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.
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.

reminds me of the "the weakerthans". i really like the guitar tones . seeing how you can make changes, i would love to see and have been advocating for, a tab for lyrics. it can be a much richer experience if you can read along and not miss the music because you are straining to understand the story or message. i have been putting my words under the "ABOUT " tab but it isnt obvious to the listener. love your style and voice.

Listening to your Hawaii collection. Nice. And thanks for putting together such a cool site for musicians. I'll be joining up and uploading my first, Rusty Ramblings. Give me some more time and I'll re-record as Slightly Polished Ramblings! JJ Dude (Jeff)
The title comes from reading "The Willows in Winter" to my son Maurice, which is the sequel to "The Wind in The Willows" and thinking of Toad and the sort of idyllic natural landscape. While messing around in Logic, I ended up creating a "Drag…
This song made a little splash in the New Music blogosphere back in July 2008. With possibly the first diss rap directed at modern chamber music groups, Hybrid Groove Project (that's DJ Dubble8 and new music saxophonist Brian Sacawa) brought some…
This is freaking hilarious! Milton Bizzabit! Perfectly fitting samples. Create that controversy, Dubble8!
My absolute favorite line: "Sound original? Nope!
We’re putting new dope twists on licks that Philip Glass wrote."
When CobSOn was 6 years old, mom and dad Cobson sent her to the local music school (in the suburbs of Toulouse) where she started to play the piano. The course lasted 11 years.
During the summer 2002, she wrote her first words, "give the slip…
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…
For the record, nothing is out of "format" for alonetone. If it is uploadable, and you made it then it is worth listening to. Bring it on. (I mean it, I really enjoy listening to your stuff)

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.

OH SUDARA, THIS IS LOVELY!! It's SO melodious, and multi-layered. I know it can't be easy to play! Great work. (with a nod to A!) PS If winter doesn't pass soon, it's sunny here!
Really nice, though that idea strikes terror into my heart where I am.
It wants thick vocal harmonies, but no lyrics...just mouth noises. (My opinion only of course.) Lovely stuff!
Oh, man. This is wonderful. Evocative. Just right. As usual. ;) More, please!!

Clean as a cut onion, and with a heap of relish, delicious!

This is great. Chilled out and well recorded!
Nice, Skidoo, this is some clean and relaxing playing.
Man, this one clicks for me.

Ooooh, I love the wah and distortion on this one, freaking awesome.
Sweeet, great opener for this album, man.

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!)
