Poured myself a small cup of acoustic guitar, half finger picking, half ebow. Nothing fancy, nothing magical, nothing fantastical, just something to relax through.
Written for/about Ben Montgomery. Answering machine messages wondering where he might be are from yours truly and Jason Biehler, his two closest friends who were always trying to track him down.
I took you seriously
I took it carefully
I didn't want to breathe too loudly
I walked around silently
I didn't say a word
Fear was there beside me
I know it sounds absurd
But so what?
So what.
I lived without money
I've lived without…
You are incredible, Thanks for staying underground. That is if you dont have some massive real record deal already, because you have the sound that could kick Cold play's ass.
And the that is alot comming from me seeing as they are one of my favorite bands.
I only here some odd emptiness in the music, it needs a more rich sounds to it, possibly the recording quality.
Rough and Slow acoustic version of the more poppy [lifeline glu and sudara collaboration](http://alonetone.com/doublemeanings/tracks/lifeline).
If you like 4 minutes of the same 3 chords, you'll LOVE this song.
Now that I have two microphones…
After an adventure in re-recording the entire song down a third, we came back to the original, tightened and tuned.
Always the self flagellating perfectionist, it still needs a bit more love. Always the pragmatist, it is probably done for now.
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…

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.
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…

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!
Ooooh, I'm glad I'm following you, or I would have missed this in the all of the new tracks being uploaded now. Awesome, I'm happy you are making new tunes - These two new ones are solid, a lot of fun.
Hmmm, If this is 'not finished' then man, hand me everything you've ever not finished because it's pure gold. This thing has got me moving, love the outro man. Miss you.
lyrics:
i got a hot date
and you know i don't wanna be late
i need a ride
to the bowling alley
get ready cuz here i come
put my new skirt on
chewing peppermint gum
did my eyebrows fresh
white musk on my neck
part my hair to the right
cuz its…

Epic, not in the internet term, simply. large in scale. it seems.

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!

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! :)

REALLY well done - so much fun! So good to see a new track from you! I'd give you a ride in a heartbeat...well...if I had a car...
LOVED this track, MMI. It's one of my favorites of yours.
Great playing colin. Love it.
Yeah glu! I could listen to tracks like this all day, I really like this direction of yours. +1 for the real instrument / synth mix.
Anthony. It's the juice man. You have it. Great kick off for Record Production Month, I'm very excited that you are on board!
