spent more time on this…
A song about being a frog.
On a leaf, on a branch, on a tree, in a field
I'm alone, like a man, but I'm small, and I'm green
I'm a frog and i am free
I live my life amphibiously
i've got 100 hundred million friends
that are just like me
im a…
I wanted to end this years record with a tune I could easily fall asleep to and I asked Peter Dematté to play sax over two alternating guitarchords I recorded. I really love what he came up with and have tried to built it into a stressfree track…
There's several things I tried out that worked really well here; the popcorn-synthsound from the Dark Energy, the speeding up at the end, the minimalistic hiphopbeat. The lyrics are a bit too bla-di-bla for my taste but whatever...
Is this years' fillertrack. I had started this backingtrack to fit with a lyricidea I had but I decided against the lyric and turned it into an instrumental. I needed an extra tune since two other tunes I put quite a lot of time in were going…
