Nice piece! I really like the tension the guitar brings in at about 2 minutes... and again at about 3 1/2 min. Also cool how you break it all down at the end.
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…
Comments on Johnny Stone's stuff
i see me by the river when i was a kid..running with the wind..great one man..
Am liking this one. Wow. Solid changes.
A lot happening in 2 minutes 10. Great stuff John.
Real easy. Nice and smooth.
Glad I found you. No one tells me nothing. Lovin' the new direction. Now, I'll listen to the rest :)

Cool mix, booms.
It's really pretty, and I love the seasonal effects. Groovy percussion!
spectacularly strung out but definitely not stressed....nice one ...good style synth and keyboard work....ta Jarvo
Nice textures and chord progressions!
Magical, sparkly and bright!
Loads of movement and changes of pace and I like the wind motif that runs throughout..... Jarvo
Happy New Year, Johnny! Refreshing sounds - beautiful melodies.
Love the melody in there Johnny. I like the bird song as a sign of hope even though the wind is wild. Beautiful instrumentation.
Great to hear some more stuff from you!
Nice one man! Very interesting
Nice one man! Love the tension that comes into play in places
This is a very evocative trac. I'd love to see some video or stills synced with this as a video.
Nice piece! I really like the tension the guitar brings in at about 2 minutes... and again at about 3 1/2 min. Also cool how you break it all down at the end.
Inventive and sweet - love the slow groove.
