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.
The first version.
This is the first and only song I wrote on [arrsuarez](http://alonetone.com/arrsuarez)'s Christmas gift to me, a mbira that he lovingly crafted by hand.

I love that the title has a period on the end. Almost makes it believable when it's below freezing outside.
Beautiful sound. You've really captured the feeling here.
Poured myself a small cup of acoustic guitar, half finger picking, half ebow. Nothing fancy, nothing magical, nothing fantastical, just something to relax through.
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.
For my friend and coworker, because he certainly deserves it.

You need locking up for crimes against poor, sentimental, over-sensitive ladies as they sit alone at night, in the dark (because these candles look lovely but are rubbish, to be honest) sipping red wine with only their dreams for company. Vocal rings out like a bell over already heartbreaking notes. I shoot you with my blubbing.
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…
For my friend and coworker, because he certainly deserves it.

A piece I produced for Classical Public Radio last fall after interviewing conductor Stefan Sanderling. What he has to say about music and why he does what he does is powerful, especially against the backdrop of music from Shostakovich's Symphony…
The text on this track comes off a B-side from one of [Putnam Aldrich's](http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putnam_Aldrich) (my great-grandfather) records. He was a harpsichordist, a professor at Stanford, a chain smoker, and apparently had a sense…
i made this song up real fast. and i obviously threw it into the computer real fast. i have trouble with levels. but then again, that's what the songs about. let's hear it for Temper Tantrums!
This has your trademark thick vocal sound - those hits are just so nice and milkshake thick. Screw the levels, this thing sings and demands to be turned up no matter what. ANGRY GOOD!
This is another track resulting from a project in my digital music class at Oasis Charter Middle School (Spring 2007). Using a common pool of objects, my newborn daughter's baby instruments, I asked the students to create episodic sound illustrations…
A couple of years ago i went through some pretty intense surgeries and i think this song describes the fear, pain and uncertainty that i felt during those times.
Again....thank you for listening.
here comes another deep track of mine straight from cubase fresh to hear this goes deep youll be warned. special in this track I used two different acapellas from different artist I always lke to experiment u know so this featurin great vocalz…

As far as having a real and coherent back-and-forth (with replying and so on), best thing to do for now is to take it to the forums or get their email address. The alonetone commenting system aint yet built for threaded conversations.
This montage is about making music and what it means to people. It uses comments from a number of classical musicians interviewed for a radio series I record and produce called "The Main Street Sessions". The music is from "The Gospel of Thomas…
Oh wow! Jennifer, I'm very very happy you found alonetone. Seeing all of your wonderful and positive comments has really brought me smiles over the last few days - and this track is just simply great to listen to, a well produced tribute.
Wow! I can't believe I missed this. I really enjoy your voice. I visited your MySpace site - you should put up a few more tunes on alonetone, I think people would really enjoy them here.

Inspiring, Jennifer. Keep posting these productions, I really enjoy listening to them, for both the music and the words. Shosti is a favorite of mine.
TIGHT. My favorite from your recent uploads!
Thanks for the comments jennifer!
This track is solid, makes me wanna get on my feet. Amazing work.

Oh my god, I would have loved to have a class in middle school where we got to produce stuff like this. Amazing.
Your voice is so natural, I love it.
Nice & mellow - pretty awesome that you are using samples/clips from ccmixter, there's a lot of good source over there.
Oh my god, am I going crazy, or are you? Really pleasent to listen to, glu.
What a great build up this track has. Nice strings

Yeah, there's nothing to figure out (except you should use it as much as possible!)

Wow! Digital break beats and some mighty fine banjo - a winning combo.
Nice & chill, tpunkt, dig it.

I really like this last batch of songs you put up. Listening for the second time in a row through them...
This track rocks! I wish the vocals were more up front and louder. The synths are pretty awesome.
I'm really glad you uploaded more music, thank you!
Diminished as in the chord, or the skill set?
