I played 12 string guitar and 5 string bass along with Norm's original percussion track http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son. The only effects were a bit of attack shaping on the bass (compression w/o compressing).
I did this kind of oddly…
After Creation is an entry into the Vox Novus 15 Minutes of Fame competition for flute and marimba duet. Unfortunately the entry was not accepted for performance but undeterred I present to you a performance of the score rendered by Garritan…
I thought a microtonal piece almost completely in absynth would be a decent goal. So, I improvised bass, lead, chords, effects in 19 notes per octave against a sequence of drum loops run through effects. Then - just to see the difference I took…

This is simple test of East-West symphonic choirs solo soprano voice and East-West Hollywood strings contra-bass. I feel its a bit reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - of course, your mileage may vary - it is a very simple and direct arrangement…

interesting listen,,, very different,, im enjoying this not because it's the typical stuff, but rather because once again you are leading me off into musical directions that are new.. thanks R
Norm's original 12/8 percussion track that forms the basis for the entire piece. http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/mother-nut-drop

I'll always come by to listen to the music of Middle-Earth. Perfectly captured Elven voice sound! Oh... And make sure you get in touch with an Elf that still prefers to speak Quenya if you ever get the chance to record a real one (the high-Elven speech really is quite beautiful although the Sindarin tongue has it's own elegant flow).
Very cool song (coming from this card-carrying Tolkien disciple). Well done!

Chris, pretty nice, nice deep mellow sound on the bass,,,,the voice is also pretty good, i think i like it better than that of symphonic instruments,,,but i have not found myself doing well, ever, when trying to work with solo voice,,, i enjoyed this R

This is an experiment where I slowed down Norm Harris’ percussion track “7th Son†http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son and slowed it down by a factor of five and ran it through effects and such – and then played along with my 17…
i like the way the lead guitar notes blend, is this an effects pedal? (perhaps im showing my ignorance,, oh well) in fact it seems as if many notes are bent/blended in this piece,, very cool,,,, by the way, just for reference, which CM did you say ,, i enjoyed this a lot

love the sound of the slowed percussion each beat seems to shake...sounds like musical devastation the twisted sounds in the silence after something major just happened...an earthquake or Tornado...with a man in a Pink Tuxedo running around crazed in the wreckage looking for his lost Bride.......
Fisherman and the Siren by Lord Frederic Leighton
This is a blues collaboration between The TwoRegs (vocals / lyrics) and Norm Harris (percussion) and myself (17 note per octave electric guitar and fretless bass).
We hope you enjoy it…
I purchased a new M-Audio midi keyboard during RPM. The software alone was worth the $100.
There was no chance I was wasting any time during RPM with a learning process.
Today, I got the opportunity to install the software and plug it in. This…
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
a song about an old flame that just won't burn out. it's a ballad of sorts, with a harder ending. i did this in about 7 hours. in the middle section i am playing guitar without a pick for the first time in a recording (big deal hey?)
A rubbish track by Tess got the Sandbags treatment here - the results only hold shades of the original. And it's just as well.

my tribute to a very underrated, underappreciated band. 40 yrs ago thier self titled lp came out, and i cover one from the lp as a tribute on thier 40th anniversary. im not a lead guitarist, and a new singer, so please bear with me on that.
I was listening to Jesmiaus earlier Trick of your love (RPM2012) and it gave me an idea for my first RPM this year...so thanks Will...... hope you all enjoy this....i did doing it...they say smoking weed can make you schitzophrenic but i’m not…
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
Hi Kirk, typically it is easiest to start talking about notes as numbers in the tuning. So say for instance a a fifth would be from note 1 (or 0) to note 12 (11). This page may help http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/19edo
*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.

Really like this.
I'm surprised the rhythm pattern holds up as well as it does being slowed down 5X - I like the reverb that you have added. Wild stuff!
For the prices Club Med charges, I had expected a somewhat happier sounding place!

Wow...goin' OUT! Love it...T-rex meets Tom Waits for a beautifully gnarly blues-brawl.
loose...in the moment...in the zone. It takes me to another place...and I'm there.

I love the backwardsness !!
lovely - you have such a talent for beauty!
I got an m-audio 88es - big brother - very good keyboard. This is a very nice piece - and the title theme is excellent~
excellent!! and I love the photo too!
that makes more sense...
yes, the bluesy part.
I saw autoharp and I had to listen. I really like this song. Very nice vibe to it.
enjoyed - like Kate Bush meets Tori Amos at Apex Twin's home studio.
well, Iceland is about half-way - I say we have an Alontone party in Reykjavík - perhaps we can get Bjork to join in!!
this is lovely - way way too short!!
excellent - never heard the original but I love what you've done here.
awesome!!
once again - simply beautiful!
beautiful!
Love the vocal split - excellent rock ballad
hi Kavin, Wondering Aloud is on my list!
