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)
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…
Comments on Sudara's stuff
I like this a lot. --Great tones.
wow! how did this get past the gludar? what a cool track. I love the dulcimer. took a summer course years ago... learned a little arlo gutherie. wish I still had one.
Cool track. I like the arrangement. Just the right amount of space Nice percussion background.
hmm... nay to ze drumz now? methinks a hit as is?
Beautiful
Lovely track!!
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!!

Wow. Wendy freakin' loves this - and so do I. More Hang, please!
It certainly gave me Happy Feet! Great dancy tune and amazing Hung sound!
Clean as a cut onion, and with a heap of relish, delicious!
Interesting sound, sounds like something one could use to make loungy, heared-in-the-background music.
Great fun- cool tune!!
Always brilliant... The guitar sounds EXCELLENT!!!
Wow, that is just plain Good!
Oh WOW...this is EXCELLENT!

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!
