hi
just wanted to tell you how much your songs have grown on me. i have you and "missed connections on my ipod and i find, lately i gravitate right to your songs. great melodies, clever and creative arrangements and sensitive subject matter
thanks
tim
oh, mister purple,
always afraid you'll do something awful.
please, mr. purple.
Be you.
old lonely bachelor
wandering in your silly garden
crunchy little white stones
pass the time.
tough to relate to harm now
got to make your dime…

like the organ tone. what do you use to record? are the guitars direct? what about the drums. i like that you write from experience. again very dynamic
Standing in the shower last summer one weekend when my family was out of town, missing them. It made me think about how empty life is without the ones I love most. Also worked in some imagery I've been toying with for a number of years--the river…
rpmchallenge is exhausting. even when you don't have kids, or aren't taking classes, or don't have lots of vocational responsibilities. so, I didn't give up. I finished. but I thought about calling it quits. this song was a thought along the way…
great melodies here. i like how you build a grove. love the choral keys. i tend to like these kinds of drum loops as well.
never give up . rust never sleeps and all that

Sundays have always been a disappointment for me. If you've never spent the entire day just moving about, drinking beer, enjoying the weather and putting off the upcoming week, you should. Maybe not every week.
Based on the first lines of a Hindu spiritual song I've had stuck in my head for years, this song was included on the RPM 08 world music category compilation. World music--crazy! Wouldn't have expected that, but I'm honored that it was nominated…

This has a real intimate feel to it that I really like. The sparse arrangement is nice also. I thought drums might add something to this piece but I like it the way it is. Well done.
the phrase "on thatch, on leaves, on tin, on willow" is from the book "A House in Bali" by Colin McPhee
Originally for RPM '07 album.
It might drag on a bit long.
when i was 18 i took in a runaway
she crawled into my bed on the 7th day
i played her music and i cooked her food
i did everything i thought i should
i let her sleep late and i paid her way
then her dad showed up one day
well she had grown…
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…
I love alonetone, but one of the things I'm having trouble getting used to is that you can't reply to comments (?, or can you...?). So, the organ tone in 'soak' is sampled from one of those old reed pump organs. My parents have had one forever, and I sampled some notes and plugged them into MachFive. Other than that I use Digital Performer on an aging Mac. Guitars are direct for the most part, through some effects, and drums are samples, either my own kit or other samples. How about you?

Man I love this album cover. Can't wait to get home and listen.
I love your album cover and profile pic--where'd they come from?

Hey man, Finally catching up with alonetone. Thanks for all your generous comments--I like your stuff too. I love the beat/feel of this song.
nice. lots of fun stuff in there. reminds me of yoshimi-era flaming lips. nice, non-pretentious concept pieces here!
wow, fun!
Lew! What an awesome, moody and complex piece.
Awesome arrangements here. Leaves me wanting more!!
