A cover as a 100th track seems apt, as I dislike doing covers of any sort, and as of yet have only attempted to cover one song. In fact, I had to stop listening to this song for a year because it just depressed me to hell. I've attached a video…
This was a 30 minute album, but the first 20 minutes got screwed up :( It is one take, but I forgot you can't replace instruments during the recording, as in you can but the previous instrument just vanishes. Hence only the remaining 10 minutes…
Got a new toy! (Boss DD-20) For some time at least, wanted to try it out so made this track in a stupor. No post production here, well except some reverb and fade in.

or... dig this, why not try a sensual massage from a manatee masseuse?
It's a fun, sexy time at the endless seafood buffet!
The little intro ballad here was inspired by the overly sentimental, 80's synth-cheese soundtrack to Wong…

Depeche Mode lite
I was going to hire Meatloaf for the ending but it turns out he will NOT work for pancakes... which is what I had heard.
This is one of the prime examples of (early on) being WAY more ambitious than what my ability…
A moody piece I whipped up while testing the new Live 9 beta.
Basically, two chords (Cmin7, Bmaj7) and some layered noodles.
Still have a busted finger, so the guitar playing is... restricted.
Two guitar tracks, lots of effects and some beer.
For the gear heads, the effects list was:
EHX - Freeze
EHX - Memory Man with Hazarai
TC - Hall of Fame Reverb
Digitech - JamMan Stereo
TC/PGS - Trinity Reverb
xotic - EP booster
NI - Guitar Rig 4
Inspired by a line in one of the many books I read while laid up with a recent back injury.
Song of The Raven Queen

As The Fool set sail in an old milk pail
To fetch the Moon's reflection
The Mountains stood as of course they should…
An as yet unused demo from RPM 2012... This was the last song I wrote in Feb 2012 & feel like it is a companion piece to the opening song, "You, Miles Away" -- a perfect little bookend, actually.

This was the first track I wrote during the RPM sessions for 2012. It's one of those RPM "demos" that I took down about three months ago with the intention of re-recording it. I haven't done anything in all that time, and I figured this can…

This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…
Rather, it includes Norm's excellent track Pilón For A New Son (http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/piln-for-a-new-son). Was trying to find out how less I can get away with in rhythms while still having enough flow. Feedback welcomed :)
@Norm: Thanks! Yeah I can see what you mean, I love trying to implement other ideas in my music, trying to adapt to new styles etc. Lots of fun. Suffice it to say I'll be using more of your tracks in the future :)
A test run with my new Line 6 DL4 delay pedal. Recorded with a handheld mp3 recorder, hence the ambient room noise. The DL4 was fed into a BOSS loop pedal also. No overdubs, all on the fly.

Nice. It's also interesting when you play the same rhythm but on different times, say one in 4/4, and a same pattern but stretched (or compressed) to a triplet, gives a really full surround, though I'm talking in terms of guitar or synths, not sure how it would play out in percussion.
I thought so little of this song at first I filed it away in a folder on my hard disk called "nogood". About a year later I listened to it again and changed my mind.
Comments on Tipu's stuff
Good Track and interesting images. The back lit Drummer was my favorite
tipu, i feel the heat , humidity is high and I want to fly, ahhh there we go!
Beautiful!
Sounds dreamy, ideal for wondering!
Less is more...... more or less. :)
Real tasty Tipu.
Sounds like it might accompany a documentary on the space station.
No? Well you got them with this one then. Sounds very mellow and rather haunting. Nice mandolin type sounds.
Simple and effective!
so beautiful. was well tense till I put this on. :)
Well, I think that was really pretty!
:)
Wonderful dreamscape...floating...drifting...
Cool tones and effects on that boss.
Beautiful track!
This invites me in, especially with the voice... I haven't deciphered it yet, but it sounds wise...
Love it!
So beautiful... Looking inward through the outward, all becomes clear... I am now stillness, for 3:08 at least!
Excellent!
Hey, this is really cool.

BB will be missed by all, till end of all. At least, I really hope so.
hahaha
I really like how the beats hit deep and the synth growls. And the singing is excellent!
instant love. those clean shimmery guitars and the percussion in the back! the influence shines through!
Moody indeed. Serious flares vibes from this. And you got the new live 9 beta :o
nice, sounds like a sci fi movie intro too. I would remix it...some time
Great stuff. Sounds very natural, amazing its just you making the whole thing, given the progressions in all the instruments.
I did download it earlier, loved it, different than expected too, in a great sense.
Magnificent. Love the eerie-ness as well.
Very humble. I like how your vocals are slightly chorused.
Like the progressions, very Zeuhl.
Man, wish I could sing that breezily
ah, the Ambrosian chant. I see why you named it for him now, I think.

great track, love the wah-type delays that come in later

and sprite!
love the organs
Your songs have a very alternative feel to them, which is great.
Brilliant.
