I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee.
Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.
Just a simple humble ditty, one of a handful I've been playing on the piano lately.
I haven't been in the mood to do much recording in the last months — or more specifically, haven't been in the mood to flesh out and arrange tunes. So this…
This is a piece written for 37signals, made to accompany a [fun video they did on Letterpress printing](http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2795-a-letterpressed-thank-you)

First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.

Psychedelic! I so dig the richness. Nice handle on jazzing up that near-east scale. I like how the music side of your brain works and look forward to learning more about the rest of your brain -- ROCK ON!

This is the first cover song I've ever really recorded in my 15 years of playing and recording.
The guitar and voice are each full continuous takes, I didn't want to do comping (copy and pasting), though the vocal harmony parts were done in…

Plucking of the "wrong side of the strings" on my jazz guitar. Rhythm made with an espresso machine.
I tried to do 2 main things here:
1) Create harmony with spoken voice, via pitch shifting (Did the first part of the program disturb you…

This is pretty experimental for me, and even I feel it is way out there. This is a chronicle of a man descending into madness after discovering the truth in the words he has said and deeds he has committed.
Really to me it sounds like cheesy…
Hi Inge! Any new songs lately, or is being a full time mommy eating up all of your time? Listened to "Don't" a couple times. Really nice guitar part and (as always) beautiful voice. Tough topic to sing about, you did it well.
Made when the credit crisis was starting, Volatility refers to how volatile things are in reality and how it results in us being insecure and uncertain about the present and future conditions of our life.
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…
I watched as she walked back across the border. There was no one
waiting to question her. she turned back to look at me from the other
side of the fence. I couldn't decide which side of the wall I was on.
Goodbye my Penelope.
Loved this album, it was a whole bunch of fun. The auto-tuning is just nuts, as well as all the bitcrushing and panning and samples. Just a whole 40 minutes of fun. Thanks guys.
Here I attempt to articulate a few distinct feelings of the home, or the affect of cultivating one's own space, or not.
Instrumentation: house keys, pots and pans, long bamboo flute, synth, drum programming, voice(s), and didgeridoo (a real…
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
Sometimes magic happens. Sometimes it even happens to me.
Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record.
No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…
Great feel to this! Sounds like electric guitar music from west africa, completely slowed down and shoved underwater. Very soothing and pleasant to listen to.
Wow, I wasn't expecting such nice response! Thanks for the comments everyone, I'll have to go on an instrumental spree for a bit now :)
@Sister Savage - it's an upright bass, but I agree, it sounds very much like a cello in this case.
Warning: silliness ahead!
alloy (along with this months issue of MusicTech) got me into the creative possibility of gate and pitch shifting effects so I spent a happy morning playing with Logic's noise gate, vocal shifter, and ring shifter…
100% field recordings of animals from SE Peruvian Amazon, Madre De Dios region. If this is your first bioelectrophilia experience, check out the album I made while I
Was there this past summer:

Sweeeeet! The beat here is nice and chiiiiiil. Cool project, I'm sure you'll whip corey into shape :) Tell him if he runs out of open source ideas, alonetone needs a few bells and whistles, including some stuff I wanna do on ec2. :)
I only have great things to say about this batch of tunes brando. And this one, it carries your trademark sound, love the last minute. I mean, I have things to say about all these tunes, but it just comes down to me being really very happy to listen to new stuff from you. Congrats!

That was excellent. I really liked it.
Great guitar work, excellent recording and studio work. The lyrics are okay, but the one thing missing sorry to say is the voice.
This is nice, all the subtle layers! With the title, it causes me to introspect and rise to a new level of awareness... Thanks!
What a beautiful little piece!
Psychedelic! I so dig the richness. Nice handle on jazzing up that near-east scale. I like how the music side of your brain works and look forward to learning more about the rest of your brain -- ROCK ON!
A hint of sadness in this tune but i like it

Nice, love the breakdown and the last 15 seconds. Bow chicka vampire ftw.

Your stuff has a lot of positive driving energy. Really enjoying your thick sound.
Just gorgeous.

Sweeeeeeet. Awesome to see/listen to you here, I was like "no...is that THE Tim Gourley!?" Nice track, dig the birds and the the laid back feel.
Really enjoying your songs, they are a great companion to my day.
Great harmonies on this one, a really nice listen.
Lovely. A wonderful adventure from start to finish. Like Sister Savage, I was caught wondering "who *is* this" - should have known better :)
Beautiful playing!
Great feel to this! Sounds like electric guitar music from west africa, completely slowed down and shoved underwater. Very soothing and pleasant to listen to.
Hey cool! I was just playing this tune the last couple days thinking about you. A nice mix of words, singing, harmonica, and electric guitar...

Damn, glubot continues! This is one hot track. No one could mistake the smell of this tasty dish - mmm, Glu ragu.
Damn, this is Funky with a capital F. Had me getting freaky in my chair.
Wow! Nice laid back groove. Hey, I remember that piano line :) You must have 'cleaned it up' rhythmically, it sits well now. What a surprise!
Heh, right around 2:40, this gets TRIBAL! love it, makes me wanna get up and dancing.

Nice and juicy and quirky! :)
