Trying out a new strat: not letting myself work on details on the computer until the skeleton of the song is complete. Result is a lot of variety in songwriting, but a bit rougher arrangement/mix.

Lovely melancholy and lyricism btwn recover and take ii with tongue and cheek intensity in Prayer, all interesting and my first hearings of your music in all this time on Alonetone Sudara. Thanks for this and for what you do in providing Alonetone for all of us with no expectations. Thanks too for listening to my track from Good Friday recently and the kind words. I am in turn and nice to hear what you do as well.
Keep me close and afraid
Keep me wandering for days
Keep me exactly the same
Keep me docile and tired
Keep me angsty and wired
Keep me faking the pain
Keep me loose and contained
Keep me close and afraid
Keep me wandering for days…
Keep me close and afraid
Keep me wandering for days
Keep me exactly the same
Keep me docile and tired
Keep me angsty and wired
Keep me faking the pain
Keep me loose and contained
Keep me close and afraid
Keep me wandering for days…
I remember the first day I offered my case to her, with little question in myself due to the fact that my hand interview was denied as well as my stirs meeting did not go well, i was entrusted only deportation procedures.
Long car rides through the corn.
Leave me angry and torn.
And my lap covered in ashes.
I drive through small towns.
With my windows down.
Dreaming of fatal car crashes.
Somehow I can't decide what to do with the night.
Cursing at…
there was a strange 1996 david cronenberg movie like this with james spader- it was called “crash” i think you’d like it. this could have been the soundtrack 🙀
I made this simple song to try out playing an acoustic guitar with an ebow. It works, but it's quite quiet. The movement of the fingers on the fretboard is louder than the sounds. I didn't use any effects on the guitar tracks.
I recorded my voice…
Something I'm working on. I'm a sucker for 5/4 time these days.
The biggest issue is the vocals which are sort of a placeholder right now until I re-write and re-record them, or maybe even find someone who can actually sing to lay something down!
Sweeeeeet. Wow, awesome drums, awesome rhythm, loving it, really nice organsynth/guitar. Ending kicks some ass, love the way the beat drops back in. Only problem with the vocals that I hear is that they are hidden/not loud enough, but that's for my taste :)
Go Go Go! We should invent a new word for these kind of collaborations. Maybe "hand-offs" or "tag-team" or hrm...I basically got to sit back and watch the tune become awesomer without lifting a finger. Win! I'll try and think up a good word. Nice job.
Experimenting with my piano/keyboard skillz and a first attempt at record clapping. Needs a good go over with some quality drums and some better arranging. Everything sounds very "synthy" on account of I don't have any quality VSTi at the moment.
Ooooh, that bass is Juicy Fruit, love it. Clapping turned out really well. Gotta admit, I wanted it to build up and keep going! But I'm happy to be teased too :) Did you use compression at all, or is everything completely clean?
What'chcu using these days as a DAW anyway? Good thing I ask you these detailed questions when alonetone doesn't let you reply back in a threaded way (who built this darned site anyway!) - but heck, I'm curious.
An experiment in simplicity. Back to the basics. It's the only counter to stagnation. Don't over think!
This was pieced together quickly while in front of the microphone. Revisiting the editing/mastering process was fun.

This one's for that little black and tan, Nahannah.
Lyrics:
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good

Congrats brando on finishing! Lots of tasty aural morsels in these tracks, it's really an amazing body of work that you pumped out in 24 hours. Amazing. Enjoy the sleeeeeeep!
It's great to hear your voice being supported by other instruments than guitar, it's a whole other world. Is there more to this song, or is it just the short but very sweet 1 min?
For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…
Inge, thanks for this, I was really happy to see that you uploaded some new tracks (well, and old). What a beautiful song. Your voice as always, is just absolutely *flawless*.
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
I've been trying to write a comment here for a good 10 minutes, but nothing is coming out right. I'm so very happy and honored you put your music up here, we are lucky to have you.
This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…
This is awesome. Just awesome.

Originally a very different song, slowed to a dragging pace and laced with dense moans of twisted agony. There's a little bit of John MacDonald on lead guitar in the build too.
Hi Brando. So I have this song. It's either inspired by / ripped off from / a tribute to....YOU and this album bust out. I wrote it months ago melodically, but never stuck lyrics to it. I want to dust it off and bring it out. I was just hammering the piano playing it when I thought "hey, actually it would be really cool to have 2 different voices on it, or to work directly with brando on it in some way." - Interested? Not sure how your life looks these days, but if you like I can send you a raw piano/la la la version with a note about my intentions, and you can see if you like it.
Hey Geoffrey, awesome to see you here. Some very nice sounds, love the mix. Really like the xylophoney sound around 2:11, sounds like a doorbell when it enters. Dig the way it falls apart a bit at the end. More please! :)
I'm learning to 'listen' to the 'flow' of life all around me and not get so caught up in little things that don't really matter.
Learning to enjoy! Life is good...
The river runs
and i look into it
i see myself
in a million faces there…
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…
Comments on Sudara's stuff
Nice song! You mentioned it was rough, but it doesn’t sound that way. I think you’ve captured it.
Juicy, delicious
Loving the long, baroque-esque melody.
Awesome sound!! Sounds really epic, especially the lower notes.
Keep it rolling brother. Beautiful tones.
Pedal steel? Have you been hanging out with Daniel Lanois?
I love it, so eerie. It gave me chills 🙂
😎

Great sound. Loving the counterpoint.
Good to have you back, Sir. Keep them coming please.
Cool track with Wurlitzer sound and also the little reverb on the back 👍
Nice one.
Eerie and gorgeous!
Beautiful
Lovely! love the lyrics
Love this so much. Especially the spare arrangement. It suits the lyrics perfectly.

Very very enjoyable RPM album. I listened to it twice in a row!
Enjoyed this very much guys.
Damn, this is hard not to move to. So much going on!
Wow. Thanks to MMI, I listened to this. So very happy I did, it is right up my alley. I hope you'll keep uploading to alonetone!

Wow, absolutely loved this. More please!
As da Vinci says: "Art is never finished, only abandoned"
A *sweet* tune guys, really enjoying this, and I'm only on minute 3. Awesome. Found this via "Songs I haven't heard" on the radio.
I've got this cranked up, blasting through the house. Thanks!
Nice, love the breakdown and the last 15 seconds. Bow chicka vampire ftw.
